Call me nuts, but I really hope Lexus gets on the ball and produces this thing.......:dro:

 

[Dana_15]

Nice car, but really pricey!

Two things...would be cool if all that power came from an advanced hybrid powerplant of some kind, and if the production model displays the over-the-top aggressive and futuristic looks of the last concept.

No 4WD no care, how are they going to put all that power to the ground .

Hybrid is a hoax and proper sports car shouldn't have it, let alone supercar.

110% correct.

Proper sportscar:

1. Manual transmission
2. RWD
3. lightweight
4. two-seater only
5. sharp drift angles
6. thrilling exhaust note
7. business-ready instrument panel
8. etc

9. mid-engined

9. mid-engined

Vette? GTR? Aston Martins?

This is almost the car equivalent of Duke Nukem Forever (a PC game in the making since 1998.....and its still not out yet still).

They'd better release the damn car soon or its gonna look dated (it has a very nice shape IMO but i dont think the concept can stand the test of time, it needs creases to break up the curves and blobs)

I can understand wanting to be cautious.....but DAMN!

GTR is AWD, wouldn't make the cut. I am also unsure about its instrument panel, whether or not it is business ready. And it certainly isn't lightweight.

 

[void.crusader]

To me, if a car is competitive on a track within a certain class, without excessive modifications, it can be considered sports car in stock form.

How they did this, with AWD or mid-engine, lightweight or not - I don't care.

and that makes the GTR NOT a sports car??

I wasn't being seroius, just appeasing PMC the 1st.

The GTR is definitely a proper sportscar. Why? Because its fast in a straight line, fast around a track and fun to drive. Screw all those other worthless qualifications!
