The new supra might still come up...If so it will be intended to take on the 350Z or to be more exact to nuke the 350Z performance wise.Power would come from a 3.5l V6 good for well over 300hp.

i love the rear, but the front is to angular for my tastes. a supercar should look smoth, not sharp.
:EDIT: wow, i just noticed those "mirrors". i doubt they're useful

Toyota should follow Nissan's lead and get EUROPEAN DESIGNERS to design their cars, instead of Japanese ones. Look how well the 350Z and Murano were recieved? To be honest, there isn't a single Japanese-designed car I can think of that has ever made a man's pulse run.
