I was expecting this actually but it didn't happen.

Huge credit and respect to the designer, and the people behind the car if several... It is genious!
Not sure who was behind it tough.. The photoshop thread is full full of pictures, and I saw several people posting stuff related to the car and design.
Please, tell me who was behind it, and post latest version.

I would be all over a 86 hatchback. Especially in "L" edition.

Decreasing 25hp and 20g CO2. Would knock off about 10700USD on the sales price of 75000USD in Norway (land of extreme engine taxes)...

Not that I could afford a new Supra anyway. But I would not be surprised to see Toyota working together with BMW if making a new Supra.
-Toyota are already working together with Euro car makers on small cars. (Peugeot 106, Citroën C1, Toyota Aygo.. Basically same car..)
-Toyota will work together with Peugeot and Citroën on the new Hiace. (Fresh news! Source)
-Toyota and Subaru are working on the GT86/BRZ.
-Toyota and BMW have already signed a deal to collaborate on sports car and EV technology. (news still less than a month old) Source

So im guessing we will see something eco friendly electric/hybrid stuff sports car.. or a new supra or something with angine from BMW..
Old supra used straight six. I would say BMW is at the top of the game when it comes to straight six engines today. And if going for a strong and efficient 4 sylinder, BMW is already there with their 2 liters engines..

BMWs 1,6l turbo in the Cooper S is also shared with Peugeot and Citroën. Have not heard any complaining there. (should not be, since it is 2012 international engine of the year). If we should see a new supra, it could still be a car with the majority of Toyota parts. But they would probably take an engine from BMW since it would cost a lot for Toyota to make a brand new and efficient engine (and gearbox) just for a new Supra.
Todays car market is hard, so seems more and more car manufacturers are gathered under the same roof, or collaborating on cars and projects.

Oh you didn't know? Ichitaka made those. I lost all my copies but there was a thread here where he had a coupe with a ducktail, convertible, and showed off the newest version of the hatchback.

Toyota should hire Ichitaka and start making hatchback edition now!
ASAP!

LOL thanks!

Don't worry, I've gave targa & hatch 86 to Tada-san.
These ones



& the duckbill ones you're talking bout is this one right?

[Re~Mix]

I love the targa look. Brings out the inner Fast & The Furious in me

that's how I wish the 'trunk' opened, was always my favorite sporty/sports car setup

Oh I missed this thread.
I'm fairly sure a new rotary engine will have to be single rotor, as there is no way to improve the combustion chamber shape much. So scaling it up to improve surface area to volume ratio would be the only way to avoid the massive heat rejection rotaries typically experience. Luckily, rotaries are super easy to balance, just stick a counterweight into the flywheel assembly. It would be interesting if Mazda tried to mess around with "variable duration" ports. Rotaries are also a good candidate for exhaust turbogenerators.

If they come up with a say ~1L single rotor engine that doesn't guzzle gas and oil and break down all the time, that could be something really great. An MX-5 with that sort of powerplant would be something to save up for.

A new MR2 would be awesome, but they really really need a 6 speed gearbox this time.

I'm more interested in the smaller cars, don't much care for the nuclear powered tanks. The C7 Corvette hopefully will have a less retarded displacement and hence less mass.

WAIT! Someone is selling a nuclear powered tank! Where do I sign up. I've always wanted a MR. Fusion Reactor-Sports and/or Barely Radioactive Zone vehicle!
