and the last lot think it will be a 60k 500bhp+ V10.

that will be us lot hoping then!

When I worked for Toyota at the motorshow so many people asked when the new Supra was coming out.
Thats was nearly 3 years ago!

Come on Toyota, do it!

[DustyC]

Ah but they continued producing the previous models for the other ones.

(has the Supra stopped being made in Japan yet?)

[DustyC]

Are there no other Supra fans on PH?

[andy mac]

Either way...It looks pretty damn foxy! I think you'll find it will be quicker than the 350, purely for Toyota boasting rights...

Not a big fan of the styling, first thing i'd do would be to get rid of all the cardboard and give it a paintjob

OOh plenty,A car that will fish-tail in almost any gear always attracts a few fans!,have 'intimate'knowledge of a few'models'
I'm not very up on specs/variants tho.Mostly ppl,that I know,pull 'em apart-much modding.

Thats disgraceful behavior. Such cars should not be allowed.

exactly my thoughts... it must fishtail in exactly every gear... not merely 'almost' any gear!!

what even the 6-speed ones?

[Mr E]

Looked hard at a supra. Decided the Celica was probably faster on real B roads, and a crap load cheaper.

I still want a black 6sp Supra TT though.

Gazboy said:

they are seriously rare. the Four is probably faster than most things in the real world.

I know.

And I hope so, while requiring significantly less ability to pilot than a 1600kg 400bhp RWD monster.....

[tuttle]

Brakes are significantly better on UK 6speed TT's aswell,& you need 'em

Do you think this was the new "Supra" that was spied a little while ago? EDITED: to say just found the link and spy pictures...I think it was looking at the rear venturis... www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?t=141117&f=23&h=0&hw=new+supra

Here are the first official pictures of the Lexus LF-A, recently seen testing at the Nurburgring. Toyota say it's only a concept for now but the amount of testing they've been doing would suggest otherwise.

Current rumours are that the car is front engined with rear radiators to give the front end a completely clean profile. Engine is either V8 or V10, likely to be 4-5 litres and some are saying its also transversely mounted. Expect around 500bhp. Like the racetracks map display on the dash. Is this for fat, rich executives to pinpoint exactly which barrier on which corner of the 'ring they crashed at?

you mean those things that look like shrek ears?lol

[tuttle]

Ooo-err missus That's one of the most interesting rear-ends I've seen in ages love those vent-out swirly,turbo-fan bladey things too.
Strangely tho,when looking at the side profile pics,I keep getting Nissan 350z styling popping into my head,anyone else see it?
