Is this the new Toyota Supra? Also, new NSX pics inside!

Is this the new Supra?

Known internally as the 7FDU45 by those in the know, the latest Toyota Supra is now available for all to see. Heavily-disguised examples have been spotted around the country, primarily warehouse districts. Lightweight, mid-engined, and an amazing turning radius distance itself form its peers. And that diesel-powered engine shows that Toyota is not just serious about hybrids, but other fuel choices.

High-mounted lighting and mirrors distinguishes itself from the crowd of sports cars. Retro design cues and a "wind in the face" feeling give that sporty feeling not found in any other modern car. It also sports a front-mounted payload capacity for that bit of utility you've been missing from other so-called sporty cars.

Toyota: Moving Forward >

Toyota have been in the doldrums recently, but now they're just beginning to pick up.

 

[Dave A]

They're certainly preparing to stick a fork into the sportscar market again.

 

[F1GTR]

Yep, that new Supra will certainly lift them back up to standard.

Apparently i've been driving the new Supra at work for years now.

Let me also add that its great for burnouts, and in puddles of water, it can becomes a side ways drift machine.

I can't imagine that being very safe.

Turns on a dime

Looks like Toyota is making it as a single seater to feel more like a race car too. Command seating nice and high, plus its in the middle. Besides the utility front end, visibility looks to be pretty good.

I find this thread quite entertaining. +rep Pupik

 

[=V8 Power=]

Take a look at the paintjob and how they painted it to look like its been in a few accidents. I gives it that rough look.

 

[ROAD_DOGG33J]

I like how they put the lights up on the roof, should make it a little safer to drive.

 

[Sakiale]

It looks like easy access, and if you're in an accident all you have to do is jump out the big holes to either side! Cant see how the center of gravity will be any good, though

Heres a fun fact: The "new Toyota Supra" is more stable, and close to being untipplable on flat surfaces with a weight load on the forks.

 

[Luca]

I hate you.

 

[McLaren]

Someone put that thing on the Nordschliefe!

 

[3-Wheel Drive]

It's even got a flashy orange light for when you really want to say "Hey, look at me!"

 

[Jay]

Awesome, love the racey seats. On that note,


Here is a spyshot in Nissan testing facilities of the upcoming GTR (take note those large wheels covering the large brakes)

And here is a artists rendition of the Nismo Z tune version

 

[YSSMAN]

Did you see the pictures of the next Evo X?

The new advanced AWD system will come in handy with the snow...

(BTW: I love the Falken paint job!)

 

[Sakiale]

Wow, that Nismo Z tune is hot!! I want one!

But I have yet another exclusive! Spyshots of the new NSX!!!

To go on sale in the US as the Honda HSC-type-R, note the swoopier styling of the HSC. It is more low-slung than any of the above models, and the absence of cargo areas makes it very light. It is reported to have godlike handling, and check out the big spoiler needed to keep it on the ground above 150 mph!

Speed is reported to be 2.9 to 60 with an electric motor, and a top speed north of 180 mph.

Price is in the 80--100,000 dollar range.

It even has to have a fan on the bottom, a la Chapparral race car, to keep it glued to the ground!

This thread has become far too silly.

You killed it. 👎

 

[Sakiale]

And HOW did I kill it?

 

[GT4_Rule]

Holy crap this thread is hilarious...

 

[YSSMAN]

Looking for a restoration job? How about an old Datsun 240Z?

 

[Taurine]

And HOW did I kill it?

That lawnmower is not made by Honda.

 

[GT4_Rule]

You needed this Sakiale:

The women included.

 

[Holdenhsvgtsr]

Honda's new NSX-R

 

[Master_Yoda]

Holy ****! Does It Have A Vtec?

 

[IMADreamer]

Can anyone speculate quartermile times and skid pad numbers on these? Also any pricing info? It looks like the Japanese sports car wars are going back to it's hayday of years past.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

Holy ****! Does It Have A Vtec?

It has 3 VTEC's! The most impressive thing about it though is the spoiler, which is functional and helps the car during high speed turns.

Unless you turn beside a garden gnome, then theres a possibility of knocking over the gnome and sending it flying into the bushes.
