Everything You Need To Know About The Ultimate HKS JDM Toyota GR Supra!

At Vivid Racing we have the privilege of building and experiencing some wild cars. Some are built for style, while many are built to try and produce the most power within a restrictive and rather small budget. For this blog, we had the pleasure of diving head-first into HKS’s Toyota GR Supra on our home turf. The way that sounds doesn’t seem to give it much justice. This isn’t any ol’ A90 spec’d with a laundry list of aftermarket bolt-ons. This MKV GR Supra was tastefully built to showcase HKS’s full MK5 Supra portfolio at the 2020 SEMA Show and Tokyo Auto Salon. For a legendary Japanese company like HKS, this build isn’t something that was to be taken lightly. They need to make an interruption and that is what they set out to do when building this car.

If you aren’t familiar with HKS Co. Ltd, they are an aftermarket automotive company based in Fujinomiya, Japan. The company specializes in creating high-performance parts designed for Japanese-made vehicles. HKS stands for Hasegawa, Kitagawa, Sigma. The brand was founded in 1973 by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, who used to work with Yamaha Motor Company, along with his partner Goichi Kitagawa and was financed by Sigma Automotive. The initials of the three were used to create the HKS brand. In today’s world, HKS is considered one of the gold standards for creating some of the highest quality aftermarket performance parts for Japanese Domestic Market vehicles.

The company has its humble beginnings in a small shed at the foot of Mount Fuji, catering to gasoline-powered engines used for farming. In 1974, they were the first company to introduce a turbocharger for commercial vehicles, and it was a hit, especially for those Japanese tuners who wanted more out of their vehicles. Today, HKS has become the brand everyone knows about when it comes to performance adders and has expanded its reach worldwide

This Toyota GR Supra features some brilliant products such as the HKS Premium Body Kit, HKS FRP GT Wing, HKS Edition Bride Racing Seats, HKS Cold Air Intake Kit, HKS Hipermax S Coilovers with Full Canceller Kit, HKS Super Turbo Muffler Exhaust System, SQV4 Blow Off Valve Kit, and much, much more.

Old Land Cruiser Wins Against the New

Toyota just unveiled the most recent iteration of their renowned Land Cruiser SUV, which is built on brand-new architecture and features a twin-turbo V-6 engine. Here, we'll remind you of the key distinctions between the current and previous versions.

The Motor:

A newly created 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with 409 horsepower (305 kW) and 650 Nm of torque has replaced the 5.7-liter V8.

The turbo pair allows the V6 to generate almost 30 horsepower more than the V8 despite having fewer cylinders. Torque increases considerably by about 108 Nm, and the engine is also more efficient than the engine in the previous iteration.

Front Exterior:

The GR Yaris hot hatch and Supra's headlight design are somewhat evocative of the new front of the LC300, which adds a touch of modernity both inside and out.

The latest generation features two front grilles, albeit one of them is small in size and extends from the bottom of the huge grille to contact the headlamps as soon as we glance at the automobile. The Land Cruiser 2022 now has a more intimidating aspect than the 2021 model, which has a massive grille that separates the headlamps into two halves.

Rear Exterior:

The slimmer LED lights in the 2022 edition, combined with a thinner back glass, made the design seem smaller than the previous car, which led many fans to prefer the older version.

The Interior:

With the addition of an entertainment system compatible with a 9-inch screen as standard and a 12.3-inch screen as an option, along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capabilities, the inside of the 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser underwent clear and sophisticated improvements.

The potential for wireless smartphone charging, a 360-degree camera, and a front screen on the windscreen are other distinguishing features.

The Land Cruiser 2021, on the other hand, has an integrated navigation system with a 9-inch touchscreen and wireless charging for gadgets. A 14-speaker JBL audio system and satellite radio are included as standard. The options menu may include a rear-seat entertainment system with two 11.6-inch screens and a pair of wireless headphones.

We appreciate everyone who voted, and please check back frequently for new Tazweed coverage.

