Who else on Veeky Forums is excited for the release of the Toyota S-FR? Toyota genuinely looks set to release it and I'm fucking excited, and will definitely be getting my hands on one as my first new car
So far the specs are: Overall Length - 3,990 mm Overall Width - 1,695 mm Overall Height - 1,320 mm Wheelbase - 2,480 mm 128bhp 109 ft/lb torque 980kg Six-speed manual tranny
This is basically going to be a prettier, more modern cappuccino, and may be the first ever car Veeky Forums can all agree on liking
>Sub 2200 car that is smaller than a Miata >You can stop being retarded now
Chase Harris
2160.5 lbs
Grayson Rivera
Extremely light. At this size and weight, this car is going to be a go kart, and 128hp for a (rumored) 1.5l engine is pretty cool
Henry Myers
The rear on that trim is sorta ugly it's priced around 10k usd in japan, if the race trim has anything more than a body kit and at 15k then I would buy it
Aiden Russell
I've read around 12k so far, in Australia I think this will end up being around 17k, and for the amount of fun you will get out of this car I think that's a bargain
Joshua Gray
How readily will this take the engine from something like a litre bike?
Mason Price
Hopefully it will take Hyabusa engines easier than a fucking LS Pushrods in this car would be sacrilege REEEEEEE
Adam Richardson
Why would you do that for what, like 30 more horsepower?
Evan Morales
>less displacement >less torquey bike motor where all the power is up top >around the same horsepower
Why the fuck would you downgrade??? Stupid fucking millenials.
Jeremiah Thomas
Anyone know if this will hit the US market?
Cameron Richardson
Is it coming to the US? If not don't care all i know that is for japan only so far
Brayden Thomas
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Gabriel Green
>and 128hp for a (rumored) 1.5l engine is pretty cool But Mazda already does that for the 1.5L Miata
Grayson Bell
I know, but I mean combined with this car itself. Going to be an absolutely awesome little go kart
Jack Howard
Where did you read about the aussie price m8?
Isaiah Sanchez
>Toyota genuinely looks set to release it and I'm fucking excited
source?
Hudson Wood
>the us literally can't get any cheap proper fun cars do to >soccer mom safety >no one else in the world cares emissions
wtf
Samuel Jenkins
Seconded, need source so I can justify this premature boner
Camden Cox
I'll see what I can find but I'm not sure. I'm sure this won't be a RHD only affair, it's aiming to compete directly with the Miata so to me that makes me think it will hit US shores, where the mx5 is fairly popular
Dylan Harris
> Veeky Forums actually believes this car will find its way on murrican or europoor streets and will pass all those safety regulations
I guess you guys also believe in santa claus and unicorns
Carter Morris
Im ready, we need more "miata killers"
Jaxson Moore
Give me a moment lads
Zachary Murphy
>it will hit US shores, where the mx5 is fairly popular
speedhunters.com/2016/01/gazoo-racing-toyota-s-fr-racing-concept/ >But seeing that Toyota’s Gazoo Racing arm has gone to great lengths in creating this2016 Tokyo Auto Salonshowpiece, it’s fair to assume that this carwillhappen. Well, at least astreet car version, most likelypowered bya direct injected variantof the 1.5L Corolla motor, anyway.
Robert Allen

Angel Butler
It looks like something a faggot would buy after trashing his S2000 in a ditch.
Asians can't drive. They also can't design cars worth a shit.
Anthony Ross
that race concept sfr would be a fucking great track car, not to mention the ANGRY FACE
combine that with the new supra and toyota is back to the enthusiast world baby
Nathaniel Richardson
>This is literally the corvette attempting to keep up with the S-FR
Chase Wright
>GM fags are literally already in damage control and they havent even been cucked by the S-FR yet KEK!!
Juan Young
Aside from the rear end, I think that concept is awesome. if it really comes to fruition Toyota will be straight back to the top for car enthusiasts
James Rogers
>Even slower than the toyobaru >Even less power than the Miata nnnnnnope
Jaxon Rivera
>Same power as 1.5 Miata (2016) >30kg (15 pounds) lighter Yyyyyep
Caleb Taylor
how am I going to fit my yellow number plate on this S FR
Robert Reyes
>Barely lighter than a corolla >same price as a used corolla
it's like taking the rear seats out of a corolla but RWD
might as well buy an AE86 and swap that to break 130hp
because it's a cheap shitbox aka "tuner car" for why not projects
Gavin Bennett
Because there are literally a thousand better motors to swap in, k swap, aba swap, 1.8t, vr6 etc
Nathan Jones
You're not going to win any races unless you race within the shitbox class
might as well go for the novelty
Asher Ward
learn it you lazy burger
Oliver Bell
>races lol I don't race, I have fun fur myself. (Or anybody that wants to get in the passenger seat)
Zachary Phillips
1. this car is not coming to the US 2. it'll probably be a japan-exclusive
Asher Clark
Sounds like what someone swapping in a bike engine would say
Aaron Gomez
I want one buy I financed a scion in 2014
Matthew Ortiz
>putting a shittier engine into a car >actually wasting money and time to do so I bet you also stance
Nathaniel Nelson
Looks cool but I doubt its coming to the US
Wyatt Butler
>doing anything but modifying a car for superior track performance >"having fun for yourself" >not being barely a half rung above stance on the ladder of worthwhile uses of time
oh wait you're a stancefag
go kill yourself with a zip tied spring fogt
Nicholas Morgan
>0.00L engine >87whp
>first ever car Veeky Forums can all agree on liking
Have my d/o/ubts famalam Drop an LS in there maybe.
