If that's for real, it raises the bar for the next GT-R.

I think those concept pictures have been around for a while - DCD will probably know more.

I hope the production model will look like that - very, very nice!

The front end kinda reminds me of an aston martin though...

looks like an Aston from the back and a BMW Z4 from the side. Not sure about the front but it is nice.

I was wondering if this is a new concept picture (other than the red and black ones featured in mags and a few others), but from that description, I bet it is a black one with a front, rear and side profile, and the front looking rubbish, and the rear and side profiles looking nice.

Am I right?

I have to sign up to access the pic.

Yes I haven't signed up to the page either, but I think that is the one it will be LSR.

If it is, it's an old photo and I hate the front. I still wonder what engine they're going to use though, can't see it being a V6 at all.

LSR · 24th September 2003, 04:20 PM

Can't seeing it being an I6 TT, though. Naturally aspirated V8 maybe?

It's the most likely option, and they already have a nice V8.

can some one post the pictures??? im not a member.

AFAIK - all will be revealed at the Tokyo show this year....Toyota were waiting for the F1 team to do well...

Anyway - hopes of a high revving F1 immitating V10 are pretty unlikely as, apart from in F1, V10's are not the things to use. Can't remember why - I'll look it up if needs be.

So a version of their V8 is on the cards. The current JGTC racer has a 5.2L NA. I would expect more than the Lexus 4.3 but less than 5L's of displacement.
