New Supra

[mechsympathy]

Fantastic. Any idea what the price the MR2 turbo is likely to be?

(And a bit of a shame the Supra isn't going to be gunning for the Crossfire/350Z)

I'm not sure the world needs another £50k+ super performance car, there cant be that much call for them can there?

I'm not sure the world *needs* a single supercar. But I'm damn glad they exist.....

"Details about the new two-seater remain scarce, but it’s likely to receive a new, naturally aspirated V10 engine from the company’s production car division. Using the same cylinder bore spacing as the 4.3-litre V8 used in the Lexus LS430, the modular alloy-block unit displaces 5.4 litres and is thought to run the VVT-i variable valve timing system used on a variety of Toyota engines to allow a red line over 8000rpm. Given Toyota’s reputation for delivering engines with high specific outputs, it’s entirely probable the TXS will end up with a Lamborghini Gallardo-challenging 500bhp."