Levi Long
I thought they were just showing it as a joke
Caleb Hernandez
Aren't those almost the same specs as the first gen Miata? Give me that same car with an engine from the 86/BRZ, and I'm interested.
Charles Long
> 128hp for 1.5L is pretty cool not really, that's econobox tier but i can't complain, it should be fun anyway
Adam Adams
someone make this thing look like kirby
Samuel James
reduction gear my retarded little furry friend
Juan James
Why bring this up? nothing has been mentioned about it in over a year about it. It will probably end up like the IDX
Luis Peterson
I doubt it'll pass Japanese safety regs.
James Barnes
...
Cameron Davis
Yeah, that's not a good car for front plates...
Oliver Miller
>if you're not racing officially you're wasting your time and money Lol Saved that pic too ty
Jose Butler
disgusting
>tfw pa doesnt have front plates
Juan Ramirez
Very similar, a bit lighter and a lot cheaper I'm interested to see a race series come out of these cars as well
Daniel Wright
Just from the driver.
Owen Gomez
I'm excited as fuck for this car but I agree with you completely. I've had my hopes dashed before with Honda s660 and I'm not gonna make that mistake again
Jose Rivera
I AM EXCITED ABOUT TOYOTA MARKETING WHO ELSE LOVES TOYOTA MARKETING CONTRACTOR SOCIAL MEDIA BRANCH?
HOW ABOUT A FREE BUMP COME ON HELP[ A SHILL OUT
Ethan Wright
>thinking aussie prices are reflective of global prices.
If it's 17k Japanese then it will be half that ontop, so 25k Australian at the least.
Samuel Rodriguez
...
Angel Sanders
Its the ultimate mememobile.
Oliver Baker
like 60 more horsepower and a lot lighter, plus sequential transmission.
Jaxon Hall
and is designed for a third of the load >but wow i get to press a button to change gears XD
Jeremiah Carter
>prettier than a Cappuccino Good one OP
Kevin Murphy
Why are you pretending it wouldn't be fun to get a 50% power bump while also reducing mass?
Oliver Powell
Simplest option would just be to run 10 pounds of boost and hope it doesn't blow up. If it does, then the swap happens.
Seriously shouldn't be an issue to get 170-200 wheel horsepower out of that engine with boost.
Nolan Perry
my god is it finally fucking happening. Toyota got this car SO FUCKING RIGHT. I want it now!
Daniel Diaz
>so fucking right >128bhp >probably means 100 or less to the wheels
Jeremiah Bailey
Yeah man, should be no problem to just double the power on a 13:1 CR engine on a car that isn't even going to exist anyway, just need a turbo and a simple tune
Ryder Davis
Anyone have an actual source saying this is going into production? The Tokyo motor show was last year and there's been no real updates since. This concept is dead, unfortunately. I was really hoping to pick one up.
Jacob Lopez
imagine ls swapping this fucking thing
that would be SUICIDE
Bentley Cooper
These articles are old cuz. I think you just found out about it and are experiencing the hype we've all already experienced.
Angel Taylor
Rekt.
Charles Wilson
TL: It won't be coming here.
Chase Gray
It's 12k Japanese, so would be closer to 18k Australian
Jack Sanders
it would look awesome with first gen mememiata flip lights and stylistics
Tyler Morgan
3angry
Brody Taylor
Please come to Canada with a sub $18k price tag.
Noah Powell
2018 you can just import a brand new one from Japan. Might be good news will stop potential gouging, otherwise this car will start mid to high 20's
Daniel Cooper
Yeah, that's the same Miata that they don't sell in the US because it doesn't have enough power.
Samuel Johnson
>I'm going to compare this 1.5 engine to the 1.5 out of the Miata >Now that I've been ctfu, I'm going to move goal posts
Julian Ramirez
why is toyota emplyoing retards? i literally fixed the car in 3 mins
Parker Phillips
Kill yourself
Robert Green
"A fun, compact sports car that is smaller and lighter than a Miata, that Americans will never get to drive."
Aaron Williams
if they'd sell it for under 20k, it would be a viable option for a commuter car for me.
Joseph Scott
>less than 110lb ft Even if this was a naked bike it would be slower than an SUV
I really don't understand the hype. It's going to accelerate slower than a minivan.
Ryder Bell
its slower than a sohc d17a2 with less torque
Ian Nguyen
it would look better with full circle headlights like a twingo. actually... someone twingo shop this.
Jose Gutierrez
>comparing things to SUVs
well done, you've earned a burger.
Eli Brooks
>muh acceleration
John Martinez
>128bhp
Anthony Wood
100hp for the price of a 400hp foxbody? no thanks
Robert Morgan
>muh cornering >muh lightness tell me about your record lap times and all the fun you can have with a 128bhp piece of shit.damn,even my diesel e46 is like a lot faster.
Levi Murphy
>128hp 1.5L(rumored)
If this shit comes out here better prepare for an engine swap. I think a BEAMS would be suitable
