Not really. Not only do they not make them anymore, but when they did it was in those signel models, not most of their lineup as in TVR and BMW's case. Also, those engine came less hp stock (even with two turbos each) then the M3 or a few of TVR's engine. And thats the other thing, TVR and BMW are N/A.
uhm... they still make them, just not available in America, that's all. I agree that only the sport car has those engine but what differences does it make if only one car or all car has them? Not all BMW are I6 anyways. Those engine came less HP stock because of the Japanese gentlemen agreement to keep HP @ 280HP or lower. Many people have reached 300+ WHP with not much more than turning up the boost. Besides, the Supra TT was rated @ 320 HP since 1992 (i think), imagine if they continue to sell those, it would be hard to turn up the boost a little more and get much more power. About the NA vs Turbo thing, what differences does it make if you go NA or Turbo or even S/C? Power is power. Everything is fair game... Just because one company chooses NA to power their car and other chooses Turbo to do so doesn't make one better than the other.
