Looks pretty Good I suppose. Not a fan of thw wheels though. I wonder what engine they will have in it? I heard Toyota were producing a 450hp (335kw) Twin Turbo V8.

If you ask me .... Damn sexy. It has Definate styling cues from the 360 Modena and tehre is a definate family resemblance with the celica. And Looking at that ... I am Picking the performance will be pretty special.
The Toyota 4.0 V8 has got a ton of potental. There is a guy here in NZ that has built an F40 replica using that engine ... it pumps out over 1000hp.
Damn i would love to see a twin turbo version of that V8 go into production

I see where You get the 360 modena from. It does look similar. I am sure the car would look way better than that in real life though.
Is it the Lexus V8 you are talking of? becasue the V8 I heard that was going in would be the 4.0Litre Lexus TT V8. That would fly!

Well if they wanted to get 450hp one would presume it would be TT. I couldnt imagine them getting 450N/A HP out of the 4.0Litre V8. That would be one hell of a HP/L.

Well one assumes that forced induction would be used for such output's...
Until i came across this thread, i wasnt aware they were developing a v8 with that sort of expected output.
I can only smile at the thought ... a TT V8 powered supra
