Top Secret V-12 Supra

I picked up the March copy of Option Magazine yesterday, and came across an article about a V-12 powered Toyota Supra built by Top Secret.



A little bit of searching on the Internet later, I found an article in English. I like the idea of a V-12 Supra. Top end must be unreal!!

I agree. Maybe the point is to prove a point

Perhaps a V-12 will provide more useable power on the street since it would probably have less turbo lag?
