looks like an eclipse, celica, and an F-body cross mated lol.. Looks sweet. I dont like the extra electronic gear. Always makes it harder for us people who cant leave good enough alone to mod them lol.

That's why I said the cars have NOTHING IN COMMON at ALL.


Woaaaaah toyota made something fast 10 years later! Let's call it a supra again! That's so gay...It seats less people, weight is totally different, engine configuration is TOTALLY different, no common shape, and the price range isn't even in the same ball park.

2007? This is all guess work, autoweek makes money from a bunch of guys sitting around scratching their heads going "what if" and "maybe" based on concept car pictures. They have no idea what they are talking about, and I'm 99% sure the word "supra" was never mentioned ONCE by anyone representing toyota.

This was just a test, something they had to do because every lame company that knows NOTHING about real exotic cars has been coming out with some pretty cool stuff lately. ME-412? The caddy exotic? Mazda's misc. exotic drawings.. etc. Toyota decided to make a one-off to re-kindle spirit/image of the company and make people at shows like Geneva think that they are up to par.

/rant

edit: If someone has 100k to spend, they aren't going to drop it on a Toyota.. no offence.

but they will spend it on a ford?? or a vw.

If the car proves itself performancewise, I think it will find a market.

actually the whole electric motor/ coupled with engine thing actually adds to performance potential... bigger turbo only with no noticeable turbo lag because the extra hp from the electric motor kicks in while the turbo is spooling up... then once the turbo is spooled the electric motor shuts off...

...thats the ideal turbo engine/electric motor setup...
