WTF? They've only just launched this, customers don't yet have their cars, not been road tested by the magazines yet and they are already doing a tweaked version?
Why? Anyone who wants one is already gagging to get their hands on one, and adding a few carbon bits won't make any difference to already sky-high demand (although might upset some folks who wanted the exclusive first editions?)
Surely better to let the initial hype roll on for a few more months, get the press / road tests etc and when interest is flagging THEN you do some carbon fibre tweaks and nice rims to get yourselves back on the front page of the magazines/ web site?
Or am i missing something?
Just one thing your missing, if Toyota release a picture that’s a 5 year teaser for something that’ll look completely different in 5 years.Why?

Will they get 1000+ BHP out of it though?
Closed deck design block with forged internals. Might not be good for 1k but I'm sure it'll manage 650 ish...?knebworth01 said:
I assume the 'turdy' bit is the BMW DNA inside, and that will never be polished out.Makes an exciting car dull.
Looks wise, it is a bit challenging but all the better for it IMO. Isnt trying to please the style above substance brigade.
I suspect that the bmw drivetrain is the best part of the whole project. But yeah, turdy. Looks wise, it is a bit challenging but all the better for it IMO. Isnt trying to please the style above substance brigade.

I know everyone is entitled to an opinion, but to me that looks worse than the factory efforts. I like cars that sit right and ride low but to lower to the point where its not actually possible to function as a vehicle sort of misses the point in a performance car IMO.Pumpsmynads said:
