I'm no fan of huge rims and lowering cars, but the RC F looks wrong with those giant fenders and small wheels.

I actually don't mind it that much, because

DAT.
ASS.

Might look more proportional if the car was black. Or at least darker.

That's an LFA right?

Hmmm - still doesn't look bad to me, but then seeing one in the metal might do otherwise. Not as familiar with this car as you - they must offer an upgraded wheel, non?

IIRC, ther is a proper term for that. Dead cat space.

I could see it sporting massive-er wheels.

Accord Coupe

Pretty sure it's a Lambo, dude.

Its actually the new Solara.

It might be a Fiero with some kind of body kit.

Nah, I heard from a guy I know that it's the new Lancer SportCoupe.

I see your point. Looks like 19 inch standard wheels ... now to check the options list. Oh wait - no configurator yet. And that horrific grill concerns me more than anything.

I actually think it could be the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe, it looks RWD.

This car looks like it was designed by 5 different people who didn't know they were working together.

Once again, I have to correct all of you - that is clearly the test mule for the 2016 Scion BRZ² AWD coupe. It has a transverse 1.2 liter inline six, 5 seats, 4 turbos, 3 radiators, and 2 times the horsepower (at the wheels) of a stock '97 Toyota Supra. VW will supply the cloth seats - checkered, of course.

I was onboard until you said checkered seats. TURBO print seats or GTFO

Steve in Manhattan > Tohru 11/01/2014 at 21:22

Well 4 turbos, so 4/5 seats have the imprint. The fifth - middle back, is checkered. Problem solved. Did I mention the ceramic brakes that cost more than the base price of the car? Of course there are!

Tohru > Steve in Manhattan 11/01/2014 at 21:26

The ceramic brakes are only for the STi-G version, which has wheels made of graphene and carbon nanotube sport suspension.

So we have a 2016 Scion BRZ² AWD coupe - STi-G spec - graphene wheels, and the carbon suspension. If that's the car so far, it has to have Pirelli tires made only for that car, only for THAT SPEC, and they must be filled with nitrogen. Each engine is hand built so it has a slightly different BHP to the next one. There is a plaque signed by the engine builder, in English and Japanese. The car is speed-governed to 155 MPH, but the GPS knows when you're at a track and releases all the HP so you can drive the car at its top speed, which is 161 MPH. The power is delivered to all the wheels through, of course, a 9 speed manual gearbox or a flappy paddle box with 14 speeds. The twin limited slip diffs are optional.

You forgot the magnetorheological hydraulic power steering that progressively adds force to your inputs depending on speed. Oh wait, that might actually be a good idea.

Considering where it's testing, it might be the STi-G Nür version. That one is rumored to have titanium-bladed turbos that are both oil- and water-cooled, boron steel crossmembers front and rear to bring the center of gravity down, carbon nanotube driveshafts front and rear, high and low range for the center diff, Recaro seats at all seating positions, and electrochromatic paint that you can adjust inside the car.

The biggest features are linked to the new "Track Mode" option on the in-dash entertainment touchscreen. It monitors everything: Oil pressure and temperature, coolant pressure and temperature, tire pressure and temperature, rectal pressure and temperature, exhaust gas temperatures pre- and post-turbo as well as post-catalytic converter, driver exhaust gas temperature, engine and driver intake air temperature, G-forces for cornering and straight-line, and washer fluid levels. The Track Mode also activates the two performance systems in the car: the first intentionally misfires the engine to keep the turbos spooled, the second routes the blow-off valves into the AC ductwork to eliminate parasitic drag from the AC compressor.

Fully-calibrated factory engineers stated that when tested on the butt dyno it has at least 100 more horsepower than the standard STi-G, and that it should be able to do an under-7 minute 'Ring time without a problem.

Well that goes without mention - and that power steering rack is not only hydraulic, it can be switched to electric for less feel on the curves (if ya know what I mean) ... Porsche was obviously involved with the development of this car. The rack was developed by Aisin, which means it is 'a sin' against anyone who likes to drive, and steer, a car.

Kept it together until washer fluid level monitoring. Fucking lost it at blow-off valve supplemented AC.

I understand you can navigate to a menu (but difficult) that measures sphincter tightness.

Tohru > Steve in Manhattan 11/02/2014 at 00:21

An unnamed source has leaked that the sphincter tightness setting can be linked to the braking system.
