Car Culture At Large

Hello all, this one’s a little different…On the Gazoo Racing day out at Fuji Speedway on Friday, a number of us remarked on a fleet of six Supra JZA80s driving down the main straight while we were tucking into our bento lunches. The cars were all conspicuously old and very worn looking, at least on the surface – each appearing to have covered an extraordinary amount of mileage – I’m talking a million klicks-type of levels here. The cars were obviously well-used test mules. But what were they being used for (at least on this occasion….). Continue reading at Speedhunters

Out of all the cars that Toyota had prepared for us at Fuji Speedway on Friday, this G’s Mark X G Sports Concept had to be my favorite. It’s nothing new–we have seen it before at Tokyo Auto Salon back in January–but admiring its lines under the strong summer sun, I really couldn’t keep my eyes off of it!

The idea of creating a fire-breathing performance sedan out of the new generation GRX133 Mark X seems like such a good idea now that there is nothing on the Toyota lineup to even match what the old Mark II and Chasers of yesteryear used to offer. The G Sports Concept, “G” of course comes from Gazoo Racing, is based on the top of the line 350S version of the Mark X using the same 2GR directly injected 3.5L V6 as found on the Lexus IS and GS. Being a primarily stylistic exercise, the engine has been left as is on this particular car, delivering an adequate 318 HP and smooth torque curve peaking at 280 lb/ft.

But after sampling the Modellista tuned Mark X + M supercharger that Toyota kindly prepared for us (which sells in Japan for just over ¥5,000,000 or $59,000), I discovered first hand how savage the 2GR can feel with a little bit more power. The supercharger kit would be the perfect match for the G’s Mark X giving it 360 horses and an instant throttle response with a towering 367 lb/ftm of torque.

A cross between a Prius and… a coffin? Looks like it’s been expanded and improved from how he had it before. Via Thereifixedit.com.

Our buddy Adam Zillin over at 7Tune.com has been closely following development of the FT-86, and at a recent Toyota press event in Japan, Adam took the opportunity to get the latest scoop on everybody’s favorite car of the future.

Contrary to reports that the project had been delayed, Adam was told that the car is still on track for a release in November 2011, with development about 50% complete. Meanwhile we still wait for word on how much power the car will be packing when it hits dealers.

Slowly but surely, the car is shaping up. Can the fall of ’11 come any sooner? For more, head over to 7Tune.
