HKS Drag Cars

Straight from the HKS blog, the numbers and the bragging rights.

The HKS R33 with 1300ps @ 9000rpm, its best time was a 7.671 quarter mile at Highland Drag Race Way in 2001.

The HKS R32 with 950ps @ 9000rpm, its fastest time was 8.454 in 2002 at MMC Drag City

The HKS Drag Supra, complete tube frame with carbon fibre body. The car made a astonishing 1200ps. No times available

The illusive HKS Drag 180SX, it made 1185ps @ 9000rpm, also on this car I do not have any times.

Can you guys fill in the blanks?

Preview 1

In the next few days I’m going to explain what the Speedhunters project is all about. But for now here’s another sneak preview of what to expect. This clip was shot at The Battle Of The Imports

Sard JZA80 Supra

Another red car, but this one is a bit special. The car has been build Sard in Japan with a custom one off bodykit. Sard is known for there fuelling products but they also race with a Toyota Team SARD JZA80 Supra. The bodykit used for that race car is the same one as you see on this car. The owner got the bodykit from the SARD racing team.

A true wideboy, the kit is made from carbon, so expect some serious cash if you want something similar.

The exhaust is made by HKS and was specifically made for this car, the spoiler is a one off made by SARD

19″ Work Meister rims, and an adjustable Aragosta suspension makes sure this car has the right ride height

Here is a nice clip were you will hear the car race through a tunnel

Top Secret Top Speed runs

Here are some nice video’s from the previous top speed runs that ‘Smokey’ Nagata did. Everything is being filmed by Chiba Kun. Nobody knows who Chiba Kun is all we know is he races the Wangan at midnight.

This is a clip where you will see Smokey do 211MPH (341km/h) on the German Autobahn. His car of choice was the Nissan V35 GT-R, it featured a V8 from the Nissan Q45. The car output was around 800hp

Here you see the Top Secret V12 Supra in action on the Shuto Expressway. He also explains why he is called Smokey, if we didn’t allready know that 🙂

This is were it all started for me, here you see Smokey getting caught by the UK police. This was my first introduction to Top Secret. The car he used was a Toyota Supra with a RB26 onboard, he passed the 300km/h barrier.

 

GT-R contender

The last few days I have been checking what was driving around the Nürburgring in Germany, I live a three hour drive from the circuit 🙂 Al these rumors about the new Spec V and Lexus LF-A had made me curious. Now Lexus has even upped the ante with this ‘new’ LF-A. They have showed up at the track with this monster and I mean that in a good way.

This car looks more like a race prepared car than a normal LF-A road car. The car has a newly designed front bumper with a bigger airdam and canards.

From the side I think it looks alot like the old Supra, so this to me this will be the successor of the Supra. Massive rims hides the even more impressive brake assembly, and we can see a quick acces fuel cap.

In the rear we see this huge spoiler for extra downforce, I’m not sure wether this car will be has been build to break the record at the Nürburgring or that Lexus is testing their 24 hours Le mans entry. Their are rumors that Lexus will be entering this years race.

Top Secret Supra V12 does 358km/h at Nardo

Top Secret just made this announcement that they made a record speed of 222mp/h or 358km/h on the Nardo cicruit in Italy. They haven’t managed the 400km/h barrier but this was a first preliminary test to see how the car would react on the circuit. So I guess now all systems are go and that Top Secret will succeed in their quest for the holy grale

This picture was taken at the Top Secret shop when it had the older graphics designed by MSR

The V12 comes from a Toyota Century, and is being aided by two turbo’s. The total horsepower output of the car is just shy of a 1000ps. The car uses the Final Evolution Widebody kit designed by Top Secret
