Toyota GR Supra Paul Walker

A 1994 Toyota Supra driven by Paul Walker was sold in Las Vegas three months ago. Now Tom’s Racing has decided to produce three copies of this model as a tribute to Paul Walker.

The GR Supra is finished in Matte white like the Supra used in the scenes of the movie “Fast and Furious”. The project is the result of a collaboration between Tom’s Racing and Safari.

The Supra is powered by a 3.0-liter engine with 420 hp (313 kW). That is, compared to the base model, an increase of 38 hp (28 kW) thanks to the Power Box. The engine is paired with an eight-speed sports automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. It rides on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels.

Inside, the seats upholstered in leather are more sporty, and there are carbon patterns for a better atmosphere.

The car is based on the 2020 GR Supra ZR with a wheel base of 2470 mm. The length of the car is 4380 mm, width 1865 mm and height 1290 mm. It is equipped with a rear wing like the one on the Supra A80 and a new adjustable suspension.

Paul Walker was a big fan of the Toyota Supra model. This limited model will sell for 12.97 million Yen, which is just under $ 117,000.

Mansory RS7

One of the most popular tuners in the world, Mansory, has unveiled its new work, the Mansory RS7. Some people think that their projects are “too much”, but there are also those that are really great. Such is the case with the Mansory RS7 which is based on the Audi RS7.

Mansory painted the RS7 in Nardo gray, and gave it a more aggressive look. It is equipped with many carbon components such as a massive front splitter and a prominent rear diffuser, as well as a small rear spoiler. Additional smaller air vents can be seen at the front of the wheel arches. More massive carbon sills also attract attention.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in a combination of black and blue leather with white accessories and seams. The steering wheel is upholstered in leather and decorated with carbon, and Mansory has replaced the Audi logo on the steering wheel with his own. Even the floors are made of leather.

Under the hood is a modified twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 engine with 780 hp (574 kW) and 738 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque. Reaches 62 mph (100 km / h) in just 3 seconds. The base RS7 runs the same engine but with 591 hp (435 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It rides on 22-inch forged rims type “Y.10” with Continental 305/25/22 tires.

The Mansory RS7 achieves such high performance thanks to a modified ECU unit, a high-performance exhaust system and a sport air filter.
