In the 1990's, Toyota came out with a new sports car, the Toyota Supra. It was a revolution in sports cars. Unfortunately the 300hp diminished in production and by 2000 only 20 cars were produced per year. The last supra came off the production line in August of 2002. For 8 years the car was forgotten and not produced. Now in 2010 the new Toyota Supra got a 21st century makeover. The new supra is still a prototype but will be in the 2010 Chicago Auto Show. There are 2 versions of the car:A hybrid and a normal version( the White car is the hybrid). The estimated starting price for the car is between $40,000- $70,000, which is a pretty good price compared to the fact that it matches up against the $1.5 million Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. Don't be fooled by the hybrid, its not a Prius (its brakes work). It packs a power yet clean 400 horsepower engine. The other version, the sport version, has a V6 3.5 liter engine, giving it around 340 hp, or a V8 5.0 liter engine, giving it around 450 hp. There are a lot of new comments about the new supra. Most people are excited that its back.
"Welcome back! It's good to finally see some signs of life and enthusiasm from the maker of vehicular appliances. I knew it was in them somewhere... " says a fan!
If you're willing to go see the supra head down to the Chicago Auto Show this week to see the prototype.
