Toyota Supra "Roadster" with 2JZ power! At least almost ...

Recently updated on April 10, 2020 at 11:42 am

Is this the ultimate Toyota Supra for the tuning enthusiastic car enthusiast? The new A90 model with widebody kit from Cool racing and sharing Pandem, with cultivated 2JZ engine, with Sliding doors AND AS A Roadster (Cabriolet)! One could almost be tempted to call the car an egg-laying wool milk sow. If it weren't for the look in the vehicle registration document! The reveals namely that here no A90 Supra was modified, but an aging Lexus SC430 convertible completely turned to the left. One of the second generation as it was produced from 2001 to 2010. Students from the Japanese Nihon Automobile College (NATS) have turned it into their very own Supra Spyder.

Supra Face Swap front & back

So you never had to make any adjustments to the rigidity of the body. Because simply cutting off the roof of the real Supra would not work without extensive additional measures to strengthen it. So you saved that! That was what the Supra was for Face Swap front and behind all the more difficult. After all, both the aprons, the headlights, the bonnet and the tailgate had to be made suitable for the Supra look. The same applies to the front and rear fenders, the side skirts and the entire rear area. And then you decorated everything with a Kuhl-racing widebody kit that was definitely not intended for the Lexus V8 convertible, but the Supra standard body. And the mentioned Lexus V8 with a displacement of 4,3 liters is another important detail. Because he is not available anymore, but was replaced by the popular 3,0-liter in-line six-cylinder 2JZ-GTE with turbocharger and a maximum output of 280 PS & 432 Nm torque.

2JZ engine with NOS as back then in the MK4

The engine has been significantly revised and even with one nitrous oxide engine (NOS) and thus ensures proper propulsion. Countless other details such as the specially adapted chrome-plated 20-inch wheelset with 305 slippers and huge drop center, the stylish double doors or the idiosyncratic pandem rear with a central sports exhaust system and fixed rear wing round, including orange paint and applications in the style of the legendary MK4 Supra from Paul Walker, the visual changes essentially. Only the cabin cannot really hide the almost 20 year old base. Although there have been many changes here, such as the installation of sporty Bride bucket seats, the small Sparco sports steering wheel, the huge sound system and components for the Airride air suspension, the valve of the SC430 cannot be denied in principle.

maybe less would have been more

The result is on the one hand quite remarkable as we think, on the other hand the project has to be with the note "tinkered“Resign. Maybe a more subtle conversion would have been the better alternative. Anyway, the idea is good!
