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

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

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

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

No decent set of tyres are gonna be able to stand that sort of abuse for street usage man

YEah, didn't notice that actually. V8 huh? hmmmm.....but HKS already did that for their Supra drag car which holds a few records now
