That engine cover looks a lot like it is sitting on top of a V6.

I agree on the cover, but the very long nose hints for an inline 6 too. Anyway, your idea is not wrong, there's rumors about these new BMW engines, one of then being a triple-turbo V6 (a shame imho, BMWs should use inline 6 forever)
 
Is there a reason all the tracks in the video are 'Murican?
 
Pretty exciting stuff, everyone was expecting a Supra replacer but this is pretty nice as well.
 
Great! Now put the seasonal on Autumn Ring and I'll be a happy camper. :D

I'd take a guess of it being at Fuji with the short story that was told about Akio Toyoda testing the virtual version at Fuji, and the guy giving the press conference going on to say that everyone would be able to do the same.

Sounds good to me, GT6 needs more Fuji Speedway events.

Probably because it's debuted at the North American International Auto Show.

I actually thought this was from the Tokyo Auto Salon :dunce:

isn't the seasonal on Laguna Seca?
 
Those skinny little tires, I'm predicting a lot of going sideways.
 
Looks like Toyota's own spin from their luxury sister's car, the LFA; that interior is just sex~ Cannot. Wait.

Not to mention that 1.03 is right around the corner, the valve controlling my excitement pumps is gonna break.

In my mates bmw 335d they have to turbos a small one for no lag as the revs increase the bigger one takes over. With that concept 3 turbos will make fantastic torque brilliants power with zero lag. Mmmmmm

Now that I read the article more carefully, it is.
 
So... The 1.03 update comes tomorrow? I hope they finally unlock the remaining Red Bull events along with the Toyota FT1 then. And hopefully some bug fixes!
 
Looks decent. But I still can't wait to drive it!
 
I wonder how the production version will look like. I guess the new supra (?) will be a complete different car (think of FT86/GT86 transformation over the years).
 
Awesome. I wonder which will be faster, this or the new c7 ZO7

The current M550d already have the triple turbo layout. It's awesome, even being a diesel.

That looks fast. Gotta love PD's little surprises. Anything else coming tomorrow?

Hope they're still working on a Supra replacer because this just looks too radical to be the next Supra, IMO.

This oddly reminds me of the LaFerrari. :lol:
 
I dunno, but this thing gives me a want level that is unbearable.