Lamborghini Countach Lpi 800-4 2022 Pictures, Data & Specs

The further weight was compensated by utilizing carbon-fiber bumpers and skirts. By the best way, the Anniversary edition was designed by Horacio Pagani earlier than he established his personal sports activities automotive company. The 2021 Lamborghini Countach is a hybrid supercar that places out 814 horsepower and goes on to a prime velocity of 355 kph, forming a fitting tribute to an iconic model name that celebrates its fiftieth birthday this year, Pirelli said. The new automobile comes with Pirelli’s P Zero tires in 255/30R20 dimension on the new lamborghini countach entrance and 355/25R21 on the again, developed to boost car performance as well as safety, management and dealing with, Pirelli mentioned. The tire structure and compound have been optimized to succeed in the absolute best grip in all driving conditions, plus excessive ranges of traction and braking in wet and dry conditions. The V-12 engine makes 770 horsepower by itself, whereas whole system output with the electrical motor is 803 hp.

Check our detailed Ferrari price record to see precisely how much every mannequin cost. But, if you’re one of many select few with tons of money to spend on a Lamborghini, why not get an original Countach? Or one of many other V12-powered automobiles that truly helped Lamborghini turn out to be a trailblazer? It could be a good idea to look into these as a end result of all 112 models of the new Countach are probably accounted for. Outside, blending new tech with traditional style, the Countach LPI has 20-inch front and 21-inch rear "telephone fashion" wheels, wrapped in Pirelli P Zero Corsa tires. With such a propensity for pace, it has carbon-ceramic brakes to deliver sanity to all this madness.

The Lamborghini Countach 2022, in easy words, is the translation of excellence from front to back. The general shape, although it's model new, Countach somehow still mimics the unique Countach. The carbon-ceramic brakes are so highly effective that they can sluggish the car from sixty two miles per hour of speed to 0 in nearly 98 feet. If you keep the dry weight of the car in thoughts, which is 3,516 kilos, this performance may be very spectacular.

The Miura, Countach, Diablo, Murcielago, and Aventador all played their very own roles in serving to the world of supercars attain new heights. Out of all of Lamborghini’s V12-powered supercars, the Countach performs the most important position. It’s the one which new lamborghini countach solidified the Italian automaker as being the craziest of the crazy with its out-of-this-world design. At a time when nostalgia is in with the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wagoneer, GMC Hummer EV, and Toyota GR Supra, Lamborghini sees a gap to convey back the Countach.

The wedge-shaped mid-engine coupe created the template for the trendy supercar and launched the world to scissor doors when it debuted a the LP500 idea on the Geneva Motor Show in 1971 and was produced from 1974 to 1990. Unveiled throughout 2021 Monterey Car Week, the Countach LPI was built to have fun the fiftieth anniversary of the Countach’s debut. Its styling is a modern interpretation of the long-lasting wedge-shaped unique Countach, but the LPI is predicated on the outgoing Lamborghini Aventador, and features a hybrid powertrain producing 803 hp. The new Countach is being recalled due to rear glass panels which will detach from the automotive, based on the NHTSA. Lamborghini blames a provider error, saying in a recall report that the supplier didn’t accurately bond the glass panels to the engine covers of affected automobiles. The new Lamborghini Countach comes with plenty of components inspired by the enduring mannequin, including the sharp strains, creases and the 'wedge-shaped' styling.

Unveiled in the course of the prestigious main occasion at Monterey’s Car Week at Pebble Beach this week, the supercar returns to honor the fiftieth anniversary of the unique launch. The LPI seems like the quintessential one-off showpiece, however Lamborghini truly plans to construct a limited run of 112 examples, with deliveries to begin in early 2022. Its announcement does new lamborghini countach not include pricing data, however Bloomberg reports that the automobile's combination of heritage styling and Sián hybridization will command a value of $2.sixty four million. We imagine getting on the unique reservations listing will also require some pretty tight Lamborghini connections or up-to-date worldwide superstar standing.

Hennessey’s top 10 cars of all-time, celebrating 30 years of high-performance vehicle builds

It was back in 1991 that John Hennessey got married and modified his daily driver, a Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 so he could enter the Nevada Open Road Challenge (finished fourth) and the Pikes Peak Hill Climb, and make speed runs on the Bonneville Salt Flats (setting a class record 177 mph) and the Silver State Challenge (overall winner, again averaging 177 for the 90-mile distance).

