Toyota mystery car may be new Supra

Engineers from Toyota Motor Corp. visited Germany's famed Nurburgring racetrack last month to test a prototype sports car shrouded in mystery. Spy shots of the session have provoked widespread speculation on the identity of the vehicle and Toyota's production plans. Among the outrageous guesses are that the prototype is a mule hiding either a 500-horsepower V-10 engine or a high-performance hybrid powertrain. Sources in Japan say it's likely an early test bed for the next Supra, pulled from the U.S. market several years ago because of poor sales. Toyota insiders say the reincarnated Supra should reach the market in 2006 as a 2007 model. The rear-wheel drive coupe, being targeted at the Nissan 350Z, will be powered by a twin-cam 3.5-liter V-6 and priced from well under $30,000.

Oo! Look! It can fly! [sm=icon_rofl.gif]

 

They need a diff wing, but I like the overall shape of it. Any specs on it bob? Supras are pretty badazz.

 

i cant make a comment, because i cant quite tell the actual design

 

So why are you post whoring then (why say anything at all)? (oh wait...I just did the same thing[:@], well actually to make a point)

 

supras are pretty nice. i have a friend that has one and that thing can fly. i dont think they will or should call it a supra. they should just call it something else, but i guess we will have to wait and find out.

 

That has a nice shape to it. Maybe it's going to be the cup car. [sm=smiley2.gif]

 

Looks like a factory built ricer to me. That would cramp the style of the SoCal customizers, wouldn't it?[:'(]

 

Looks pretty nice, a 500hp v-10 would be nice too.

 

ive read in some import mags that at one of the big overseas auto shows, nissan released its "07 us market skyline" and toyota countered with an AWD supra...

and waht is all the nonsense here lately with V10s....a V10 supra...a "V10 crown vic"...
