Toyota And Nissan Target Goodwood As Launching Pad For Supra and GT-R50
Two of Japan's best-known sports models made a surprise appearance at this month's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Toyota's all-new A90 Supra and the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign turned up in the paddock area to much interest from the thousands of fans and then strutted their stuff by barrelling up the famous hill. Meanwhile, senior Nissan staff were at Goodwood in force to reveal the brand's just-announced GT-R50 by Italdesign. When I bumped into Nissan's design head in the paddock, he was busy explaining to the press that the firm had decided to build the car. From what I've heard, that makes Nissan's GT-R50 the most expensive Japanese car ever.Most Expensive Toyota Supra Costs $2 Million, But You Can't Buy It

Watch the Toyota Supra make its Goodwood debut
The Toyota Supra is ready to roll, even if we have to stare at a camouflaged body for a little while longer.

Toyota already said that the Supra will rely on a straight-six gas engine, mated to a dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive.
