Potential V8 Twin Turbo coming?
im watching this and thinking there's no way they wont move this engine from the LF-R to the LC and create an LC-F model. Makes no sense to make another 1 off engine similar to the LFA.

This new drivetrain is really surprising to me though. We are near end of life cycle for big gas burning V8s and here is Toyota developing a brand new one with what sounds like hybrid assist AND a new DCT gearbox which will feature in a very small number of car models for probably a relatively short period of time. Very unexpected, I honestly did not expect this from them

This gives us a pretty good clue of where they’re going for a halo performance car, and unfortunately it’s all electric
