Do you think that the new Supra will share a platform with this? A v10 Supra would be pretty sweet.

Apparently this would be the Supra. People wouldn't pay $100k for a Toyota, or so I've heard.

AudiInProgress
Looks like the NSX prototype or a corvette...

So true...

Lexus & high price/ super car is just better than a High price Toyota. I think that's how the Supra MKIV end up dieing out, nobody wanted to pay top dollar for a Toyota. No mather how good the car was & still is.

Long live the Supra aka Lexus LF-A.:bowdown:
Now if & when they put a Turbo or 2 on that, watch out.

I think the whole point of an engine with 10 cylinders and over 4.5 litres of displacement that revs to 9000 rpm is that you don't need turbos.

apparently this is supposed to be the competition to acura's replacment for the nsx. but i think it blows it out of the water.

Also I think that it's way nicer then the GT-R... Yes I said it, it's nicer that the GT- R

In the super car world it is almost certain that European Manufacturer Dominiates.....with their "heavy weight" vehicles.
Dont forget the Japanese Vehicles are all Considerably lighter in weight in any class.......but i agree, even with less power, and still beat the record, it dont need the extra HP...

but wow....shaved door handles...speed sensitive spoilers...and triple exhaust on the back just looks sooo nice....it somehow looks like one of the ridge racer cars...LOL...

What are you on? A Ferrari 430 Scuderia puts out 503 bhp and weighs like 2650 pounds. That's pretty goddamned light.

Italian cars > Everything.

Not for the price.

Tech2
And not on that course apparently. But I didn't see any Enzo times, so i dunno. Bottom line is I don't give a shit what country the supercar is from (except maybe china). Just being a supercar makes it cool. There are no uncool supercars.
