Toyota wants to manufacture a $100K V10 Lexus/Toyota Supercar? I think majority of CL members are more interested in a new 350-400HP V8 $50-60K Lexus Sedan, SUV and Coupe

Rumors have been going on for 4 years now of a Supra replacement with a V-8 or V-10. I am sure like CAddy with the C-6 Vette/XLR Caddy, Toyota/Lexus will do the same thing.

Does anyone know when the Tokyo Auto Show is held?
If they are going to show it to the public, my guess is it will be there.

hopefully Gen2 IS will be out, or at least a new engine...otherwise IS sales this year will be pretty sluggish when you can get a G35c for the same price.

Talking 2005 Lexus V10 GT

Have you guys heard the news that Toyota will debut a V10 supercar in 2005. The car will wear a Lexus badge. It will be a 2 door-2 seater with a 500hp 5.0 V10. It will cost about $100,000. Also, Toyota will reintroduce the supra in 2005. I got all this information from the september issue of Road & Track. Lets hope its true.
