Slink116 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Went to Toyota world fort Dunlop for some parts, there was one looked similar parked up at the servicing area, I was told it belongs to the manager of Toyota world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luxluc Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Lot of money for nothing special considering the specs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LasseV Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Lot of money for nothing special considering the specs. But it's got a good spec doesn't it? Brembo brakes, 18" works and that titan box costs a lot. Euro is going downhill, so nowdays building car like that costs like 20 grand euros for just parts alone...

Kendo11 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Posted a while back, obviously still not sold. Nice car, decent enough spec, it's not a GT500 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) An automatic "historic DTM car", how quaint..... And expensive. AFAIK no Supra MKIV has run in the DTM. This is the class of stuff running in the revival, most are £120K Sterling plus cars, with correct history and provenance. Sounds a ;laod of bull to me. An overpriced hobbled together show car. What's the betting it's never seen a scrutineering bay and would never pass scrutineering, nor is it even eligible for the series.

Pudsey Posted December 26, 2015 Author Share Posted December 26, 2015 Cricky 11j front, and 13j rear. Bet that sticks to the track pretty damn well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wjswingler Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Seen this 2002 350z for sale, not sure how much these are worth but doesn't £150,000 seem a little excessive? http://www.motorsportauctions.com/category/439/Drifting/listings/34502/Nissan-350Z-Tokyo-Drift.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Engine is a 3S-GT isnt that the same engine as the 6th gen Celica(st205) and MR2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheefa Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Looks familier and don't see anything very special to warrant 40,000 euro Totally agree. You're paying a huge premium purely for the livery it seems. Spec is nice but nothing overly special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Totally agree. You're paying a huge premium purely for the livery it seems. Spec is nice but nothing overly special. Agreed it has some nice bits but not £30,000's worth, is it even a £15,000 car ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

and1c Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Is it an Auto??? Looks like it? Way overpriced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Is it an Auto??? Looks like it? Way overpriced. It's got supposedly a modified Titan autobox in it which is a plus but i'd need to see some proof of that as the advert simply isn't 100% accurate and even if it did its still way too much money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Way too much money for what is a basic singled Auto with moderate power with a imitation wrap. The fact it still has most of the internal trim, with an unapproved cage shouts show car to me, not built for a series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex_GT Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 The MKIII Supra took part in some DTM events, but not the MKIV. Seriously one of the dumbest adverts ever. Regardless of the car or the asking price, it's that the entire foundation for the car's existence is complete bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) I just had a look at the youtube links at the bottom of the advert, seeing as the post generated some comments. Looks as though a german team built and raced the car in a DTM 'revival' series back in 2014. Great to see someone out there who 'has been' still flying the mkiv flag in competitive racing.

Dnk Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 (edited) Looks like its just for show to me and no racing going on, same goes for other footage I can find so screams B/S to me that this car was built to do this series. Its as good as a trackday session for old touring cars from the 80's and 90's Edited December 27, 2015 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted December 27, 2015 Author Share Posted December 27, 2015 Is it actually a race ? No idea. The videos looked serious enough though, certainly more than a track day I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 No idea. The videos looked serious enough though, certainly more than a track day I would say. Search for DTM revival 2014 and I can't see any racing taking place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
