Please don't become a 3,800 pound tank though. If I wanted that I'd go get myself another GT500, not that there's anything wrong with that either…in a muscle car. |

The RC350 is about 3,500lbs. So I would expect FT1 will to be around that weight. For those that do not know we have a new FT1Club. |

This is the Celica XX / Supra remake that will be the top model for the 3 tier sports car line-up for Toyota. Most people don't remember the Supra was originally the top model Celica.
The 86 is the middle model (Sprinter Trueno / Levin remake). There will be an entry level model (I'm thinking MR2 remake) once the new Supra is launched. The Lexus RC is just a remake of the Soarer / Lexus SC. I think Akio Toyoda wants the old sports car line-up back from the days he first joined Toyota in the early 80's (remember "Fun To Drive" from early 1984 that he brought back as "Fun To Drive Again" in late 2011 with the intro of the new 86). |

The RC is more of a IS coupe if anything. A true SC successor may be in the works with BMW. FT-1 Wheelbase: 107.9 in Length: 184.1 in Width: 77.6 in Height: 48.2 in Lexus RC Wheelbase: 107.5 in Length: 184.8 in Width: 72.4 in Height: 54.9 in |

The LF-LC is a 2+2 luxury coupe that will most likely underpin the gen Lexus LS. LS and LC, kinda makes sense when you look at it that way. Quote:

The competition for the LF-LC? Now lets talk about the SC/SC successor. BMW and Lexus are both missing a: 1. A Two seater midsize coupe/roadster (Mercedes SL competitor). 2. A Two seater midsize mid engine sports car (NSX and R8 competitor). BMW has confirm that they are in talks with Toyota on a Roadster. We also learn last year that the BMW/Toyota car will be a midsize. Base on these two facts it looks like it will be a SC replacement of some kind. Just a render BMW Confirms Talks with Toyota on Roadster Quote:

Keep in mind that Toyota is a major stock holder in Yamaha.

Bit of a random post but;
I really love the design of the nameplate. I dunno how or why they came up with it like that, but it looks so good... |

When I get my supra I'm getting a shirt like that^^^^ Then flying it on my antenna while I drive the car shirtless.
... Isn't/wasn't this the V16 that Cadillac trolled around for a while? But anyway, If the FT1 comes out to be a mini McLaren P1/Porsche 918 I'd be ok with it being a hybrid. My only problem would be how the hell am I going to mod a hybrid? Would you only mod the Gasoline engine, throw a turbo on it... That's what would bother me. How could I make it faster.

i get that hybrids are going to be met with resistance but typically emissions are good for performance. inventions like fuel injection, direct injection, and general aero awareness are all a product of emissions so im looking forward to it. |
