Yup, from what I was told the vents on the door, hood, and rear bumper are also fake.

It's definitely there, but some of the renders had it looking all Alice the Goon like the world's ugliest car.

Can't help but think they are releasing the pedestrian models first. More hardcore models will follow, with proper brakes and utilizing the areas where fake vents currently preside.

Even the base model Corvette (Stingray) forgoes fake vents. Just sayin'.

I hate the steering wheel if that’s what they’re going with. Chunky and awful.

This is what Tada san told AutoCarsUK at Goodwood.

https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/n...e-on-sale-date

Quote:
“I can’t disclose specific figures, but the output of this engine is on a par with that which we have with the F-Series from Lexus,”

“But you can imagine from seeing it that the car is light and compact – its wheelbase is even shorter than the GT86’s. It’s around 200-300kg lighter than the F-Series.”

From what I can see the car looks better in real life(photos) compared to the renders. I didn't like it at all at first but I think it might look all right, especially since the "beak" isn't as pronounced and "beakish" as the renders made it seem.

Supra forum insider:
Quote:
Just got word back from an engineer over on the other side, and they said the car does not have 400hp+ and that Tada's comment was taken out of context.

As I suspected honestly...

That being said, could still be above 350, even though I think that's still the number it's making.

^I don't really like them. Maybe it will look better once the camo comes off of the car.

On another note, a link below to the private Supra Owner's Club event with Tada san and the A90. for those that want to take a look.
