A Pair Of Tamon-Flavoured Supras

  
 For my second to last spotlight from the Tuning Car World Showdown I wanted to concentrate on a pair of Supras that Tamon Design had on display. In the first general post from the event I showed you the red JZA80 that they also had, which is a more sedate version of the aero kit fitted to the two cars here.

Hear the name ‘Toyota Supra’ and an image of the fourth generation model sold between 1992 and 2002 will likely come into your head. But while the JZA80 is certainly the most popular and valuable of all the Supra models, the third generation cars are not to be overlooked. Check out this radical example I found at the recent Street Neo Classics show.

Too Much Is Never Enough: A 1,294whp Supra


 
Think Gatebil and it’s not hard to conjure up thoughts of mutant creations with mind-blowing four-digit horsepower outputs being thrown sideways at speed. And there’s a good reason for that, because when it comes to building cars – especially crazy-fast cars with outside-of-the-box thinking – Scandinavia does it like no other.
