2020 Supra tear down

Slightly breathless after watching that, but fascinating, nevertheless. Some good-looking standard components that I assume are shared with the G29 (e.g. all-aluminium front subframe).

Also, the paint strippers looks like a proper Brick Top operation... :lol:
2008 Z4MC: heavy wheels | crap suspension | skittish rear end | wobbly engine | not enough induction noise | underwhelming turn in | inconsistent braking | lardy battery | chubby steering wheel
2006 Z4 2.5si: gone

Nothing new, really? Would have thought that car architecture and packaging would have changed quite a bit.

Of course yes things move on, the alu subframe for eg, but really if you see a car manufactured from a flat sheet of steel to a running finished product in 24 hrs the processes and how they’re put together don’t vary very much.
