toyota FT-1 concept (possibly next Supra)

kenchan

and run ugly sunken wheels like their lexus SC and sedan tires. lol

forza370z

Is it just me? The FT-1's profile just look like the 370z. Almost identical. Then the front looks like Enzo. The real looks like LFA. Lol.

Jordo!

I see elements of that (really, classic sports car lines) and also of F1-esque exotics. The rear deck is very last gen Supra, and you can definitely see styling cues from the FT-HS concept from a few years ago.

I expect some the areo will be lost in translation -- but that's okay. This belongs in the Z range of price, not the GT-R.

Hell, the LF-A doesn't exactly run rings around the GT-R, and it costs 5 times as much.

I'm hoping Toyota will keep this as a Nissan Z fighter -- and I for one would certainly strongly consider it as an alternative.

And as a bonus

I don't think we have a chance of this car being in the Z range. Inflation puts the 98 Supra cost close to 70k currently. That is if I remember correctly and they were around 50k for the TT version.

My guess is 80-90k.

I beg to differ sir, I just got a barn find oem turbo supra that runs and drives for I think it will be priced in the lower to mid 40s. Ask Andrew he still hates me for it.

To be fair, he was referencing the then-new MSRP of the 1998 Supra adjusted for inflation, which makes it a nearly $70k car in today's dollars. Not what a 16 year old used examples sells for. How could that be used to estimate the new model's MSRP?

Or did I miss the sarcasm font?

Z_ealot

well then if we're going to go by that example then the Z should be even more expensive seeing as the 300zx turbo was going for $50k before they stopped production, so by all accounts the 370 should be in the $100k ballpark going off inflation

Rockhound

Well, $50k in 1996 is approximately $72k adjusted to today's dollars, so using that logic the 370Z would be $70k, too, not sure where the $100k comes from.

Look, I didn't say it was an infallible method, I was just explaining his logic - this example happens to come with a significant currency valuation overprint as the yen reached a peak against the dollar in 1995. This is what really caused the low-volume Japanese car price hike in the mid-90s.

Otherwise, for domestic goods, car prices have been fairly well behaved, although they have risen slightly compared to inflation. For example, my dad purchased a new base Camaro in 1972 for about $3500, IIRC. In today's dollars that's about $19k. A base Camaro today stickers for $24 (invoice $22.6k) but you get a whole lot more car for the $3 to $5k increase.

So what, instead of working with Subaru they started working with Alfa Romeo?

forza370z

It's already in the GT6. This is how much it will cost probably. No a 370z price range, not a gtr price range. Not even close... It's similar to a LF-A. Lol
