Thought it would be nice to have one location where we can post all of our "spotted in the wild" pictures, especially as these finally come to market. Have fun and post away!

Iā€™m first on the list at my dealership but the fact they havenā€™t called me with any info Ignites panic in me.

Pair this car with MCS 2WR system and you'll have the best-handling modern 4-door. Arguably one of the best-looking too. I can feel it.

I think this car is going to go down in history up there with the likes of the DC5 ITR. It has very classic looks with the right amount of muscle with the bulging fenders. A very clean car for sure. I love the rear three quarter angle of the car, the shape of the ass end and the tail lights are spot on imo.

I may have missed it, but I didn't see this posted else where. I hope this is ok and falls under the classification of "other images" per the thread title.

This image came from yet another walk around video (link), so 99% of the video included talking points that we have all heard before. What was a first for me was that he showed a handout, which highlighted a few things.

Curse his use of shallow depth of view and angling of the paper... I'll post a few shots where the focus has slightly changed, so that we can try to better make out the different portions of the handout.

Suspension Geometry
Hard to say, but the steering axis seems more vertical compared to the FK8 (link)? Also, the damper fork might be one whole piece in the FL5?

Do sneakers count if I put wheels on them?
I've only seen the Japanese version of that. Where is that from?

Basically it talks about all the changes.

Seems to be a single-sheet translated summary of a few highlights of the Japanese technical presentation that was handed over to journalists for the UK presentation.
