2017 FR-S to get Electric Turbo?
 

I saw this article a couple days ago and thought it might be worth sharing. I think most publications generally accept the 2017 refresh will get a HP bump but this is the first rumor I've heard of an electric turbo. I don't know how likely that would be for just a refresh but it would be cool to see. Here is the article:

The original source of the information about the power bump, among other changes, is in an interview with Toyota's chief designer Tetsuya Tada here:

At the very least I am going to hold out on buying my FR-S until the 2017's come out I think.

Ignore that website. Ignore everything until it's official.

Not another one of these....


Don't even have to open the links to tell you that I don't believe it unless it's leaked through toyota.
@David the Gnome You'll soon find out that people on this forum do not take "rumors" lightly as we hear them all the time and not a single one has ever been remotely close to true because everyone wants to hear that the FR-S' will be getting a bump in power etc. etc.

motoring.com.au is full of shit. I have the real leaked 2017 specs:

AHHHHH DAMNIT
And we were doing so well without any moroning.au crap. Now there are going to be 100 other "sites" saying there is an electric SC just around the corner.

NOW

Where have you been the last week? It hasn't been huge, but people have been making noise about this for a little while.

Aaaaaaannnnd another one has taken the bait.

RIP

Oh I know I have heard but now that motoring has thrown it out there it is going to get even worse. The fun part is that for a change some other clickbait started it and motoring is just using their stuff and saying it was them. Sort of an unusual twist.
Hell they even stole the "spy" shots of the mule and threw their logo over them to make it seem like they were theirs.

One post and just to drop click bait? I say ban him. Fucking spammer

And no further activity since 6:07. No check back on comments, no go look at something else. Not unheard of but certainly unusual.

Center hand brake? SICKKKKK

That would be a very good idea, then you would know for sure ..... :D


humfrz

That is a deal breaker for me. I am holding out for them to put them back on the floor where they belong.
Old Skool foevea
