BTW, here's the 1967 Toyota 2000GT, Japan's first supercar.
"Nevertheless Toyota did enter the 2000GT in competition, finishing third in the 1966 Japanese Grand Prix at Fuji Speedway and winning the Fuji 24-hour Race of 1967. In a 78-hour endurance test, the Toyota 2000GT broke three long-distance world speed records.
Built on a sturdy X-backbone frame, the 2000GT's 4-wheel independent suspension had double-wishbones front and back. The engine, a 1988cc DOHC 6-cylinder unit with 3 Solex carburetors, produced 150 horsepower, good for a top speed of over 130 mph. Other features included a close-ratio 5-speed transmission, limited slip differential, and Japan's first 4-wheel vacuum-boosted disc brakes."
