I thought we had already established the car height by using the rim (wheel) diameter on the test car? Just use the 17" rim (wheel) on the test cars as a basis to measure everything else on the car..more accurate than using a drawn image that may not be to scale..thus the 21" rims (wheels).

YMMV.

Excellent detective work guys!

I like this picture with the guy standing next to it. Gives you a good idea of how it looks with someone as a reference.

r diff seems barely too low for proper trunk space estimate

It's amazing what you can do when you have nothing else to do.

The apparent load height from that pic is really low. The top of the bumper is at his knees! Getting stuff in and out of the trunk is going to be really easy.

Edit: I think these lines are right

I am nearly 6'3" and I fit just fine in my Yaris. But it is a tall little car, even after I lowered it. I am going to be REALLY bummed if this car comes out, its everything I hoped it would be, and I can't fit in it.

Many years ago when I could only afford a older used car I was really falling for the spunky little Toyota Paseo. I had the money it was affordable I was ready. Went down the used car lot and I just could not fit in that little car. But I have driven my friend 2000 Celica GT-S and I fit it in just fine.

Anyway, here is hoping us tall folks won't have any problems.

The FR-S concept is lower than the Mk. I & Mk. II concept

HI MannyO, can you do us a favor? can you draw a line that is about 17.8" high and mark a cross with circle on this line that is at 49% from the front bumper (based on 51:49 front-rear distribution)? That would indicate where the COG is located.

Thanks in advance..

Just from eyeballing it, it's right in the driver's but. You're literally driving by the seat of your pants. The LFA was designed around the same principal.
