You could be correct, LFA developed with all Toyota F1 data, after it, they had no troubles improving the IS-F (compare first version and last one (minus gearbox with is auto and more weight, it was up there to the M3 E92 Competition), the GT86 is on Cayman level of handling, and this will likely be quite close to M4, if not surprisingly better in some areas. By the way, Honda HSV (cancelled) and now new NSX also are developed with lots of F1 data. Japanese are simply good at all this, but have different values compared to Germans.
