December 2, 201114 yr comment_569279 it states in that info that it is the only horizontally opposed engine with rear wheel drive in the world,................. they must not recognise porsche as a car... Report
December 2, 201114 yr Author comment_569305 As far as I know the motor is straight out of the Subaru factory, so Subby do the mechanicas and Toyota do the body. So... will it turbo like the WRX from the Impreza? Report
December 2, 201114 yr comment_569338 I like it. <snipe> I'll be buying one. :poke: And this is from the man that hates boxer motors Report
December 2, 201114 yr comment_569339 Getting back to it. I won't be getting one, its a toyota which'll mean it'll be an over-priced bucket of bland metal. And i'll still have the same thoughts cause it'll have been thrashed by its drifto want-a-be owner. Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569373 Meh, I'm going to get one when it's a year old... not worth the new asking price but should be the most fun offered up by Toyota in a long time! Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569374 I'm seriously thinking about buying a ~1990 MX5......with a small modification to the gearbox input shaft...a rotary bolts to their gearbox. The most fun you can have for 5k drive away... Piss the rotary off though you'll spend more time fixing the thing An MX5 with a 13B PP has been on my dream list for a long time now, however since 'reliability', 'fuel economy' & 'rotary engine' never go positively together in the same sentence, it will remain on the dream list I'm afraid. :( If there's one that comes out looking like the one in 7shades posted photo, I'd seriously contemplate acquiring one! :yes: it states in that info that it is the only horizontally opposed engine with rear wheel drive in the world,................. they must not recognise porsche as a car... Maybe they meant 'only front engined, rear drive car with a horizontally opposed engine in the world'? :) Now that Toyota has shown signs of a pulse again, time to bring back the Supra to combat the Neesan GTR. :wink: Edited December 3, 201114 yr by carbonboy Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569381 Neee-sarn has been sitting patiently on S16 concepts for a while now... You'd better believe they'll be watching this one very closely Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569388 Sounds like fun but it does look pretty ugly especially from behind.. id tap my wagon over this anyday Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569398 Getting back to it. I won't be getting one, its a toyota which'll mean it'll be an over-priced bucket of bland metal. Amen Brother! Report
December 3, 201114 yr comment_569403 it states in that info that it is the only horizontally opposed engine with rear wheel drive in the world,................. they must not recognise porsche as a car... Don't you mean a VW beetle with a spoiler ? Report

Seeing as you boys require a history lesson. Back when the Dwarf was a lad, the 1930 Tatra T54 had a flat four and rear drive, as did the 1937 Jowett Ten. Not an new idea then. :P Report
