Japanese tuner Blitz took the
covers off its modified Toyota Supra at the recent Tokyo Auto Salon. While many
other aftermarket specialists have started to equip the Supra with wild,
in-your-face bodykits, Blitz’s completed car is a little more subdued. However,
it’s still a very striking bodykit which transforms the look of the popular new
sports car.
For starters, the Supra
presented in Tokyo has been painted in a lovely shade of matte
white that really accentuates the car’s exterior lines. Blitz then fitted it
with a set of flared wheel arches slightly wider than those equipped to the
Supra as standard. Sitting beneath the new arches are a set of tightly-spoked
20-inch aftermarket wheels from Enkei.
The front of Blitz’s Toyota
Supra is clearly the most striking area of the car and is dominated by an
enlarged bumper with a new central grille and air intake design. Some may
disagree but we think the front-end somewhat resembles a fish. Alterations made
by the tuner continue at the rear where the Supra has been adorned with a fixed
rear wing, enlarged tailpipes, and a pair of aerodynamic flics on either side
of the bumper.
There are also a number of
less obvious modifications that’ve been made to the car. For example, there are
new shocks with 96 steps of adjustment and a set of enlarged brakes. In
addition, a carbon fiber air intake has been fitted to this particular show
car’s 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine.
