The engine is cool from BMW. The whole I drive and dash components are a little jarring!

The trouble is with the FT-1 concept is, is that if something similar went into production, it is looking at competing (currently) with the likes of the Nissan GTR £80k at a minimum all the way up to the likes of the Porsche 911 GT3 & AMG GTR at upwards of £150k - all of which are very established Premium brand Supercar's.
Paying upwards of £150k for a 'Toyota' would be un-heard of. All current BMW's themselves do not go up to that price as the current highest BMW is the 850i at £75k and the M8 rumoured to be in the region of £140k. BMW would not want a 'Toyota' detracting from their attempt at the £150k Supercar segment.

Looking at 2016+ 140i tuning and seems like the B58 is quite the sleeper.
Standard remap takes the car to 430BHP & a remap with supporting mods can push 455BHP.
Good to see there is capability there for the tuners.
Toyota also have Lexus to cover the top-end market.
I fully expect TD/Fensport/Abbey to have something up their sleeve for this car - as they all did for the '86/BRZ.Shawrey
Oh for sure.
I am very excited, especially when I read this:

What's the retail on one these? (Couldn't resist )
Looking at SHMEE's "I bought it' video I did notice the vent's around the front lights/arches which I thought would be used for brake duct cooling... very tidy that they've incorporated this already. It's almost like Toyota want you to go and start bolting and strapping things to it for the track .

Shame that many of the vents are fake: https://jalopnik.com/heres-every-fake-vent-on-the-2020-toyota-supra-1831804258

I'd trust a review that's actually spoken to Tada, the guy who did the aero design over some other thread with no sauce..
Fake news on fake vents?

I loved the B58 in my M140i, and yup there's a lot of different routes available.Looking at 2016+ 140i tuning and seems like the B58 is quite the sleeper.

f. All current BMW's themselves do not go up to that price as the current highest BMW is the 850i at £75k
What?
There are numerous BMW's with a starting price of more than £75k. The 850's are £100,000 for Coupe and £104,00 for convertible not £75k for a start.
