New Toyota Supercar?

Looks like it:











Speculation so far is a mid engined v10 or compressed v8. Toyota has not v10 in production, so Im leaning more toward ac compressed v8. Imagine around $100k, and 500 or so hp. Finally Toyota, some real cars.

it will probably sell more than you would imagine if it looks on par with lambo, or ferrari, with equal performance. toyota has built some very REAL cars in the past, but if your statement was for the current toyota lineup i will say, the lineup right now is very crappy.

Motortrend or one of those magazines had a small clip of a concept art Lexus had for their supercar. Underneath that black tarp or whatever, it looks a bit like it

Is it just me or does the design of the car in the last pic look kind of Supra-ish..... Look at the back end.

Wow, $100k for a japanese supercar...hmmm....that $80k Honda doesn't seem to be selling so well either. I guess everyone needs an "image" car though.

Supra for sure its suposed to be coming out 2007-2008 I heard twin turbo 6 with 400hp my guess is price range should be around 50k but thats only a guess.
