Toyota GR Supra GT4 100 Edition

The GR Supra GT4 100 Edition is one of three examples that Toyota will produce. It is a car used by the Japanese manufacturer to celebrate the delivery of 100 Toyota Gazoo Racing Supra GT4 racing cars. Each car will cost 220,000 euros.

The limited edition is powered by a turbocharged 3.0L 6-cylinder engine, taken from the GR Supra GT4 Evo, with 430 hp (320 kW) and 479 lb-ft (650 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift.

This model is finished in Plasma Orange, equipped with a larger opening on the hood, new dive plane aerodynamic devices at the front to improve downforce, an exhaust system without silencers, carbon fiber wing mirrors, and endurance LED headlights. The car is not GT4 homologated, so it is road legal.

Inside, there are two racing seats with belts, embroidered “100 Edition” logos and a unique badge on the carbon fiber part of the dashboard.

Manhart Alpina 2002 TII based on the BMW 2002 Tii

Between 1971 and 1975, BMW produced the Touring version of the 02 Series, the 2002 Tii, as the replacement for the 2002 ti. Now this model was the basis for the third modified car of Manhart’s Classic Cars department, the Manhart Alpina 2002 TII.

The Alpina 2002 TII is powered by a front-mounted 2.0-liter M10 4-cylinder engine with 200 hp (147 kW) and 159 lb-ft (215 Nm) of torque. As a reminder, the 2002 Tii has 130 hp (96 kW) and 131 lb-ft (178 Nm) of torque. Power increase was done by installing K&N airbox and ALPINA engine tuning with EMU Classic ECU. The engine is paired with a BMW E21 323i 5-speed manual transmission.

The tuner installed Raab coilover suspension by KW for sporty handling, Wiechers strut for more body stiffness, 25-mm spacers front and rear, ALPINA wheel arch extensions, brake system of a 323i model from the successor series E21, MANHART exhaust system, single gas system and distributor from ALPINA, and original 16″ ALPINA rims with 215/40R16 and 225/40R16 tires.

This car is finished in Agave Green with light green and silver decorative stripes over the body, and lettering of the characteristic ALPINA decal set. Inside, sports seats by Scheel are upholstered in black fabric with bright green and blue stripes, and there is also a Clubsport roll bar at the rear.
