New video of Toronto Red M2 G87

New designs often get better with time. Somehow, that thing just gets uglier.

Sorry must have missed that. Well since it's not a technical reason I'll assume it's marketing and M4 sales...lame.

Roll on CS

A similarly boxy and aggressive design, just like the g87

Why is that a bad thing? Also precisely why I got black.

The rear just doesn’t work and never will. I can live with the front but the back just looks terrible

I think G87 will sell and sell very well, irrespective of under appreciated design elements.

I think it’s a car that has to be appreciated in the flesh to totally take it in … 💯

Its just begging to be lowered with some wide ass wheels.

it’s a weird red. not horrible but weird for sure!

should’ve been called Tomato Red instead of “Tornado Red”

D22M2 · 02-28-2023, 07:23 AM

So damn good in TR!!

I saw the G87 in person for several hours last October and surprisingly the rear looks better in person. Personally, I like it better than the front.

To funny

I am the exact opposite. I LOVE the back, a few tweaks with the reflectors and its good to go. I think the "nose" is a little too long. The hood seems to go on for 4 or 5 inches more than it should. I am paying a designer to work on some ideas for a custom wrap. Plan is to utilize shadings of orange to accentuate certain features and hide others. Looking forward to a performance hood option

I am drooling over a 35lb weight drop and design change for a new hood.

Vented hood??

I’m praying some company designs and sells their own G87 GTS hood and not wait around for the CS to be released before doing it. Not counting on it but fingers crossed.
