Yes, it is heavy! However, weight and power go hand-in-hand! But, I'm pretty sure that this is not going to be the REAL supra whenever it comes out...

This is a real Supra. It's an MKIV Supra with a V12 engine swap from the Toyota Century. It's got some body modifications but it's a swap not a new car.

Akira Iida said that
「フロントに漬物石のせた感じだな」
meaning, it feels like the front has a big *** rock (a heavy *** rock in japan that we use to make JDM pickles and whatnot) on it LOL.

and am I the only one that doesnt have audio?

Yes, I know this is a real supra! BUT, what I was saying is that the NEW one that comes out in the coming years will not have V12...

How do you know?

Has Toyota announced anything beside the fact that they plan to return the Supra? Did they say anything about the powerplant that they will decide to use in the next gen Supra?

I'm with him. There is nothing announced by Toyota for a Supra replacement. Nothing even as much as a concept. The closest we've had is the FT-HS. The rumor to reality ratio for the Supra has the record.

Well.....do you really think that they're gonna give you a V12 for a price that is around $30-$40k ???

Not the first time I have seen it, but it must be a torque monster.
