Supra HV-R Hybrid to Enter the Tokachi 24hrs

Last year, Toyota Team SARD fielded a race-prepped Lexus GS450h in the Tokachi 24-hour enduro. The Lexus went the distance, finishing 4th in its class and 17th overall. The 2007 edition of the contest is set for July 15th, and SARD will be back with another hybrid-powered machine. This year, however, it's going to be decidedly racier -- a Supra, to be exact. It would appear that the SARD folks are looking to possibly win it this time around. The newly-announced Denso SARD Supra HV-R began its life as a Supra GT racing car and will be powered by a hybridized Super GT-spec 3UZ-FE V8 displacing 4,480cc that dishes out 480 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque.

Supra? What a joke. The German Bugatti Veyron beats the wheels off that POS.

Bugatti is not no POS French car!!! It's 100% German. All the engineering and craftsmanship was done by Germans. Only the Germans could engineer such automotive perfection.

How dare you!

yeah and calling the japanese japs isn't ignorrant?, i have to ask why is it that so many people seem personally offended by people's comments these are cars, and companies, and not your company for that matter, and whether german or japanese companies build better cars is really a matter of opinion, and personal choice

Will...you're tooooo funny! However, I don't think Htay7500 and STJ88 gets your joke (your sarcasm) on this site. You forgot to include the pixel dust and magic feel. God’s hands personally made the all of the german cars. The God of Zeus or Apollo on the 69th Heaven Cloud made all german cars before the dawn of time.
