GR Supra HyperBoost Jumps Through Time, Space
Custom Supra includes a 20-piece carbon-fiber widebody kit, remapped ECU and custom turbo kit for big power and style gains.
SEMA 2019 has already come and gone for us at Club Lexus, and we already are planning for another trip to Las Vegas in 2020. After all, there are all sorts of Lexus builds we’re looking forward to seeing in and around the Las Vegas Convention Center, including a few we don’t even know about (yet).
Until then, though, we’ve got a few cool Lexus and Toyota builds to share with you. In fact, we found a wild GR Supra in gray with a widebody kit parked at Toyota’s display, built with the company’s SEMA MC, TV star Rutledge Wood Behold the GR Supra HyperBoost Edition in all of its glory.
The main feature of this custom Supra is its 20-piece widebody kit, designed by LL17 Motorsports, the same company whose Camry XSE from SEMA 2017 beat all others in a themed build-off between Rutledge and a few NASCAR greats. The kit is all carbon fiber, and bolts on like an OEM body kit would. And to drive that point home, you can actually buy the kit from LL17 for your own GR Supra as of this writing.
The carbon fiber party continues up top, where LL17 removed the stock roof panel, then dropped in a carbon fiber unit. The Supra was then shipped to Austin, Texas to receive its coat of TRD Cement Grey paint, serving as a neutral backdrop to the red 20-inch three-piece wheels shod in Continental ExtremeContact Sport tires. And yes, even the wheels have some carbon fiber goodness, as the lips are made of the stuff.
Of course, you can’t just build a badass Supra without not having something to match the aggressiveness of the outside. Under the hood, the 3.0-liter turbo-six includes an ECU remap, a custom titanium exhaust system, and a custom turbo kit. The sum total of these parts is an astounding figure of over 750 horses, well over the 335 ponies the stock motor makes out of the box.
All in all, we’d say Rutledge & Co. knocked this Supra build out of the park. We’d certainly love to see what it could do upon the quarter-mile.
