no super, but definitely tweaked.

and if that curb weight is correct, the weight added by the v8 isnt too significant!

i should go back to HB [where i used to live] and see how much hed charge to put one in ;]

the enigne is just tweaked with intake exhaust etc etc. no forced induction. there was a special on it here in the states. its also uses a supra 6spd gearbox. the coolest part about it tho that i thought was that after all the mods were done it only weighed 10 lbs more than stock and had double the HP!!

it was custom made by Rod Millen it was his choice of paint scheme

Ahh C55 anyday..thanks

i dont think Lexus will make this and even if they did, the European counterparts are leaps ahead. Even the CTS-V would give it a run for its money.

it barely does sub 5-seconds to sixty, but, that wa sthe car the Rod Millen made. As of yet, Toyota/Lexus has no plans to put the car into production.
