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!

Im sure someone will have a TT kit for it not long after they release it

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

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.

Let that piece of work try it against my GTR. but looks sexxxy. thumbs up for the toyota engineers, you finaly got out of the box and designed a deserving car.

front looks like a db9/ferrari (maybe its the red colour) rear looks like a jap car -(best feature of the car imo).

think lexus guys design the front and toyota designers went about at the rear.

never like the supra but this one might convert me :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?
