Remember the old day with the cool but not so great Toyota Supra, well it seems as if the car has been given a new lease of life. Smokey Nagata decided to take out his tuned up Top Secret Supra twin turbo V12 out for a spin on the Nardo Ring test track in Italy, which makes a change as he normally tries out his cars on the road.
Well the guy managed to take his car up to 222 mph (358 km/h) on the race track; however Nagata was not pleased with the top speed as he was targeting a speed of 248 mph (400 km/h). The Top Secret Supra uses a V12 twin turbo which instead of the standard 276 horsepower, manages to pump out over 1000hp thanks to all the unique tuning.

it can go.
nice to see and hear of vision in people still today with cars and fabricating. I went to school here to learn how to tig weld and love it, just like the old days of oxy fuel, less the heat. I am slowly starting to do some custom welding and have a prospective client who has an old 340 classic muscle car with rusty heads I tole him why not fabricate a stainless header and 4-2-1 exhaust for your heads, port them and tune it.
