British tuner Litchfield, famous among the GT-R fraternity for extracting monster power figures, has now extracted something rather interesting from a different Japanese icon. The Toyota Supra. Announcing its first round of tuning upgrades for a car you probably haven"t even heard of, Litchfield says it"s managed to pump the Supra"s BMW-sourced (sorry, couldn"t resist) 3.0-litre turbo straight-six from 335bhp and 365lb ft of torque to a much more threatening 420bhp and 440lb ft. This comes courtesy of a remap, and Litchfield admits that these are "considerable gains even when a standard Supra is producing numbers closer to 370bhp" (on the company"s own dyno). Hmmm.
