New Toyota Supra 5.0L V8, 450 bhp, 383 lb-ft torque
Just picked up the April 2006 issue of Road & Track, and rumor has it that the Supra will make a comeback in October of 2007. Expect the V8 Supra to be priced around $50K. A 3.5L V6 one will be around $40K, and will sport the same powerplant used in the IS350 and GS350, but tuned to produce more power. Road & Track reports this will be around 350 bhp and 275 lb-ft of torque. The Supra will be offered in both a convertible and coupe form.
Toyota's mission will be to knock the 350Z off its pedestal and the "...V-8 Supra may even give the Nissan GT-R a run for its money."
