Is this car worth $68K?

In the US I'd say yes, it is.

Over there Supras command a much higher premium than they do in the UK, especially one so high powered.

It would cost that to build ,

That turbo though

[Guest mark0006]

Looks like a very clean build.

[Abz]

That's only £40k.

 

Put it this way, can you think of any other car running nearly 1350bhp for under £40k?

[HadeS]

Also LHD is adding some value...

[Guest Nicholas]

The question is not is it worth that much money but more can you afford the up keep of such a car? Big power supra's are definitely not like small single ownership.

Infernos Supra was cheaper

I say its worth more than $68k. Sometimes wished I just bought something like this instead of doing it myself.

Think about it sensibly. It's sod all use for anything other than drag racing. Let's say you do 6 runs a week, and run every other week of the year. That's 26 x 6 = 156 runs a year. Each run is say 10 seconds. That's 26 minutes "racing" a year. It will need expensive maintenance, tyres, clutches, blah blah. And fuel.....and transporting. Let's say a VERY optimistic 10K Sterling in running costs if nothing goes wrong, (but it will....). Purchase price of £40K and another £10K a year to run and transport. £50K over one year is £1923 a minute's race time. OK, it has residual value, but whilst it's sat there or running for 10 seconds a time it's costing £1923 a minute's seat time to own and run.

 

Expensive hobby for VERY little seat time, lots of hanging about and possibly some huge bills if the engine goes pop. I would seriously doubt the BHP figure, has anything like that been on a proper, independent engine dyno? If it really had that much power and torque, and could hook up properly, gearboxes and diffs would have to be stacked up in the pits as it would break them for fun.
