Pics: Denso Supra Pro Car
My friend Hirokazu and I went to a local DOCOMO shop last weekend where they were showing a new DENSO car. Heres a few photos from the mini debut show. The car didnt have a motor but the rumor is that it will have a V8 rather than the conventional I6 TT. Its just amazing how the whole car is constructed from Carbon Fibre.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

The sequence of engines used for Supra's in JGTC has been 2JZ-GTE during the early years, Then they moved to the MR-2 Engine, now they're using the Toyota Tundra V8 (We've all seen Celica V8's in the drags).
Adamo, great post I love Denso!

To say the least I was amazed by that car. It's not like you see a pro-car everyday on display.

I can't wait until my local strip club has a car debut!!!
Indeed the 3sgte was a fantastic motor, I've always been curious why NA supra owners don't try to swap one of those MR-S engines in, rather than try to scrounge the $16,000 to do the 2JZ-GTE swap.

its going to have 3UZ-FE based engine running, like pretty much rest of the GT500 class Supras.
for the non-Toyota peeps, its the 4.3L block in LS/GS 430, block will be punched out to be 4.5L

Why couldn't they put the 4.3L GS 430 engine in the IS300 (like on Rides) and sell it......in sick.
