1987 - Toyota Supra on 2040-cars
Boise, Idaho, United States
This is truly a one of a kind car. I bought her with the intention of showing her and getting into the "scene". But life has gotten in the way and she is not getting the exposure that she deserves. This car has been built with attention to the small details, you will not find a finer example of a MKIII Supra. With the widebody most people mistake this car for a newer exotic. This car is a show winner, she won Best in Show in the 2011 Northwest Supra Nationals. I have the trophys and they will go with the car. If you want a car that you will never see another one driving next to you this is it. If you want records I have a folder about two inches thick with about every receipt that has ever gone into the car. Over 70,000!! The car was appraised through a private appraisal company for 25,000 after the build. The chassis mileage is 173k but everything has been rebuilt or replaced. The engine was replaced with a JDM low mile engine and all the weak points were strengthened. ARP rod and head bolts, metal head gasket. The list below shows the amount of money invested in this car. You could have a 70,000 investment for a fraction of that price! This is a classic and the value is going up every year. Don't miss out on this one of a kind! For those who would throw out low ball offers, I am not in a situation where I have to sell her but feel that an exceptional vehicle like this should be with someone who can give her more attention and show her off. In the last year she has been under cover in the garage over 90% of the time. A couple shows and a drive every so often is about it. I'm not going to give her away...

TMG's super Lexus LS Sports 650 gets track tested
Thu, 05 Sep 2013The people at Toyota Motorsport GmbH have been responsible for the Japanese automaker's motorsports efforts since the 1970s, but since Toyota pulled out of Formula One after the 2009 season, the tuning shop has been developing a super sedan based on the Lexus LS called the Sports 650. Details on TMG's first road car have been scarce, but XCAR was recently invited to drive the 641-horsepower Lexus on track.
Here's what we know: the Sports 650 has enough power to sprint to 60 miles per hour in under four seconds, tops out at 199 mph, weighs over two tons and utilizes LFA brakes. Oh, and its twin-turbo V8 bellows like an AMG V8. That last part isn't surprising when considering TMG could become Toyota's in-house tuning arm - like AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. As for the bespoke body kit, fender flares and stacked exhaust pipes? They fit the car well and even remind us a bit of Lexus' other high-performance sedan, the IS F. Currently there are no plans for the Sports 650 to be made into a production car, but we doubt TMG is devoting this much effort developing the LS into a road-rocket for nothing.
Check out XCAR's video below to see the AMG-fighter wrung out on track, and then ponder what could be if TMG were let loose to fiddle with other cars in Lexus' lineup. Now that's something we could get used to!
Toyota sells off Tesla shares, too
Fri, 24 Oct 2014The incredible rise of Tesla's stock price has done little to now stop two major shareholders from ditching their stake in the American EV manufacturer. First, Daimler, parent company of Mercedes-Benz, ditched its four-percent stake, and less than a week later, Toyota is doing the same thing, selling off an undisclosed bit of its Tesla investment.
The move comes as Toyota winds down sales of the RAV4 EV, which gets its batteries and electric motor from Tesla at the company's Fremont, CA factory.
"We have a good relationship with Tesla, and will evaluate the feasibility of working together on future projects," Toyota spokesperson Kayo Doi told Bloomberg via email.
How Charlotte lost to Plano without even knowing it was dealing with Toyota
Thu, 08 May 2014With Toyota set to relocate its North American headquarters to the Dallas, TX suburb of Plano following a top-secret, 100-city search, the cities that missed out can now begin asking themselves what happened during a process they apparently knew little about.
That's a particularly brutal task for Charlotte, which, according to North Carolina's Secretary of Commerce, Sharon Decker, finished second to Plano. While Toyota has been fairly open about what it was looking for in a new headquarters city - direct flights to Japan, proximity to its US production facilities, a lower cost of living, high-quality educational facilities and finding a neutral site suitable to the California, Kentucky and New York-based employees that would be relocated - it's been less open about how the finalist cities, which also included Atlanta and Denver, stacked up against each other.
The Charlotte Observer has a few ideas. Part of the problem is the distinct lack of direct flights between Charlotte and Asia. US Airways, which operates a hub at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport, doesn't fly to Asia.
