Toyota Supra 3.0 GT (MA70) by ignition model

Following the arrival of the silver Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) model (earlier post), now a silver Toyota Supra 3.0 GT (MA70) model was added to my collection (here you can see the Ebbro version I got back in 2010)! The specific ignition model has lowered suspension, 18” BBS wheels, front lip spoiler, genuine rear spoiler mounted and Recaro seats. The model is limited to 160 pcs only.

Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) by ignition model

Another ignition model arrived straight from Japan! This time, I ordered the Toyota Celica XX 2800GT (A60) in Silver / Gun Metallic colour (IG0710). The specific model has lowered suspension and cambered 14” wheels (onikyan 鬼キャン), Recaro seats and a dual muffler. I already had a very nice Celica XX model by Dism (earlier post), but this is a very beautiful model and limited to 160 pcs only!

New Toyota Supra is finally coming in 2019...?!

A Supra successor is an ongoing story at least since 2010 (earlier post), but it may actually happen after all. It's not a secret that Toyota is working with BMW for the development of a sports car, but no one knows what kind of car it will be. With Toyota already having the 86 in its lineup (earlier post), due for replacement in 2020, the collaboration between the two companies would make sense if Toyota would introduce another sports car, bigger than the 86.

According to the information published by Mag-X, the new Supra will be launched in April 2019. Power will come from a turbocharged petrol engine, despite the fact that at the beginning of the project, Toyota's hybrid technology was considered. The new Supra will be fitted with a 4-cylinder 2.0L engine, as well as a 6-cylinder 3.0L engine. The 2.0L engine is likely to come in two versions, one producing 200 ps / 32.6 kgm and the other one with an output of 258 ps / 40.8 kgm. The targeted fuel economy is 16.5 km/L. This will be possible due to the low weight of 1,350 kg, thanks to the use of carbon fibre.The price is expected to be below 4,000,000 ¥ (around $40,000).

New Supra may not be dead... yet - Part 2

A few weeks ago, it was reported (earlier post) that a Supra successor may still be on the cards, with a likely launch date in 2013. Well, now there is another Japanese publication claiming the same thing, mentioning that it will be powered by a 3.5L V6 engine + an electric motor, with a total power output of 400 PS and a fuel efficiency of 15.0 km/L.

New Supra may not be dead... yet

As with the NSX successor, there have been a lot of rumours during the last few years about a new Supra. Well, there are still rumours coming from Japan that the FT-HS concept, which was a study showing how the new car could look like, may not be the end to this story. After all, Toyota wants to go after Nissan and the new Z, which is coming in 2013 (earlier post), may face some strong competition from Japan...!

Toyota 2000GT & Celica XX MA63 scale models arrived!!!

It has been quite some time since I order those models and now they finally arrived! Since eight models arrived in total, there will be a few posts containing photos of the actual models. So, here we go... first are the Toyota ones!

The first one is a 2000GT Prototype by Ebbro (earlier post) and the second one is a Celica XX (aka Supra) MA63 2000 G-turbo model by Dism (earlier post). The later one can also take a couple of batteries and have the lights on!!!

More photos after the jump!

Toyota Celica XX MA63 2000 G-turbo scale model ordered!

Yet another order for a Toyota Celica XX MA63 2000 G-turbo scale model by Dism (ディズム). The model should arrive hopefully this month, along with the other models ordered (earlier post + the additional order for the Mazda RX-7 Type R Bathurst X (FD3S) model).

A Toyota Supra rendering from the past...

Back in 2005, a Japanese magazine published a rendering of the future Supra. Well, I don't think a new Supra will come out, but in any case it's a funny approach as this rendering is something between the last-gen Supra (A80) and Toyota's legendary 2000GT...!

Bad black Supra (セリカXX) A60!

Check out this beauty!!!
