revival of supra?

wait... r32 ?

they have the VW GTI R32 those things are nice. So far i've only seen one of those around.

Like Razo said supra is gone. I mean look at the GTO from pontic. They brought it back but its completely diffrent. If they do bring back the supra is nothing compared to the 98's

that's the thing, Toyota has never brought back a dead name plate...

for those that say the MR2 stopped in 95, then started again in '00, they forget the sw20 (2nd generation) was STILL made from 96-99 in Japan, so it wasnt really "dead"...

yea i've realized that. MR2's and rx-7's were on the same boat.

...as for R32, im assuming you mean the Skyline GTR...

well, it'd be the V35...

and that's coming as an Infiniti in 06-07...

V36, and the V6 they're gonna use is supposedly being tuned to rival a Porsche Flat 6.

if toyota started producing 2005 supras that were exactly the same as the 98's dont you think they would sell them? you can get a brand new...errr....old...supra with the 2jz engine...people would jump on it...and modify the hell out of them...they could even limit production to 500 and they would all sell

stock93cam- i figured 05 are out the pic but i was jus throwing it out there...

So is it the v35 or v36? and would it look like the current skyline that we have?

but wouldn't it make sense for toyota to bring back the supra? i know they dont bring back dead names but if they were to, wouldnt it be the SUPRA? jus sayin dont count me out about the supra. if the v35/36 is true then the supra is true...

i thought nissan was coming out with a R35 skyline in japan sometime in the near future...whats this about a v35...isnt the the g35 coupe? or something cause i know the g35 is the current skyline in japan

The pictures of the cars that were leaked as 'the MKV supra' were actually sketches and ideas for the Allessandro Volta, the first True Hybrid performance car... does 0-60mph in 4.06sec... So the possibility of a new supra is nil. Even though they would sell like hotcakes, its never going to happen. In fact, i heard a roumer somewhere that Toyota are not releasing any new true performance cars in the US until the Volta is mass produced (Possibly as early as 2007-08), but then again, i could be wrong.

The R35 skyline is the G35 sport coupe in America if i'm correct.

skyline doesn't mean gtr, you should know that, there are non turbocharged rwd skylines out there.

And honda already had a concept for the first true hybrid performance car before toyota i think. I read it in a magazine like a year or so ago.

and i thought they still were going to release a new supra. I heard NA V8, but that was a long time ago

Its not R35, its V35.

RB26DETT = R series, VG35DE = V series

Please God, bring me something LIKE a Supra.

Toyota needs to step up to the plate, or else I will have to get a 350Z Track or WRX STi - hell, if Mitsubishi can turn itself around, I would even buy a EVO down the road.

im with u kentra...its about that time for me to get my sports car...in the next yr or so...my friend has a 350 already so i cant buy that...im stuck wit an rx8 or a g35 as my top candidates...And the Sti is out the pic too cuz my cos is buying it this yr...the way everything looks i'd pick up a g35 because theres not a lot of aftermarket products for the rx8...

bowl- the vw r32 are nice but it will set u back 30g's...rather get an audi wit that...

uh, now i'm confused, but it's off topic anyways. always thought r32, r33, and r34 were references to either generation or chassis code. i've never heard of v in reference to a skyline.

anyways, what toyota should do is leave the actual toyota name to camrys, corollas, and the like, make scion a cheep young person's sports car company, and make lexus a high end ($40k+) sports car and luxury car brand. i don't really consider the is300 to be all that much of a true sports car (no offense to is owners!), so something like a supra replacement would be nice for their lineup. just my ideas...

Wrong..

RB26DETT
RB = series
26 = 2.6L
D = DOHC
E = Fuel Injected
TT = Twin Turbo

VG35DE
VG = series
35 = 3.5L
D = DOHC
E = Fuel Injected

I used to be a big Nissan nut.

Thats great, but its not what I was saying.

The R in R32/33/34 designates an R series engine, RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT, etc. The new Skyline has the VQ35DE, hence V35.
