Toyota could sell that concept car, probably not. And the concept car is not a Supra. Nor is the Lexus posted here several times.
Pics of the "MKV Supra" (I know I know...repost, but just look)
- Thread starter Turbo. Targa. Life.
- Start date
The black car with pads on it that had "spy shots" done on it was nicer looking. That thing looks like a silver nightmare. The rims are terrible. Triple exhaust.. why? It looks like a Lexus SC430 had sex with a S2000 and they gave birth to a hardtop. An ugly baby hardtop.
Turbo. Targa. Life. said:This is confirmed to be true. It will be a TT v6 producing around 420hpThe $70k price tag is right too
Believe it when I see it.
Until I get more concrete evidence, all of you guys' are talking out of your asses as far as I'm concerned.

Did you just make that up? LOL.
An inline 6 is perfectly balanced by itself. Not because it's inline, just because it is, haha. There are plenty of articles looking at the balance and momentum.
Inline 4's, 5's, etc are not balanced, 6's are.
I like the look of the car got boost? posted but not the BS text about it. 3JZ, twin turbo, 500bhp, targa option no verts or GTFO
Not to bring up an old thread or anything but I decided, rather that start a new one I would just throw a little fuel on these smoldering coals.
It looks like Toyota has given the green light for production of the FT-HS in 2009. Toyota's answer to the GTR-Proto.

Actually, a V8 is well balanced because with a 90 degree V configuration and 8 cylinders, you can easily counter-balance the movement of the pistons with counterweights on the crankshaft. This does make for a heavier rotating assembly though.Turbo. Targa. Life. said:
An inline 6 is balanced because of the movement of the 6 (important)cylinders in a plane. There is another cylinder doing the exact opposite of any given cylinder in the motor. If one's moving up, another's countering it by moving down. If one con rod is accelerating to the left, another is acceleratign to the right. Interesting note, and I3 engine is almost as well balanced, but with vibrations end to end due to cylinder movements not being mirrored on the other end of the motor.
A V12 is also very well balanced regardless of plane angle. It's 2 I6s together
An I5 is pretty well balanced, but not practical for the same reasons as an I6. A V6 is a very good compromise with cost, balance and size, which is why a lot of auto makers are switching a lot of cars to them. You can balance a V6 very nicely with a single balance shaft located in between the V. I4 motors are really unbalanced by nature, but they're really cheap to make.
I dont know, I still like 7 main bearings on my motor
These car rags LOVE to report this stuff because it makes people who will never be able to afford a $60,000 sports car run out and buy the magazine.
Automotive News: All rumors of the two-passenger sports car's return are false until you see the car at the dealership.

That and there are a few with it testing on the Nurburgring. Just thought id throw that up there.
Also as a side note, what is believed to be the new tiburon is RWD and has a turbo'd 4...
C'mon Toyota.... If Hyandai can make a turbo'd RWD car then so can you!

Its nice, for a new car. I would pick my mk3 over it anyday. I just think new cars are getting uglier and uglier every year.
YARIS?
PRIUS?

I remember these threads starting for the new 2002 Supra. It is not coming. Well, a change in leadership/strategy might bring one.
well, it's a sedan, but the new Lexus LS 600h L looks pretty bad ass and available soon/if not already(seen the commercials?). 5.0L V8, 430HP, Hybrid, 19 speaker surround sound system...
