I've seen that but I would not personally trust it for 2 reasons.

1. Reliability in terms of the R&D plus quality control as stock Toyota parts have.

2. Tech support/replacement parts will be gone when the producer goes belly up.

God help you if it breaks hundreds or thousands of miles from home. No mechanic will even attempt to repair it and DIY is kind of hard in the field.

Really depends on your interpretation of "modern". A pure driver's car would be a wonderfully modern interpretation of the SC. No radio, no climate control, no roof, no back seat, fixed windows speedster style, chopped windscreen, 2 heated/cooled very supportive seats, analog gauges, a twin turbo v12 mated to a 6 speed manual, lots of carbon fiber to lighten things up, an aggressive light weight wheel setup, and a suspension with 2 settings - track & girlfriend. That's it. Nothing fancy, no distractions, begs to be driven hard and demands your utmost respect...modern via simplicity.

Awesome ideas, keep em coming. Personally i have always felt that the SC should be an actual two seater. so a two seater design would be my next thing. also magnetic ride and an entertainment system similar to BMW's i drive. Oh and one more thing a HUD that provides diagnostic info for the vehicle.

Yes I'm using Centrafuse with Windows 7. Do you mean it has an app for Centrafuse?
