One solution, maybe, to the “safest car” conundrum is to split their performance cars off to their own brand. A stupid solution to a non-problem, really, but yea.

Not disagreeing with you, but it looks like the Supra will be sharing engines with the Z4 as well. And I have a feeling they’ll be of BMW design. A prospective Supra buyer should hope that Toyota’s reliability fairy dust has been spread around liberally.

Too many people are speeding and dying in car crashes. I hope they turn the Great Eye toward racing games as well, get rid of that scourge.

Eh scratch that, I just read that VP of M stated the M2 is likely to be the only M car with manual in near future.

The M3/4 are currently available with a manual. There is no confirmation of the next gen losing it, though it has been warned.

Or just get the Z4 instead, which will almost certainly have a manual.

Yea, rich people are smart, and don’t waste precious milliseconds and calories playing with shift levers.

Most likely, yes. They would run a background check, see your Kinja ID and escort you from the premises.

Huh, didn’t know that. Maybe they should have considered “Gaze Racing.”

I don’t know man, I thought it was pretty dark. Do with it as you please, lol

Yea that sounds about right. I thought it was maximum sick, except the nose. 500hp AWD. And I adore those wheels.

I also see Z4 GT3 all over it. I suppose this makes sense since it is akin to a BMW Z.

This Celica Concept was the first Toyota, to my knowledge, to sport a sort of nose feature like this. Whether there was any relation or not, the “nose” sticking out of the middle of the car eventually became pretty common Toyota design feature. The FT1 Concept and now Supra seem to have really taken it and run, for…

Not a hard puzzle to solve:

What’s with Toyota and the weird pointy nose things?

Cool Mitsubishi Lancer with a $10,000 badge on the grille.

Ok, let me forward this helpful article to a certain woman that I know who may benefit from it. Oh, wait...

This is amazing. The anti-Furious. But as others have noted, such a light and sure shift effort is pretty rare. (I love light, smooth shifters.)

Years ago, I also got to a point where I grew weary of grip driving and racing and took to drifting for a while as a new and exciting outlet. It is definitely valuable as a driving skill building endeavor. It’s like an athlete doing cross-training to shake things up.
