Have Toyota got so far out of touch with developing sports cars that they need a more experienced manufacturer to hold their hand these days?
@ComJive Those days of manufacturers being competitive 'to prove they were the best' has long gone unfortunately.
There should be a rule set by the FIA that to use a manufacturers name, the car must be built inside the manufacturers plant by a team of engineers who have x number of years experience designing road cars. Modern race teams have no soul.
@Matt Burgess Current production engine!
That would be amazing but given the effort to rework it into a 2L N/A (which I don't recall Nissan having a good one) or a 1.6T makes running a 1.6T Juke a much more sensible option.
Cramming a R35 into the small engine restrictions of the FIA rules would probably ruin the car as a whole and leave it uncompetitive.
The world needs more snow / ice hill climbs
@speedhunters_dino That's awesome. Still, surely its life could be prolonged by not having it drag along the floor.
That Skyline must get through a few tow rings.
Are daft shoes a prerequisite of a feature?
Three Golfs, Four Civics and no Volvo 850 T5-R. What's the world coming to?
@Larry Chen @JDMized He certainly doesn't sound like a Yorkshireman anymore.
@Tim Walsh @Other Will @GraysonParker
One point contact is all you need isnt it? So long as it's a front wheel you can still brake and steer.
@GraysonParker You just ruined that picture for me. I skimmed over it and thought it was 0 wheeling.
I thought the general consensus on this was Subaru put a turbo on, Toyota put a supercharger on.
What happened to Peter Stevens? He sort of vanished after MG Rover went down the pan.
Cue KERS kicked in yo! memes.
Is it just me or does the wheelbase on the new beetle seem to be shorter than the wheelbase of the body?
Forgive my lack of understanding of the modern automobile but that black hose attached before the blower, what is it for? I know I'm going to kick myself when I find out but I really cant work it out.
Great shots Sean, I really need to get my camera back out.
Owners of Lotus. Never really a popular car manufacturer in Britain.
