Default The Toyota FT-1 Would Have 485 Horsepower If It Were Real


Toyota dropped a surprise bombshell on us with the stunning FT-1 Concept at Detroit this week, but what they didn't give us were any specs on the car. Luckily, we have Gran Turismo 6 to take care of that for us. P

Because they said the FT-1 is just a design study and is therefore not a "real" car, Toyota didn't say how much power the car has, how much it weighs or even what kind of engine is under its hood. I even prodded the designers on what motor they imagined it could have and they stayed silent. P

But since you can drive it right now in Gran Turismo 6, it has actual specs in the virtual world: a curb weight of 2,910 pounds (1,320 kilograms) and 485 horsepower, which apparently gets bumped to 518 horsepower after an oil change. These stats were uncovered by a few users over at the GT Planet forums. P

Didn't you know how oil changes add 30 horsepower in real life? It's why I get that done three times a week. 12P

I'm not sure if GT6 lists the engine type for the FT-1, but a few GT Planet users say it sounds like an inline six. Has anyone else driven the FT-1 in the game? What did you think?

"BMW is not involved in the new Supra" but "Toyota is involved in the development of the all-new BMW Z4."
Now that's cool. Wonder what Toyota has a hand in. Either way this Z4 should handle like a dream since both BMW and Toyota are involved

Does anyone think they will use a turbo 2GR-FSE for the new Supra?

How much will that motor make with turbos?

Personally with news of TTV6 and TTV8 for Lexus I doubt they will share much, if anything with the 2GR-FSE. I think it'll be a newly develped powertrain, but who knows. Just glad they're coming out with the FT-1/Supra

Lexus is getting a new V6 TT and V8 TT? I didn't know that. Is there a link? Anymore details?

They work together with those car companies. I remember they also got Corvette C7 prototype and production C7 after it debuted.

That motor NA can make 300HP on Premium 93 easy. I don't know about Twin Turbo it though. I would guess at the least 50% more.

So expect 450HP to be standard, if they do make TT 2GR

There's no link, I reported this in several threads the past three months (I can't remember which - but I'll link them when I find them ). The report is from a LPC member who said and I quote "A new Twin Turbo V6 and V8 are currently being develped. Expect them to be the most powerful and efficient vs the competition".

Yeah, I was also thinking that with the same motor together with elonged 86 platform

1/ NA Supra to be 45k, around 300 HP

2/ TT Supra to add 10-15k on top = 55-60k for 450HP. They will keep this relatively competitive against the C7 as they did before. They will not, and can not afford to repeat the same mistake as they did with MKIV
