sl114 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Well Nissan have just released details of the GT-R now Toyota have come back with a new Supra! Full article here linky Quote
captint Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 It'll look very differen't when it hits production Quote
PZR Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Have toyota confirmed it? Last time all these mocked up picutres of it and articles were floating around, toyota said they were completely false rumours and it wasn't going to happen. Quote
Ian Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Im sure I read somewhere that Toyota were pulling out of the sports car market, which is why the Celica and MR2 have stopped production and no replacements were planned. That Supra is super ugly though and if it looks much like that I cant see many going for that over the GTR Quote
M13KYF Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Read it was going into production with the Nissan GT-R and the Lexus coming into the marketplace. Also it said it was using a V10 with links from the F1 side. It has been photographed recentley testing around the ring Quote
rickya Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Looks like a smaller version of the ill fated Bugatti EB10 Quote
smair82 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Like the style but cant help feeling its underpowered just like the celica, why would you pick this over a Z other than looks can't see performance being all that from the engine specs, and is it worth estimated 20k more:blush: Quote
StephenG Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 This Supra will use the V6-Hybrid link up of the Lexus GS450h (my wife's car) which is hugely powerful and smooth (335bhp; a 270PS petrol engine alongside a 180PS electric one). I imagine they'll tune that to get another 50 or so horses out of it. This is rear wheel drive and will be around the £50K mark. The Lexus, the LFA-1, will be a V8 or a V10 and will be around the £80K mark, and also be hybrid, and possibly 4WD. And if you think that Supra looks a bit ugly... However, while the Lexus will definitely happen, the Supra is being used purely as a teaser to see if potential customers are interested enough to generate a market for it. We're a long, long, way off production yet. Quote
sl114 Posted November 16, 2006 Author Posted November 16, 2006 I think it also looks way too much like the new Audi R8!!! Quote
