#36 of 298 Hybrid Lexus GS450? by sharinganpwns Mar 19, 2005 (10:54 pm)
If lexus does unveil a lexus GS hybrid v8 at the New York Auto Show, why not put it in the future supra? just tune it for a bit more power maybe then seems like itd be all set. just got to see when they plan to sell the GS450 hybrid
#37 of 298 well by nippononly Mar 21, 2005 (7:05 pm)
the GS is a much bigger car than one would hope the Supra would be. The RX400H uses 240 NiMH batteries - they take up a lot of space. The 400+ hp hybrid powertrain they will use for the GS450H and the new hybrid LS will presumably need even more. Where would all those batteries go in the Supra?   besides, I think the world in general forgives real sports cars their fuel consumption. If you've got the money to buy one, you've got the money for the gas. Replies to this message: 1989mark7 (Mar 30, 2005 7:29 pm)
#38 of 298 2007 Supra by 1989mark7 Mar 30, 2005 (7:29 pm)
Replying to: nippononly (Mar 21, 2005 7:05 pm) Do you guys know that in the 1990's that a Supra was nearly $48,000? Imagine how much it would be now?
#39 of 298 why? by karl3 Apr 02, 2005 (7:23 pm)
if they could bring back the supra, stick in a turbocharged or supercharged V-6 or V-8 and price it in the mid to high 30s it would sell like nothing else the car market has ever seen. With these tuner kids puting $100K into celicas why not get something that has some GO to go with all that SHOW. I am positive that Toyota will replace the celica with something, maybe something in the same ballpark as the supra, but nothing that could compete with it performace wise. the ' 07 "super supra" is never going into production like it is now. it will probably have a 200hp naturally aspirated V-6 and will be just another bland touring car.
#40 of 298 in 1998 by nippononly Apr 02, 2005 (9:42 pm)
the last year they sold the Supra in the U.S., the list price for the base model with the NA motor was about $33K.   Even the twin turbo was only $42K, or something like that.   Now in 1995 the twin turbo reached $50K sticker, and Toyota realized it had gone too far. It promptly gave all the existing owners the shaft (bye bye resale value!) by lowering the price $10K for the following model year.   They could easily do a car that would outrun everything but the Corvette for less than $40K, using many existing components of the new Lexus cars. Which is not to say that they will do so.
#41 of 298 MKIII Supra by lemoned Apr 07, 2005 (9:51 am)
Hi, I know this isnt about the car you guys are talking about, but... Does anyone know how much HP a stock 87 MKIII non-turbo Supra has? Also, how much does a twin-turbo 95 MKIIII Supra engine have? I plan on swaping one into my 87 Supra sometime... and knowing the numbers helps Thanks.     ed
#42 of 298 a stock by nippononly Apr 07, 2005 (2:10 pm)
NA '87 Supra was 200 hp even. That was a notably heavy car that didn't increase in speed much beyond its 161 hp 1985 predecessor. The TT Supra from the mid-90s, I forget, 300 hp? I think that's about right. It doesn't sound like a whole ton now, but a decade ago that was a lot of power. And of course, this is an engine renowned for being able to handle enormous boosts in power without having to strengthen the bottom end.
#43 of 298 nippononly by rorr Apr 07, 2005 (2:18 pm)
Actually, the TT-Supra from the mid-90's was at 320hp (stock). I think the turbo 300ZX was at 300hp.
#44 of 298 Still sold? by lexi4life Apr 10, 2005 (1:53 pm)
But is the Supra still sold anywhere in the world under the design we had until '98 or it was just killed to reappear sometime in 2007? If it's still available, could someone tell me where because I'm curious to know in what country people can still get some!
#45 of 298 you COULD by nippononly Apr 10, 2005 (8:40 pm)
get them for many years in Japan after they left the States. I think they quit making them a couple of years ago? Maybe three? I lose track of time!
