That I definitely don't disagree on.

2018-07-12 21:02:39 UTC  

I mean they made the LFA 8 years ago.

2018-07-12 21:03:48 UTC  

I want this car to somehow still end up being really good, but I don't feel like modern BMW has much positive to contribute to it.

2018-07-12 21:04:06 UTC  

At least if you saw this Goodwood footage it sounds good, and it looks physically small.

2018-07-12 21:07:01 UTC  

Slap a straight 6 into an 86, like the first gen Supra.

2018-07-12 21:08:17 UTC  

I don't think the gt86 needs that, the gt86 just needs a turbo

2018-07-12 21:08:27 UTC  

and besides the gt86 is a subaru really

2018-07-12 21:08:56 UTC  

again, toyota seem to have lost the plot for in house development

2018-07-12 21:08:57 UTC  

I just think the whole thing with all the outsourcing is really weird, considering they make the extremely good Lexus engines and platforms fully in house, but yeah the 86 is its own thing.

2018-07-12 21:09:00 UTC  

The 86 body was developed by Toyota, with Subaru supplying the engine

2018-07-12 21:09:24 UTC  

Subaru manufactures the whole thing though.

2018-07-12 21:09:41 UTC  

because apparently toyota can't design a good engine?

2018-07-12 21:09:46 UTC  

I didn't say it was simple 😂

2018-07-12 21:09:47 UTC  

I mean it's very weird

2018-07-12 21:10:17 UTC  

"We'll design it, you build it and put your powerplant in"

2018-07-12 21:10:21 UTC  

They got the direct injection for the engine from Toyota, but Toyota isn't actually building any of them.

2018-07-12 21:10:21 UTC  

toyota are like the car production powerhouse of the world but they seem to have just decided making boring shitboxes is the best thing for them

2018-07-12 21:10:55 UTC  

why is my discord fucking up

2018-07-12 21:11:01 UTC  

Discord is fucking the dog right now

2018-07-12 21:11:04 UTC  

Has been all day

2018-07-12 21:11:22 UTC  

Oh good as long as there's not something wonky with my router

2018-07-12 21:11:30 UTC  

Having to re-send everything makes it harder to have this conversation.

2018-07-12 21:11:58 UTC  

Don't resend, just let it update

2018-07-12 21:14:56 UTC  

The level of teasing is really ridiculous at this point too, this thing is supposed to be on sale within like a year, what's left to hide about the design?

2018-07-12 21:16:53 UTC  

Toyota is probably embarrassed that they forgot to get rid of the kidney bean grill, and just replaced the BMW badge with their own.

2018-07-12 21:18:13 UTC  

lol

2018-07-12 22:39:27 UTC  

Considering LaFerrari is a few years old now, and the last one was built last year, is it time to start speculating about what's next?

2018-07-12 23:05:52 UTC  

I'm guessing it will be another Ferrari.

2018-07-12 23:18:05 UTC  

something with a prancing horse badge?

2018-07-13 01:42:05 UTC  

A bit late

2018-07-13 01:43:05 UTC  

Deleted. Got my manufacturers mixed up

2018-07-13 01:43:23 UTC  

Maybe the GT86 needs a turbo. Frankly I think it more needs a supercharger.

2018-07-13 01:44:01 UTC  

I'm so used to arguing against the BRZ getting a turbo, since that would just make it a two door WRX, and if people want that then Subaru should just remove two doors from the WRX

2018-07-13 01:44:19 UTC  

The 86? That I could see with some form of forced induction.

2018-07-13 01:44:40 UTC  

I do think all the BRZ needs is an uplevel version with a high revving 2.5L.

2018-07-13 01:45:07 UTC  

250-260hp 2.5L boxer 4, 7k to 8k RPMs plz.

2018-07-13 01:45:30 UTC  

But *Supra* trim with 6cyl

2018-07-13 01:47:40 UTC  

I'm not sure an inline 6 would fit.
