It’s heading towards the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
The Toyota decision to end a nearly two-decade-long hiatus in the Supra was not met with rapturous receptions by the car’s fans. Even months later, it is still being talked about with many people, including some who mock the idea of a BMW Supra.
We can’t blame them. It was hard to match the 2JZGTE’s greatness and flexibility, so it wasn’t an option that automakers would be happy to take. It’s a hard pill to swallow , and there’s good reason.
There’s also the HKS Toyota Supra Drift Car. Before you dismiss the idea of wide-body tires-burners, know that the Supra’s engine is a 2JZ GTE, which is boosted by an HKS GTIII-4R. What is the result? The result? 700 metric horsepower or 690 horsepower. This is twice the output of the GR Supra’s engine.
What’s the answer? HKS Toyota Supra drift car is a collaboration between Toyota Motor Corporation and HKS. It’s a modified version of the famous sports car that can perform full-fledged drifting. This Supra, equipped with HKS turbo, suspension setup, Advan tires and wheels, and 620 pound-feet (884 Nm) of torque, is heading towards the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with Nobuteru Taniguchi as its driver.
The Goodwood Festival of Speed will take place July 4-9, 2019, at the United Kingdom Goodwood Motor Circuit. You might consider stopping by the area to check out this Toyota Supra Drift car.
