Bespoke enough for you ?

If Toyota wanted to they could
The Supra was never really what they wanted to sell
It's the nx300 and Corollas and rav4s and CHRs
Supra brings people into show rooms and they drive home in the Camry |
Is that the ONLY inline 4 block Honda has ever built? Like there's no other inline 4 blocks using similar technology before it, or hasn't had an inline 4 built for a while and it's the first inline 4 with V-TECH that they designed and built?
NO.
It's a highly tuned variant of Honda's F20 architecture. Just like the S54 is a variant of the S52 Euro block, Honda didn't have to design the F20C from scratch. They had an existing architecture that evolved into he F20C. Just like BMW's E46 M3 has a "bespoke" engine in that the S54 was only used in the E46 M3 and sparingly in the Z3 M and Z4 M. The block, architecture, design, all existed long before the F20C was placed in the S2000.
Is it unique? Yeah. But if you want to claim that Toyota can just wave a magic wand and a new xJZ platform will magically appear?
I've got some marshland to sell you in Florida.
