Re: Supra renderings.

Talk about a 2 dimensional front. No curves or anything at all. Looks like a straight wall.
I don't even like the old ones, but they are better looking than that.

Re: Supra renderings.

I like the red one OK... the rest, no. Especially the white one.

I'd be reeeeal excited to see te 3.5L V6 from the IS matched with a nice factory turbo setup, though. In this day and age of factory/dealer-supported/warrantied performance upgrades maybe they could even do a multi-stage setup with warrantied upgrades to the turbo setup for a nominal additional fee.

Re: Supra renderings.

The profile immediately made me think "New Mitsubishi Eclipse"....

Ya, it's just kind of odd looking... "2-dimensional" is probably the best way to desscribe it... :blah:

Re: Supra renderings.

Red one looks 350z-ish.

The yellow one has a big mouth.

Anybody notice the engine: 4.6L V8

I didn't have much time when I looked at the link previously... I saw no mention of the motor.

4.6L V8 makes sense because that's the Lexus V8 going into all the new Lexus models for 2007-2008 model year (depending on the model in question). It's supposed to make a minimum of 350hp and when tuned and tweaked more aggresively (still N/A and still very much stock), 400hp. It's also suspected than a stroked out version of the 4.6L will be making its way into a Lexus IS500

Re: Supra renderings.

Lack of a turbocharged motor kills the buzz of the tuner crowd. Since virtually no one in that crowd could afford the Supra (then or in the future) I'm sure Toyota isn't sweating that too much.

I concur. The rake of the car and the side profile from that angle looks Vetteish

Makes me wonder what Ford could do with their 3V 4.6?
