I love Porsche as much as the next guy and I get it that these pics are of a more track focused car but I cant get past the size of the wing. Personal preference of course but I have always liked the clean look.

Dont know what that hell is BMW waiting to release this car 😞

Don't get greedy BMW please!

Won't be easy for the first 2-3 years. Even the base f87 was a pain to get the first year and that was before all the shortages

It's not a "more of a track focused car" it's completely track focused car that is street legal. If you watch the detailed reviews you get an idea. Its almost full carbon body, light glass, DRS system, no frunk at all, active aero everywhere.

For the cleaner look there is a 911 GTS

This will be the toughest BMW to obtain other than the one-offs (M5 CS, M4 CSL, etc). Lines will be crazy so expect year long waits.

So the m performance parts actually provide an aerodynamic advantage or is it all looks

Or…the more attainable (for my budget) 718 GTS 4.0.

I really think they added some angles to throw everyone off. But who knows many some MP bits will be added...

Maybe a very slight performance improvement but these are usually more for aesthetic purposes. I think BMW hinted in an interview that even the carbon roof on the F8X M3/M4 was more for aesthetics than anything. Yeah lower center of gravity this and that but nothing you can really feel. That's was essentially the gist of it.

Wish they would just show the frickin thing already

Gonna flop like the Supra trying to meet expectations with all this pointless build up hype

Even the wing m mirrors don't do anything lol

I'm getting the CF roof, unless it's crazy expensive. I still plan on lowering the car, not just for looks, but I like sitting as low as I can. As a bonus, lowering the car lowers its entire center of gravity, not just the roof.

Can someone just give us another decent leak from the Mexico plant 🤣 planned or not, I'm getting bored.

[hokejka]

How do we still not have a full car. Its been 6 months of teasing

I think supra is fine it just has zero visibility.. Wouldnt be surprised if this thing looks like a cheesy transformer designed by a 4yo… then again maybe im setting my expectations low so it doesnt hurt when its true

Agreed... Pity many will just sit in the garage though.

Agreed. Something feels strange. They had a private reveal at IMS months ago. I'm assuming there were others? Why not just reveal it to the public? Are they still making changes, or waiting on certain parts (supply chain delays)?

F that!! I get a car like that or any Porsche or BMW better believe it will be driven.

You are right though a lot of them will be like 3 to 4 years old with 2k on the odometer. More washes than miles for sure.

You can thank Obsessed Garage and his cult following for that. Dude is borderline obese and still takes better care of his car than himself.

Because they said they are going to reveal it in October?
