Japanese Supercars War
The announcements just keep rolling in from the Tokyo Motor show. Toyota was the first to show off it's Lexus LF-A supercar earlier this year, which was rumored to only have a V8. However recent announcements from Honda confirming its Acura NSX will be a super powered V10 and even Nissan getting back in the game with the rebirth of its GT-R; also a V10. So with its competitors already promising power that could eclipse the Lexus LF-A, Toyota just confirmed that it will go with a newly designed V10 - possibly a hyrbid V10!
Man, all this reminds me of the late 90's (or was it the late 80's?), the streets were lined with NSX's, Supra's, Mitsu 3000-GT's, RX-7s and Nissan GT's. I was just a wee-boy drooling over fast cars and the hot daddies that drove them.
All these cars are slated for a 2007 release. I say, LET THE JAPANESE SUPERCAR WARS BEGIN!
