Great find! That thing sounded fantastic. I never knew Dave Sims was involved with Toyota.

How strange it is that this thread is dead ever since the 7th of December whilst there should be all kinds of buzzing going 'round this team.
I mean, when is the new TS040 gonna show? It must be running tests here and there but there's absolutely nothing to be found about her... Anyone's got any news? |

Toyota knows how to keep a secret. But don't be surprised if the launch coincides with a new Toyota concept!

According to Kouta Sera blog,
Latest Motor Fan Illustrated magazine will feature Toyota TS030 engine. It seems that the inner parts of TS030 engine are exhibited. http://serakota.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2013-12-14 |

Yes.
You can check out the preview of the magazine on AS-Books.jp. (And you can buy digital edition.) Release date is Dec 21. (At present, it has not been updated yet.) http://www.as-books.jp/ |

Hopefully you share the details with us! Im keen to see the uniqueness of the engine compared to the RV8K.

Rumor was that TMG would develop a larger capacity version of that engine.
Whether or not it'll be based exactly on the RV8 family or will be an "addition" to the family (like Nissan did with the VHR engines, some were purpose built engines, some were based on the VH and VK V8 road engines) is currently unknown. |

Wurz just put on Twitter he is off to cologne and TMG for a seat fitting in the new TS040. Guess they have at least one tub ready and are on schedule for a January debut.

Not sure where to put it, but toyota's twitter responded to a question about the TS040's unviel saying late march https://mobile.twitter.com/Toyota_Hy...48748431708161 well, i guess that means the tests will be private or this is wrong.

Quick question: what do we do with this thread now that the new "Toyota TS040" thread has been opened ?

It stays open as long as you want to post something relevant in it, I guess. Look how long the equivalent Peugeot thread stayed alive for........

When Toyota pull out of the sport and then plan their return for 2020 we'll be glad this thread still exists.

We can talk about the TS040 in the other thread. Or we can discuss whether we should not post here thus keeping it near the top of the threads. Bump! |