Even with all that, Hennessey and his newlywed, Hope, found time that year to start a new business (he had been in the environmental remediation business), and 30 years later, Hennessey Performance of Sealy, Texas, has produced more than 10,000 high-performance vehicles for customers.

As part of its 30th anniversary celebration, Hennessey Performance shared its “top 10 cars of all time:”

1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4, entered Pikes Peak, two open-road races in Nevada and set class record at Bonneville

“Fly Navy” Venom 1000 Twin Turbo, based on 2005 Dodge Viper, won Road & Track supercar shootout that included a Bugatti Veyron.

VR1200, based on 2012 Cadillac CTS-V, ran 221 mph on Texas Toll Road.

HPE600 Corvette C7, 2013 model was first Corvette C7 to exceed 200 mph.

Hennessey Venom GT, 2010 Hennessey-built supercar that set Guinness World Record of 270.49 mph and reigned as world’s fastest production car from 2014-2017.

VelociRaptor 600, based on 2012 Ford Raptor pickup truck, but with 600 horsepower and capable of a 0-60 mph sprint in 4.2 seconds

The Exorcist, based on 2017 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 but with 1,000 horsepower and 883 pound-feet of torque, 0-60 in 2.1 seconds, top speed of 217 mph

VelociRaptor 6×6, 2017 intro of a $350,000, 6-wheel, 600-horsepower pickup truck

Hennessey Heritage Edition Mustang, 2018 intro, based on Ford Mustang GT350R but with 808 horsepower

Hennessey Venom F5, to be introduced in 2021 with 1,817 horsepower V8 and capable of 311 mph, 0-to-186 mph in 8.4 seconds

“At the end of 1991, looking back at that year of motorsport, I realized I’d learned the first rule of auto racing – if you want to make a small fortune in racing, start with a larger one!” Hennessey said in his company’s anniversary news release.

“To continue my passion, I knew I’d have to find a way to pay for it. So, I thought, if Carroll Shelby and Alois Ruf could make a living by building and modifying cars then maybe I could, too – that’s how our company began.”

In the beginning, working out of a rented garage with one other employee, Hennessey modified turbochargers and intake and exhaust systems for the 3000 GT, its cousin, the Dodge Stealth, and the Toyota Supra and Mazda RX-7.

Two years later, he created the 500-horsepower Dodge Viper Venom 550 for a customer and also produced an aftermarket hardtop for Dodge’s exotic V10-powered roadster. Hennessey helped found the Viper Club of America, and his shop rolled out the Venom 600, and then the 650, which in 1997 posted a top speed of 203 mph.

By the turn of the century, the Venom 800 and 1000 models were ready, the shop staff grew to 5 employees, and the Hennesseys had 5 children, at which point John Hennessey retired from racing.

But while he left racing, he didn’t leave race tracks and in 2004 bought the Lonestar Motorsports complex, a drag strip with return roads that he turned into a test track with a 30,000-square-foot production facility (staffed in 2021 by 50 employees and by students at the Hennessey Tuner School). 

A Venom 800 won a 16-car supercar challenge staged by Car and Driver magazine, a Hennessey-tweaked Ford GT hit 234 mph, and in 2009 development was under way on the purpose-built Hennessey Venom GT, which a Chevrolet LS9 V8 would propel to more than 270 mph.

In 2012, Hennessey headlines continued with the Texas Toll Road SH130 being christened with the Hennessey Cadillac VR1200 hitting 221 mph and the Hennessey Camaro ZL1 running 204.

At The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in 2018, Hennessey unveiled his own 1,600-horsepower F5 engine, which was designed for a new Venom supercar scheduled to launch during 2021.

Hennessey has shared an hour-long anniversary video podcast:

Honda’s sports activities coupe never really enjoyed especially strong sales during the 23 years on the market. It had been somewhat popular, but few-people realized what a gem it truly was. The reason might be right down to its increased price plus lower practicality, making it overshadowed by some of Honda’s various other offerings, such as the Accord Sports coupe. But Honda’s loss can be your gain.

