Once again, Nagata-"smokey"-san has done again. This time his Tokyo Auto Salon ace was his v12 twin turbo Supra with totally wicked body-kit. From the publications I've read, the job was totally customized, particularly the engine bay to fit the twin turbo's, the mating of the Supra's 6 speed Getrag tranny to the Century's engine, new throttle body which dispensed the the electronic TB of the Century for 2 Pulsar N15 TB's, custom radiator's which are fitted at the back (Similiar to the Group B Audi Quattro). Any more info about the car and his other creations do share here

so he's the one with the V12 supra.
but its only 500+ bhp....and smokey's supras and skylines top up at 1200++ bhp....

probably he's done it for the smoothness of the engine

according to the interview in Banzai magazine, was about time as he was aiming to complete it before the Tokyo Auto Salon. Now that that's done, it's back to dyno and the goal is 1000whp

so we will see this car competing in the D1? no?

of coz not...

dis car is not for D1

imagine if u have this car in kl... and the flood comes... muahuahua

....................

but i would prefer the 6-cylinder engine instead, this V12 is going to output a lot of torque - making it very hard to drive

this is madness!

I really like the custom headlights. Nice.

Nice paint job and custom head lamp. Did you guys notice the carbon fiber side mirror? Got the signal light indicator. Haha

Nope, it's too heavy and was meant for different purpose. Nagata's fav past time, doing the Wangan rounds

Depends but at least it's something fresh and new and pushes the boundaries. VQ35DE R32, RB25 350Z, 3S-GTE and RB26DETT Supra's. All breaks boundaries of what can be done mechanically. I suspect this car would be nuts for doing the Midnight Shoutoku Run

IF he dares bring it out again for the run
judging by the supra's cd values, he can hit 300km/h faster than what he did in the skyline

he admitted, before this v12 supra was built, his previous supra with rb26det was the fastest car he had.....

this v12 supra still in development stage i guess.... not fully modified yet...

And who says he daren't judging by the Option Video where he took it out for a "cruise" (God knows what he did behind the scenes). After all, he's got to maintain the title of the fastest among the tuners at all costs (Remember his 341 km/h run on the autobahn using the RB26DETT Supra?). And yeah, I won't be surprised if it does past 300km/h, the question is, can he break his current record of 341km/h?

You're right on that as he himself admitted priority was to get it up and running in time for Japan Auto Salon 2007. Now that's over, time for him to tinker underneath the hood like he suggested in the last scene of the Video Option segment where there was another v12 block disassembled. 1000bhp and tons of torque FTW

EDIT: Just for speculation reasons, do you think the new bumper if using the original 2JZ-GTE can accomodate a v-mount setup? Looks like it's possible judging by the space

I think the picture needs to be resized smaller!

from a lamborghini gallardo? looks like one though..

from my humble naked eye, it will fits just nice..

it does look like it but it is not. This one is totally custom made.

i guess the v12 already accumulate the whole engine bay area... the new elongated bumper is to house the intercoolers and radiator.....

correct me if wrong...

lol that was totally cool of him to do that, but if he manages more than 900lb/ft of torque, this car can totally own the other supra. im guessing it could, due to the extra grunt a V12 engine has.

BTW, the new bumper makes it look like an S2000 I dont think the original bumper can accomodate the fan for any V12 engine, although i'm guessing that a v8 might fit - ngam ngam. looks like he elongated the front by at least four inches.
