I know part of this link (talking about the C6 Z06) is over in RC45's section...but what the hell...let's talk about the Supra.

Still pretty damn hard to tell wtf its going to look like...
Meanwhile, Toyota is cooking up its own limited-production supercar, one that will either be the next Supra (with a possible TXS badge) or a high-end sports car for Lexus. The car caught testing is believed to be an early engineering mule for a 500-hp, 370-lb-ft V10-powered car. Weighing less than 3000 pounds, the sports car is expected to readily run to 190 mph.
Sources say Toyota is eyeing a 2005 Tokyo Motor Show introduction, with an on-sale date in late 2006 or early 2007. Pricing will be in excess of $100,000 for one of an estimated 12,000 that Toyota plans to produce.

I think they will do better if they badge it a Lexus (hopefully it would stay a hardcore sports-car even with the Lexus badge)...in terms of being able to get people to pay $100K...although it would be nice for it to have a Toyota badge.
Wow, V10s with 500hp are really all the rage now-a-days aren't they...
I think they should go with a twin turbo 2UZFE...but that's just me.
That weight is, I think a bit...
optimistic...haha
