Engine Model 3UZ-FE
Type V8, 32 valve, DOHC
Displacement, cc 4,480
Max Horsepower, hp / rpm 480 or more
Max Torque, kgm / rpm 52 or more

Chassis & body Dimensions, mm (L x W) 4,535 x 1,825
Wheelbase, mm 2,620
Track, mm (front/rear) 1,550 / 1,530
Transmission 6

This "chassis" will replace most of the Supra in the GT500 field. I think its 3 SCs and 2 Supras.

So far in testing the new SC hasn't done that well. It's around a second off the times of the Z and NSX. Just got to wait and see how much they can work out between now and season opener on the 19th.

Definately not for me, as if the car isn't heavy enough already !! And NO, I'm not taking out any luxury equipment/parts from my car to compensate for the weight gain . . . Plus the looks, it's OK for a track car, but not for regular use on the road.

Default Go Lexus!!

I am so glad to see this post. This is very exciting to me. I am a big race-fan, so now I can mix my passions; Lexus SC430 and Racing.

Another image and some info published.

GT Promo Video Page Very Cool!

Trying to find out if there will be any TV coverage.

Unfortunetly Super GT isn't on US TV. Speed channel covered one or two races a few years ago, but that was before they were bought by Fox and became a big Nascar commercial.

The must have reinforced the roof where it meets the pillars and welded it shut because flexing in the roof is not good for a stable chassis. I knew they were using 3UZ-FE engines in JGTC races but didn't think they'd ever use the SC...exciting news!

And Lee, by the looks of the blacked out taillights, its a 2006 model with LED taillights!!