The Prelude – especially the 3rd Generation Model – is almost like a baby NSX design-wise. A mere fistful associated with dollars will get you a smooth wedge design, popup car headlights, and body-hugging bucket chairs in a car with a nice looking overall personality – it also has the handling to match! The particular 4-wheel-steering equipped Si versions even outshone Ferraris plus Corvettes of the era within slalom tests.

After an entire 36 years on the market, Toyota said goodbye to the affordable sports coupe using this 7th and final era. The 7th-gen GT-S can rev up to 8, three hundred RPM and made one hundred and eighty horsepower straight off the display room floor. But it didn't finish there, Toyota Racing Advancement, or TRD for brief, offered a number of bolt-on improvements, including a performance exhaust, brief shifter, lowering springs, along with a more aerodynamic body package.

TRD even designed the supercharger for the engine, yet you’ll have to do some function to make it fit under the Celica’s hood. Speaking of what's underneath the hood, this engine is a star, Lotus used it within cars such as the Elise plus Exige.

8 Acura RSX Type-S

The particular Acura Integra was a good icon of the 90s plus proved front-wheel-drive cars can still hold their own – especially with the incredible Integra Type-R . Good luck finding one of those pertaining to sensible money these days even though. Honda tried to fill the particular Integra's big shoes using this – the Acura RSX. However , it never really achieved the same cult status since the Integra, but that doesn't imply the RSX Type-S was obviously a bad car.

The 210 horsepower, guide 6-speed transmission-only coupe has been bathed in sporty additions, like bigger brakes, sport-tuned managing, a re-worked engine, plus an optional body package reminiscent of the Type-R, enormous wing and all. You'll want to get your own sooner rather than later.

six Mazda Miata NB

This little Mazda is usually virtually guaranteed to be a good appreciating asset at this point. The first gen ‘NA’ Miatas were climbing in price for a few years currently, but the NB can still become picked up for reasonable cash.

The particular NB Miata featured numerous updates over its forerunner, most notably the deletion from the popup headlights, which is indeed a shame. However , the Miata is all about providing its proprietor with the maximum amount of traveling fun with little extras at a low cost. The NORTH CAROLINA and ND variants appear to have forgotten about the cheap part. But not this small guy.

5 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart

Consider it a baby Lancer Evolution. The particular Ralliart bridged the distance between the standard Lancer as well as the iconic top of the line Evo . It showcased the same engine as present in the Evo, albeit within slightly detuned form since it was paired with a smaller sized turbocharger.

Additionally, it had some Evo-style the rules of aerodynamics going on, including a new front side and rear bumper as well as the all-important rear spoiler. They have an understated car with a lot of potential, and it should be acquired before other enthusiasts begin recognizing it for what.

Subaru has high end and sporty covered perfectly with the WRX STI and the BRZ sports coupe . Their flagship vehicle, the Legacy, is significantly softer, more luxurious, and much more comfortable. But that does not mean there’s no space for some zoom.

There is indeed a run associated with high-performance Legacy models. Referred to as Spec. B, it showcased bigger wheels, stiffer shock absorbers, a 6-speed manual transmission – all packed in the subtle, almost nondescript package deal, unlike its STI brother.

3 Lexus SC 300

via Bestcarmag

Rear-wheel generate, 6-speed manual, 2JZ motor. But it isn’t really a Supra . The particular Lexus SC model was obviously a luxury grand touring vehicle that the company finally murdered off in 2010. We're the majority of interested in that first-generation base design though. Usually, with luxurious cars, people tend to get a bigger engine and opt for more features. But with the SOUTH CAROLINA, the entry-level ‘300’ design featured the same iconic inline-6 that made the MKIV Supra so special.

Granted, the Lexus lacked the twin-turbo set up. But just imagine the substantial aftermarket support available for this particular thing. The problem as a purchaser these days is that some proprietors are starting to become very conscious of the fact that there's a special motor hiding under the hood of the old Lexus, but discount hunters can still find good examples under $7, 000, occasionally even cheaper if you're ready to put in some work to be able to roadworthy.

