Supra concept...... not what you're thinking

[boostadikt]

Last year i went to california for an auto tech trip (yay for me being #1 in auto competition)..... anyways we went to the toyota Museum, and they basically had everything there it was freakin sweet. but they had this supra concept there that i have never seen. its kinda old school too, ive had the pics laying around for almost a year so i decided to finally put them up.

Guess what else they had at the museum......... thats right a MKIV with about 100 miles on it:aigo: i can only imagine what that thing could sell for $$$.

I dont know if this is old news to some of you, but if so shed some light on the subject.

here you go

[robbo185]

was this a concept for the MKIV or MV?

i dont really care for it. The front looks liek a dsm mixed with a mid 90's ford escort and the back looks like a lincoln mark wahtever

[boostadikt]

yeah i think it was for the MKIV, its somewhat ugly

[Big Wang Bandit]

Sweet!

If i had that MK4 with 100 miles on it I would try to put 10k in the first year of ownership!

[oscolivar1]

why is that back rim like that...
i would like to see the eninge of that concept too..

[RacerXJ220]

Toyota needs to hire the same designers who made the MK3, hehehe.

There is no engine. It's not a full car. Just a body with some wheels and windows. There's no interior. Just some carpeting and wheel.

I've been to that museum. They had that thing stuffed somewhere behind some other cars when I was there. I'm not even sure it's made out of metal. They didn't have the hood popped on the Supra either.

Too bad there's no A70 there... The MK2 is nice though. There's a neat convertable late model celica there too.

the only imperfection I saw on the Supra were a few bent Ic fins.

[oscolivar1]

if that SUPRA ever went on auction and i got it somehow.
i'd keep it stock, garaged and only driven like 2 times a week

And that it is MSB. Sorry... someone had to do it.

The concept looks a lot like my friend's old Mazda.

[jmanbball]

It kinda looks like an eclipse:dunno:

[theKnifeArtist]

looks like a nissan silvia or some kind of nissan

Look at Joe being gangsta.

[OneJoeZee]

It's probably not going anywhere.. IIIRC they weren't interested in selling it anytime soon. No point. It is a museum piece with rediculously low miles and should stay that way and where it is. The rest of the Supras though.. who cares how many miles are on them? I don't :]

Uncanny resembalance. They must of sold that design to Isuzu lolol

[oscolivar1]

i just want to see how the supra drives when only 100 miles were on it.
even for the mk3 i wonder how it felt right out of the factory...

I guess Mitsubishi ripped off the rear end

[Big Wang Bandit]

Mitsubishi got the back and isuzu got the front.

Punk'd!

btw, the concept car is probably where alot of the ideas for the SC came from

[JustAnotherVictim]

^ Sc is the first thing I thought when I saw it.

If that Supra ever went on auction and *I* got it somehow, I would keep it stock, garaged and drive it like I fucking stole it.

Just like I drive all my other Supras.

Supras were meant to be driven.

[boostadikt]

they had the concept for the SC there as well, there was no MKIII but like joe said, there was one super clean MKII

[OneJoeZee]

pretty sure the curb weight on that Supra is off.

[boostadikt]

maybe not for a hardtop..... but i dont remember if it was targa or not

[Big Wang Bandit]

Its fat americans that make supras heavy!*

[LilMissMkIII]

That concept is disgusting!!!! So glad it never went into prodction!!!!

[johnathan1]

Wow, Toyota has made some hideous concepts cars. :barf:

[OneJoeZee]

concept cars by nature are usually pretty ugly.

[BorHor]

Wow, Toyota has made some hideous concepts cars. :barf:

What company hasn't though? Atleast it didnt come out that way in the end lol

[Syris]

looks like a mazda mx6

[jmanbball]

That concept is disgusting!!!! So glad it never went into prodction!!!!

It did go into production, aka the Mk IV, albeit with heavy revisions

(if you meant to put a "*" by the end of your statement, disregard mine)

[Rajunz]

That car was designed in the early 90's, that's why it resembles so many of the cars mentioned here. Back then it was right on par with styling designs of that era.

[PROJECT N00b]

where is that place at?

[bobiseverywhere]

that concept looks like it came strait out of a late 80's, early 90's Sci-Fi Flick :)

I am willing to bet that the Supra was the First one off the Production Line Maybe the second one

[willfish]

i dont think I like it. the front end reminds me of a cavalier..

[gtsfirefighter]

i just want to see how the supra drives when only 100 miles were on it.
even for the mk3 i wonder how it felt right out of the factory...

It felt fucking awesome! Tight, smooth and quiet. I test drove a 92 Turbo with 12 miles on it. I was 22 years old and could no way afford it but had to drive it.

Sigh........

[rsaeini]

i can see a lot of the styling of the MK4 in that concept. mainly the fenders, doors, and quarter panels. the roof line obviously got changed a bit but i see the resemblence.

the rear does look like an eclipse or a lincoln mark8, but the front is all Nissan NX200...

well your a lucky one.


I HATE YOU:icon_evil

[OneJoeZee]

I asked my dad last night and he said pretty much the same thing.

[ChadMKIII]

Looks like they scrapped the SC concept, based the production SC off the Supra concept, and just took a couple cues from the Supra concept for the production Supra. Thank God they fixed that car before production......

I would die to have that 100 mi MKIV, and as much as I'd love to drive it I'd have a hard time doing that cuz I'd be afraid to park it anywhere or anything. I can't imagine having a 100mi MkIV scratched or anything....that would be pure agony!

[Big Wang Bandit]

I dunno about you guys, My supra has 140k Miles on it but its still tight and smooth... But not quiet.

[bowsercake]

all you need is new suspension parts and torqued bolts and screws

[KeithH]

I got to drive a TT with only about 1000 miles on it a few times. It was VERY nice. Everything was still so new and clean.

Then I had the leather in my 89T redone in 2001 with a LOT more miles on it than the TT. You know what? It felt as new and clean as that TT with just 1000 miles. Of course I have also taken pretty good care of my 89.

[PROJECT N00b]

you guys still didnt answer my question...where is this plave at?!

[trydrew]

Does anyone know the website that has all the MKIV concept stages pictured on it? I saw it a while ago, but never saw it again. I can't find it...

[OneJoeZee]

probably can be found on www.mkiv.com

[csr ma71]

Looks like a jelly bean painted in a nail polish color, like every other MK4.
