The all-new Raptor  features the second-generation 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine that produces more power with greater efficiency than the current 6.2-liter V8.

Ford also added interior upgrades and paddle shifters to manually handle the 10-speed transmission.

Apparently Lexus has a new modular RWD chassis. Who knows if this is sitting on that same chassis, or if this truly is shared with the BMW tie up.

I agree, I think the vents on the side will be tough for them to do in a production car but the FT1 is a good looking car....I don't really like the front end though, a little to pointy for me

I thought the LC 500 might be the Lexus version of the new supra but I read that it wasn't made in conjunction with bmw so I don't think it's it

Yeah. They (Toyota and BMW) are really secretive on their tie-up. Supposedly it's two different chassis that they are working on.

I really haven't been impressed with acuras looks in years, so this is a nice step in the right direction
