Remember the Supra? Of course you do! The super, exotic, imported, sports car from Japan has made a comeback this year. After being discontinued for many years, Toyota will unleash the beast once again. According to Topspeed.com , "There will be both coupe and convertible version of the car...The convertible is reported to have a folding hard top and is intented to be more of a boutique car than a serious sport car. The coupe, however, will be just that, equipped with a 5 liter V8 engine producing 450 hp and 383 lbs-ft of torque. This engine will not be available in the open-air model because of rigidity issues. It is said that when Toyota started development of the Supra, it was only a convertible hard-top form with 4.3 liter V8. Later in the process, Toyota opted to go with a more powerful engine. But with the additional came extra loads that the convertible couldn't’t stand, so the company was forced to create a fixed-roof version of the car.
The Supra’s suspension is one befitting that of a true sport car: upper ad lower A-arms up front and a multilink setup at the rear. No doubt the tuning of the shocks and springs will be different in the V8 and V6 models, but expect both version to be relatively firm."
The V8 Supra is expected to be price at $50,000.
The more affordable version is be priced at $40,000.
Toyota is will have a sports car that will blow competitors out of the water.
