Rmemeber my ramblings aout the next supra and my THEORIES with the V-10 Toyota Supercar. Well Road and Track has jsut realeased a new article stating that their sources have found Toyota to be building a V-10 supe.r car for Lexus and a New Supra for 2005. Looks like my theory is possibly correct. Fromm further digging and a few calls...ive found out that the 2005 date is a bit off. Toyota is planning on going all out on sports cars...V-10 Supercar with 6 speed and 6 speed sequential. Supra 6-Speed or 6-Speed sequential (?) or possibl automatic with 5-speed shift. 8G Celica...very fuzzy details. Due for 2006.
Remember...you haeard it from Nate first before Road and Track =P -Nate ![]() I hope I hope I hope the supercar war happens again =) |

It's gonna be early 90s all over again. A new Z car is launched, and Mazda and Toyota launch their own cars to compete. Wild.

I agree...I want pictures too LOL
Road and Track made a pic about the Lexus V-10 supercar...but we all know how crappy their concept pics are. I hate to burst your guys bubbles but Toyota HAD attempted to release a V-8 400HP Supercar in the early 90's. The car was simply AMAZING and it was known as the 4000GT. Critics hailed it and loved it.....but due to sagging Supra sales im guessing thats why it was never realeased =(. Toyota has -Nate ![]() |

With the Z car, Evo, and STI Impereza, (most likely made faster or dead by 2006,) we are going to have fun watching 40 year old doctors racing down the inter state!

supercar wars is gonna be badass.
the mazda rx-7 gonna be reborn in 2006. supposively there will be a mazdaspeed verison using turbo rotary making about 300 bhp and base model using the n/a renisis (spelling?) rx-8 engine. the rx-8 wont be discontinued they will both be coming out at the same time. that'd be so badas if it does come out. another pure sports car. |

Sorry guys, but I'm with Natalie on this one. If they do release the Supra again, it shouldnt be called the Supra because every concept Ive seen looks like complete ass and it would ruin the Supra name.

Not many.
Nate how good is your source on the Celica? I hate to be a bringer of doom, but it's really strange for a car to be released regularly for 20/30 years or whatever then to survive after a several year gap. Are they going to run the 7th gen untill 2007? I don't think so.. Unless they brought it out sooner ![]() |

I would imagine it would be the general five years of the same body style. IMO I would guess around '05-'06 there would for sure be a new Celica out.

Japanese Supercars arent limited to 280. THey jsut say that due to a gentlements agreement early in the supercar battle.|

well, I think it was nate that informed us about the new solara before I saw it in any mags (maybe it was someone else)
so mybe we should trust his sources, but a 2007 8th gen? that seems like a long time to wait, it seems that sales are sharply dropping off on the 7th gen, even the gt-s, probably because of the rsx-s, but I don't care either way, I probably wont have enough for an 8th gen come 2006, and I'm definately happy with the 6th gen. BRING BACK THE 6TH GEN j/k -------------------- [img]http://photos-081.facebook.com/n6/081/n15913038_30266081_3342.jpg[/img]

Nate your posts are confusing bro
![]() I still don't believe toyota will run a celica model more than 5 years. They have run the celica for 32 years now, and the year gaps were: 1g - 2g: 6 (first model so really a test run! car saw several updates over 6yrs) 2g - 3g: 4 3g - 4g: 4 4g - 5g: 4 5g - 6g: 4 6g - 7g: 5 (such a beautiful / well selling car, why not run it 5 years ![]() So I think the 8th gen could come out as early as the end of 2004 through to mid 2005. Thats just a guess though! |

You know what I noticed? The headlights on that Supra concept floating around on the internet...the one in the japanese magazine. The headlights look exactly like the 2000gt's. It's kinda cool that they're going retro.

Oh yea Geek_One....the links are a big misleading..the 1st one having old concept pics and the next one for saying it will have the 4.3 liter (presumably) 3UZ-FE engine. Toyota has tinkered and finalyl made the V-10 streetable. All of this information was new at the time...but thanks for the posts! =)

I actually read Road and Track this weekend, it's the September issue. The article about the Lexus supercar is in there, with a picture. It says it has a 5.0 V-10. It also said something about the engine having problems with vibtrations, but they fixed it, whatever. It's supposed to push 500 horsepower and compete directly with lambos and Ferrari Maranello's. They're going to introduce it when they introduce the Lexus line in Japan. The article also said the Supra was going to POSSIBLY be reintroduced in the US the following year to enhance their sports car image in the U.S., but it didn't say it would be based on the Lexus supercar. The next page had a concept drawing of an RX-7 that may come out, it looked a lot better than the new RX-8. I almost bought the magazine, but I don't have a scanner anyway so I wouldn't have been able to get the pictures up. Go to a bookstore and skim through it though if you want to see it for yourself.
