supra_aero Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The castrol supra looks stunning. Why they or anyone else never made a kit identical to it is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JordanC Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 The castrol supra looks stunning. Why they or anyone else never made a kit identical to it is beyond me. I suppose that way it will always be one of a kind!! Shame though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jellybean Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Did the TOM's Supra use the Supra chassis? I wonder was the track extended , offset on the wheels is not very aggressive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 I love the Esso Ultron paint scheme, which is why my old TA-04R Tamiya RC Supra was painted to look like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 The top photo I posted is the Supra HV-R by the way... "The Supra HV-R is a hybrid race car based on the Super GT Supra jointly developed by Toyota and Toyota Team SARD. The four-wheel drive HV-R combines a 4.5 L V8 (480 hp) from its Super GT UZ-FE engine, a rear-axle-mounted electric motor (200 hp), and two front in-wheel electric motors (13 hp each) to generate over 700 hp (520 kW). The car weighs 2,380 pounds (1,080 kg). The Denso SARD Supra HV-R became the first hybrid race car in history to win a race when Toyota Team SARD took first place in the Tokachi 24-hour, a Super Taikyu race, on July 16, 2007. The car completed 616 laps, 19 laps ahead of the second-place finisher." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike2JZ Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 Bit of a shame that TRD has such a little dinky garage, when compared with the Nissan Nismo garage which is just on another level. Awesome cars make up for that though I guess, would love to see them in real life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pity they can't build something a bit more technically adventurous, and further away from the donor shape car You can probably count the OE MKIV parts on one hand.
