emissions i believe.

those pics of the prototype have been around for a while (a year or two i think) and yeah its not happeneing, they will have the Lexus LF-A though, which i think is its flagship sports car, but should have alot of luxury aswell. should be on the hung for some upper class cars like the M3, porkas, and even astons... very nice lookin prototype though

looks hot as! any reason why car manufacturers have canned the TT in-line 6's for TT V6's and V8's?? hopefully they have a bit more enginebay room than the 300zx... just looking at my engine bay hurts!

They got rid of inline 6's for packaging, probably. Inline sixes need longer engine bays, and it pulls your centre of gravity further forward.

Having a longer crank (relative to a V engine) also means it has to be relatively strong, apparently, because of how the force is applied in it.

The reason why they got rid of those specific inline 6's (the JZ and the RB) is because of emissions. They are pretty old engines...even though inlines tend to sound better and be smoother than V's.

overall it looks like a great car but i must say, not too keen on the front grill, the back lights look like something from an s2000 or a mazda.

apart from that it looks great!

how heavy is it, and why the v8?

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
    • Would seem to me to be appropriate to go GTR style bar. There are options with and without N1 vent holes, with the GTR lower lip integral (because FG copy). https://justjap.com/search?q=r32 bumper
