WHAT WAS THIS!!

[T1PP3R]

Well i am very embarrased to say i dont know what this is, saw it about 6 months ago on a driving holiday to germany on the autobahn, followed it for a few miles trying to work out what it was and managed to get a photo, went through a few tunnels and he floored it each time it did sound like a V8. any thoughts on what it was are very welcome, IMO if i had to say i would estimate it at 1988/9 to around 1994/5 but i don't really know

Supra MKII?

[Codswallop]

Yup, lights certainly look like Supra mk3 ones.

edit; here's a picture too



Glasshouse looks about right too.

If they can drop a Lexus engine in an MX5, I don't think a Supra would be too hard

Pic isn't working for me?

you could be right i just wanted to make sure by getting a few opinions on it.

pretty sure it wasnt an alpine turbo

hmmm...dont know why, a wee f5 required?

[Alx323]

Venturi of some kind?

[LMC]

I don't know what it is , but it's got Made in Japan written all over it (figuratively speaking). Given the t-top it has to be Toyota surely.

It just screams Supra doesn't it?

it has indeed got japan design written all over it but the problem is i dont have a clue what it might be the supra idea is most likely at the moment, sort of hoping i spotted some mad one off autobahn monster though highly doubt it though

Definitely a Supra.

Look at the shading on the glass on the rear side window, and the wing mirror, and the rear wiper.

ETA - and the square block in the middle of the tail lights

Nope definitely not.

normal version:



super high powered 400 GT




at first glance it looks like the koeing kit that goes on the fezzes....

actually never looked at the rear wiper but that does give it away a bit, good bit of detail spotting there
