[carbonBLUE]

I WANT A FLAT 8 ENGINE talks about center of gravity.... mmm

I waited 5 years for my FR-S PLEASE AND I REALLY MEAN PLEEEEEEEEEEASE dont make me do it again for this... lol

If I can afford it by the time it comes out. It will become my DD low mileage weekend/car meet car.

The car hit and astonishing 187 mph on GT6 and apparently it is turbocharged on the game. Any thoughts? (I played the game when the first ft86 concept was given as a dlc in the game an it was NA, then they gave us a second car which was the ft86 G Sports concept which was turbocharged, and afterwards they debuted the cars in real life, with the exact specs on the game).

Yup. I love the FR-S/BR-Z styling. I only care for the low-slung sleek shaped sports cars period...lol. The Challenger/Camaro/Mustang have more of a squared shape I can't ever like.

And it did sound like the old supra, turbo I6...

I noticed the GT-R roofline has inspired a lot of designs recently.

Nissan were inspired by the FT-HS roofline in the first place!

I would love to see the S55 engine in the production car (under that toyota cover), as it is about as close to a modern 2jz-gte as current engines get. Then there would also be a chance that this car gets the 6 speed getrag manual that the new M3/M4 will get. Im sure aftermarket potential will be there too with the S55.

I'm sorry, BMW can't build reliable/durable engines as Toyota, especially turbo engines.

Once again, I disagree. I would say that their engines themselves are reliable. Consider the inline sixes: The older engines, M20s/M50s go well over 300K miles, with some M30s going past 400K miles and seeing routine track time.

Plenty of M52s/M54s well over 200K miles and still going strong. And plenty of N52s/N54s well above 100K miles and the latter running overstock boost.

Yes, they didn't have many stock turbo applications until recently (so the N54s couldnt rack up as much miles as a 2jz from the early 90s), but as far as Im seeing BMW's 90's engines are lasting as long as the 2jz's (both the ge and the gte) without needing a rebuild/needing internal engine work.

BMW's reliability issues usually come not from the engines themselves, but rather the plastics and electronics surrounding the engine.

Come on 9:1 3.5L I6 TT..... 3JZ.... Lol I can dream

[czar07]

I think this MAY be based on the LF-LC platform..based on the side on picture it looks like the engine is located behind the front wheels..

Remember the GT6 car is the Concept and according to autonews.com:

"With that in mind, if the FT-1 were to become a production car, viewers should think smaller. To be perceived as a serious sports car on the show floor, the FT-1 had to have stage presence. That meant the concept would be 10 percent larger than what a real-world vehicle would be, Hunter said.

Take the FT-HS and the first FT86 concept and blend them together, you get the FT-1

I could see it by the angle of the roof, window and 3rd window.

Love the concept, I just can (like all concepts) hope it doesn't loose too much in production.