The notice Z has quite a status to uphold in the Nissan family. You’d be hard-pressed to find a cheap, good condition 240/260/280z these days. But the Z31 plus Z32 300ZX might be the following best thing. By all steps, they drive better, manage better, and are more sleek than the famous Z-cars . But they never ever garnered the same degree of commitment the old Z’s enjoy – until now, anyway.

RELATED: Custom 1985 Nissan 300ZX Packs Supercharged OF V8 Power

The Z32 is certainly arguably one of Nissan’s most well-known vehicles, but it’s simple to find examples for well below $10, 000, as long as you're pleased with the naturally aspirated edition rather than the twin-turbo model. In the mean time, the Z31 still has not gotten more popular and can simply be had for less than $5, 000.

1 Honda Civic

via Wheelsage

Given that a low mileage Ford Civic Si sold for fifty dollars, 000 at auction , it might not be a bad idea to acquire a pristine classic instance yourself. You can still discover affordable examples of Honda’s bestselling compact around and if this particular trend continues, you could be sitting down on a fuel-efficient goldmine – if it’s not been mistreated or rusted through however.

The sixth-generation and older Civics are getting more expensive as we speak, specifically the performance versions. Civics from 2001 and more recent are still bargains, and perhaps better cars than their particular older siblings, if not since iconic.

Ever go to an event where all the cars were the same color?

When cars and trucks are being produced, there is an early stage known as the “body in white.” The phrase applies to completed body shells as they head into the paint shop for color to be applied. 

Perhaps taking the concept of “body in white” a giant step further, 

Guglielmo Miani, who heads Italian fashion brand Larusmiani, thought it would be great fun to stage a road rally, but only for cars wearing white paint, and thus the inaugural Fuori Concorso was held in the California desert early in 2020, with a second was later in the year on the Italian island of Sardinia.

It’s not unusual for red cars to dominate at Ferrari events, or black cars at a Model T club gathering, but what would you think about staging a car show or driving event exclusively for cars of a certain color? 

Or here’s an alternative: A car show where cars are parked neither at random nor by marque or model or model year, but by color? 

British Motor Show launches robot competition

These robots are made from car parts

Did you miss World Recycling Day? It was held recently and the British Motor Show used the occasion to launch a Car Robot Competition as part of its “Crazee Creations” category. 

So how does it work? 

“The Car Robot Competition will see showgoers able to create their own battle-style robots using old car parts, ahead of the show, to fight head-to-head in an arena, which will form a central part of the Show’s Crazee Car Corner, where you will find the weird and the wonderful, from monster trucks to modified cars,” motor show organizers announced.

“Participants are invited to design their very own robot, static or mobile, using recycled car parts. The robots will then be judged for style and creativity before a winner is announced… Teams are invited from schools, colleges, companies, or just groups of friends and individuals.”

The show’s Crazee Car Corner will feature a display of “modified cars, mental motorbikes, oddball caravans, upcycled automotive art and extreme machines. If you like the unusual, you’ll love the Crazee area.”

“The British Motor Show is about cars of all ages, shapes and sizes – it’s a celebration of cars in all their forms and the Crazee Corner is where those are taken to the extreme” said Andy Entwistle, the motor show’s chief executive. “That makes it the perfect place for visitors to create their own car robot creations and let their automotive imaginations run wild – and there’ll be some cool prizes on offer, too.”

The show is scheduled for August 19-22. For more information, visit the show website.

Beaulieu’s ‘Simply’ shows launch May 23

The 2014 Volkswagen XL1 was a diesel-electric 2-seat hybrid vehicle. Only 250 of the $130,000 vehicles were scheduled to be produced

British home computer producer Clive Sinclair also produced 1-person electric-powered tricycles called the Sinclair C5 but sold only 5,000 of them

The British National Motor Museum at Beaulieu opens its series of “Simply” car shows on May 23 with Simply Electric, a showplace for electric and hybrid cars and motorcycles and bicycles.

Organizers are particularly interested in any vintage electric vehicles and in classics that have been converted to electric powertrains.

The event will be the first of 15 such one-marque or one-type of vehicle shows scheduled to be staged this year at the British museum.
