2008 Supra

[ALTEZZA]

do kat ne go vidia kat oficialna informacia ot Toyota ne go viarvam, no eto vse pak kakvo se govori:

Rumors of the new Supra from Toyota have been circulating from mounths. With the Lexus GT 450 serving as the company’s halo sports car, Toyota would benefit by having a sports car that’s a bit more affordable. Wtih two performance machines in its stable, Toyota would no longer be viewed as simply a producer of reliable and green transportations appliance.

There will be both coupe and convertible version of the car, probably introduced at the same time. 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, eqquiped 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 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.

It is expected the V8 Supra to be priced about 50000$. The more affordable Toyota Supra (40000$) will come with a 3.5 liter V6, the same powerplant used in the Lexus IS 350 and GS 350, but tuned to produce more power: 350 hp and 275 lbs-ft of torque.

Toyota will have a car that’ll eclipse the performance of the Nissan 350Z, Mazda RX-8 and Honda S2000. Look for the Supra to make appearance in October of 2007.

Tova hubavo obache....

edin den vijdam tova:





sled niakolko meseca...tova:

It comes as no surprise that Toyota has something up its sleeve int he mid-price range sports-car segment. As Nissan's 350z keeps rolling year after year with solid sales numbers and a growing fan base, Toyota has had no answer; the most sporting model in the current lineup is the TRD Tacoma pickups, as the company's sporting cars namely the Celica and Supra, are no longer around. But things may change dramatically very soon. As we reported several months ago, plans are under way for a new Supra. And we've discovered thatthe new Supra has the makings of something very special. Toyota is pulling no punches with this car. Simply put, it plans to take over the mid-price sports-car segment. The new Supra which we predict will go on sale in early 2008, will be powered by a naturally aspirated 3.5 liter V-6 (2GR-FSE in the GS350) The specially tuned version of this all-aluminum powerplant is expected to produce 350bhp at 7000 rpm and about 290 lb-ft of torque at 5000. Combine this with a curb weight of about 3200 lb, and you have a car that could run to 60 mph in the mid-4.0 secs. making it quicker than the current 350z. There is still the possibility that Toyota will jam its 4.3 liter V-8 into the engine bay, but not until later in its life cycle. The V-6 may come mated to a twin-clutch 6-speed manual transmission like the DSG used in the Audi and Volkswagon. Because the Supra will be built on the current Lexus IS platform, it will no doubt come with the same basic suspension setup upper and lower A-arms up rear. However, we hear that Toyota engineers are busy tuning it to handle with the best sports cars in Europe. The new Supra is experted to come in both coupe and convertible versions or perhaps as a retractable hardtop, with the price tag under that of the 350z. Think of it; a new sports-car priced in the low-$30,000 range with the handling and power-to-weight ratio of a car-and with Toyota reputation. It's a car that'll grab the attention of any enthusiast.

yeah.... low 30K.. ok

Throughout the past couple of years, major print and online auto publications have hinted at a possible revival of the Supra in 2007/2008, pointing the car in different directions. The vehicle was originally thought to be the flagship or halo model in the Toyota lineup, be powered by a high output V8, and have an estimated cost anywhere between $50,000 and $70,000. This was due to the increasing number of sighting of a high performance sports car being tested throughout Europe and, more specificly, on the Nürburgring. These vehicles turned out to be the test mules for Lexus' future Lexus LF-A.[4]

After this was discovered, it was then believed that that if a new Supra were to be released, it will be positioned to compete directly against the Nissan 350Z. It was expected to be available as a coupe and convertible, have a V6 producing around 300 hp, and cost between $25,000 and $35,000. Throughout recent years, different publications as well as fans of the Supra have created several renditions of what a new Supra might look like if it were ever to be produced.[5]

On August 15, 2006, all rumors of a Supra being produced in the future immediately were negated. The same numerous publications that originally speculated on a future Supra all stated no new vehicle was being developed. According to *an AutoWeek article on current and upcoming Toyota vehicles, all rumors on the Supra's return are false.[6] Automotive News also claim Toyota has absolutely no plans for a Supra in the future.
