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!

Mitsubishi Galant Σ Hardtop 1984 brochure

Between 1976 and 1987 over three generations, the Mitsubishi Galant sedan sold in Japan was suffixed with the "Σ" badge. This a brochure of the 5th-gen Galant Σ Hardtop (E15A型), definitely one of the most beautiful Galant models produced.

Toyota Celsior F Package 2004 model by WiT's

The Lexus LS wasn't available in Japan until 2006. Until then, a domestic version badged as Toyota Celsior (トヨタ・セルシオ) was sold in Japan. This is the third-gen Celsior / LS (F30型) and the actual model colour is called White Pearl Crystal Shine. Although the photos cannot show the beauty of the colour, in real life, it is very impressive indeed!

Mitsubishi GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model by WiT's

Mitsubishi GTO (aka 3000GT) is one of my favourite Japanese sports cars from the 90s and WiT's produced two models of it. The first one was the GTO twin turbo 1990 model, while the other one was the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 model. Unfortunately, my absolute favourite version was the 1994–1997 Z15A, but since I couldn't find it as a model, I opted for the GTO twin turbo MR 1998 one.

Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B model by WiT's

This Subaru Legacy Touring Wagon GT-B 1997 model is definitely going to look very nice along with my other Legacy models (earlier post)!!!

Honda Civic Type-R EP3 model by WiT's

The Honda Civic Type-R EP3 model was the only Civic Type-R missing from my collection, so now with the arrival of this model, it is complete!

Toyota Land Cruiser 70 model by WiT's

Back in 2014, I asked my contact in Japan to buy for me a few WiT's models, but it wasn't until this week that I arranged to have them delivered. It was a good thing that I bought them back then, since WiT's closed in March 2016. That's really a shame, as their models were among my favorite ones, and also, they had planned some very nice models for the future that I intended to buy (e.g. Lexus LX 570 2015年型, Lexus RX 450h F SPORT 2015年型, Lexus GS F 2015年型 & Mazda Eunos Cosmo 20B Type SX 1994年型 ).

The production of the Toyota Land Cruiser J70 stopped back in 2004, but in 2014, Toyota decided to put it into production for just one year (earlier post)! That was for celebrating the 30th anniversary of the model. WiT's released two versions, a van and a pickup. Although I was after the van version, I finally got the pickup one... Still a nice model to have in my collection though!

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).
