Toyota has partnered with legendary Japanese tuner HKS to produce what will perhaps be the most antisocial car to run up the hill at this week"s Goodwood Festival of Speed a 690bhp, 2JZ-engined Supra. Yep, Toyota"s new baby has had its BMW-sourced 3.0-litre straight-six ripped out, and in its place sits the iconic engine from the mk4 Supra. Of course, it"s not the first time we"ve seen this done to the new car, but to have Toyota themselves backing the project and running the car at Goodwood does send out a bit of a statement. It"ll be a smoky statement too, because HKS has set the car up for drifting and it"ll be slid up the hill by Japanese driver Nobuteru Taniguchi. He"s the man who won the first-ever season of the D1 Grand Prix professional drifting championship back in 2001 so he should be able to put on a bit of a show in the West Sussex countryside.
