>>29144932I want every weeb to acknowledge this car exists solely because the Lexus RCF GT3 was a very bad car based on an inherently unsporty and heavy architecture and Lexus have never ever made a car worth owning if you enjoy driving. LS and ES are comfy daily drivers the rest of the line up is just pure slop.
>>29144932>Aston Martin Vantage GT3, but JapaneseAt least pic related was cool.
>>29144947Also the LC500 and Supra are kill.
they have no gt4 car anymore
>>29144947>the Lexus RCF GT3 was a very bad carwas it? you'd think they wouldn't race it for 10 years if it was that bad
i like the rcf even if she's a fat bitchhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T__lNOqY86s
>>29145026I don't understand why they didn't reskin the lc and call it a supra like the original. why did they go with a McDonald's strutted bmw chassis lol such a stupid ass company
>>29145840Because the Supra was a part of a hydrogen powertrain R&D deal with BMW/Magny Steyr. The Supra's existence was not the primary goal.
>>29145157They didn’t have a platform to switch to. They also had no customers. Basically a Frankenstein car that couldn’t be worked on without the factory support
>>29145840Supra was free for Toyota. It was a no brainer opportunity
>>29145157>was it?Yes. The previous president of TRD said that taking it racing was a last-minute decision so the car ended up too heavy and very draggy. The RC was at one point built to have a convertible down the line that necessitated the extra structure and weight, but then the production convertible never materialized so it ended up with all that extra weight for no reason. > you'd think they wouldn't race it for 10 years if it was that badThey had nothing else and BoP helped keep it competitive. No real point in going through the FIA rigmarole.
>>29144956I love this fucker like you wouldn't believe
>>29148800Saw them in person at Fuji Speedway. First ever race I ever attended, they sounded amazing.
