New MKV Supra
browsing SF.com today, came across some fairly credible info.

99.999% positives:
a) It will be called "Supra".
b) 2 models will be offered, base and GT version.
c) Base = $30K-ish and will smoke a 350Z.
d) GT = $50K-ish and will use a V8.
e) It will be sexy, and worthy of the name Supra.
f) When he sends me pictures (yes, real photos of the CA mystery car) you know I will **** off Toyota by posting them here. :lol:
Maybes (rumors from TRD):
a) F1 paddle shifters.
b) Boost? He mentioned the words "turbo" and "blower'. :eek:
c) May see it as a 2006 model offering.
Interesting TRD info:
a) They have stroker 4.7L V8 Tundra race engines on the shelf that now are like 5.4L and make 600hp N/A. They are for sale.
MKV Supra swap?
b) The Scion tC Vortech blower kit has an optional water-air intercooler for 220+fwhp. $3K suggested price.
c) The "Volta" may be a reality, but only in Europe as a $100K offering.

Wow...thanks for the info. About time for Toyota to revive that legendary nameplate.
I thought the US Toyota dealers have been taking pre-orders of the Volta/Priapus already. So it's not true?
Having to weed thru their language to get to the actual info part was almost killing me. I'm so glad I'm back looking at CL again.

please, oh please!! but mazda and nissan also said that they would never bring back the z and the rx. so hopefully toyota will follow suit. you know whats good though, is that there are going to be A LOT of quality supras on the market as soon as this one hit the shores. also, i think that picture that you posted is just a mkiv supra with some fancy covers for testing. those body line are IDENTICAL to the MKIV. the rear end looks like it has a cover on it to block out the tail lights and the rest of the bumper, but the lift gate is pure MKIV.

...that's cuz the pic is of an old-school MKIV.
Yes Toyota did say there will be no new Supra, however they appear to have be lying. It's good to keep the competition clueless. Lexus also said the 06 GS 430's V8 will remain the exact same, I seriously doubt it.
92 SC / 93.5MKIV
06 IS / 07 MKV
