  1. Is it a mistake? I don't think so.

  2. "but made a mistake introducing turbo motors into their vehicles" - nowadays, turbos are the norm for many cars. It ain't a mistake given the current auto environment.

  3. Why does the car need a V6 anyway?

  4. The video snippet of the prototype suggests a reuse of the RC F's V8.

  5. Kinda debatable. Besides, there's the problem of infrastructure that needs similar focus for EVs to thrive properly. EDIT: Then, there is another issue of 3rd-world countries that don't have even the same level of infrastructure as the U.S.

  6. ​ @seanv3180  - he's saying: The RC F and LC 500 are there if you want an actual Toyota, yet why haven't we bought a lot of them and tinker with their V8s for crazy horsepower numbers?

  7. Not quite. You might want to check out savagegeese's documentary regarding the NSX.

  8. "Just make it themselves." - doubt you'll be buying the finished product anyway, if I were to be honest.

  9. The thing is: GT3 regs do not permit hybrid powertrains. The NSX is required to ditch it and be purely ICE only.

  10.  @Yogi5D  - more than 24,000... in the U.S. alone - compared to how many A80s were sold new in the same market?

  11. BMW isn't even using their Z4 to race with, whereas the GR Supra gets a GT4 Evo version this year after a fruitful 2022 with its win in the DTM Trophy. Besides, even the CEO of Toyota drove the car during the 2019 24 Hours of the Nurburgring.

  12. Developing just a straight-6 engine would be expensive even for just one car. Besides, we didn't buy enough A80s back when it was brand new and even some of Toyota's other offering via Lexus with their RC and LC.

  13. Previous Supra's don't use bespoke engines (they're shared with other Toyota and Lexus models). Besides, that could increase the price to a point where less people could afford it.

  14. Based on the specs, not really.

  15.  @competitiveautomotive5457  - no hate on Honda, but Toyota did a bit more (WRC, WEC, 24 Hours of Nurburgring, even going as far as to make an ICE using hydrogen as fuel for a local endurance series - Super Taikyu).

  16. "The reason why the the Supra isn't doing too well cuz it's Beamer underneath that why." - nope. Besides, the current Supra outsold the previous A80 gen by quite a good margin anyway.

  17. The concept Trueno uses a converted 4A-GE for the hydrogen part.

  18. Apples-to-oranges... IS 500 is still a sedan at the end of the day.

  19. Afraid no. "Zoom Zoom" works best as part of the marketing slogan.

  20. Yeah, not really.

  21. Pretty much correct. EDIT: I do suggest writing "ICE only" for clearer context, but at least you did some good effort.

  22. Doesn't exactly work that way in the age of electrification and ever-increasing performance targets (especially for sports cars).
