    Porsche Panamera Officially Unveiled in Shanghai

    Re: Porsche Panamera Officially Unveiled in Shanghai Saw one on the road the other day. The rear looks quite purposeful and very Porsche like but with more muscular lines vs the more svelte lines of a regular 911. Rear 3 quarters wasn't so hot, but looks quite good still. Didn't manage...

    New NSX ?

    Re: New NSX ? OT to Breyton: there's a difference between a loss-making car company vs a car sold at a loss. FWIW, if this is Toyota's thinking, then there's something miscalculated. ps if they are going to make people pay US$500k for the car, I sure hope they removed the Toyota Motor...

    New NSX ?

    Re: New NSX ? While I am not a fan of the 599 looks, it does seem that the Lexus will just about match it in performance stakes but be priced higher.

    New NSX ?

    Re: New NSX ? In most companies, NRE (non recurring expenses) such as R&D are NEVER taken into consideration when considering product margins. Ditto with opening up new plants or factories. It's the cost of goods that determines profit/loss on a product line. Otherwise, it's just as easy...

    New NSX ?

    Re: New NSX ? So we are working on incorporating capital costs into the equation now? For the Bugatti, a lot of the stuff were actually handcrafted, so it's not just R&D.

    New NSX ?

    Re: New NSX ? Limited production run. And even at 300k pounds, Lexus claims they are still losing money. Somehow I don't quite buy that ;) The Bugatti, I can believe...

    R8 gets booosted

    Re: R8 gets booosted Saw a V10 R8 on Old Jurong Road/Bukit Batok Ave 6 turning into Hillview. Saw it in the rear mirror and first impressions was that this R8 was wider/more squat than I remembered. Only when he made the turn did I notice the oval single pipes on each side vs quad circular...

    Lexus LF-A unveiling as we speak (post)

    Re: Lexus LF-A unveiling as we speak (post) That customizable LED/LCD display next to the tachometer is PURE GENIUS. I think Ferrari and Audi already build something like that, but they don't look as seamlessly integrated.

    Audi R4 babeeeeeee

    Re: Audi R4 babeeeeeee Cayman/Boxster are 6 cylinder midengines derived from the 911. Porsche's clone of this model could potentially be limited to 4/5 cylinders, which would slot in below the Boxster range. Since this Audi shares its base with the VW BlueMotion concept sportster, it...

    Toyota FT86 II Concept - USDM Scion FR-S *last page* *Super Image intensive*

    Re: AE86 successor - FT-86!!! That's probably a test mule testing the drive train. Very early R35 mules were using the Infinity/Skyline coupes as a cover to hide the drive train even though the final design looked nothing like them.
