CHRIS RADO’S 2500HP SUPRA...STREET CAR?!


The Mentalist sometimes remembered as Chris Rado has been creating secret plans to build his even more mental street car. Of course, for someone who pilots a 2000hp drag car and the his 1500hp time attack car, his meaning of street car is somewhat more than what you or I might even imagine. For Mr Radical, his ultimate street car is this Toyota Supra. Metal wide-body, custom wheels, custom brakes. And a twin turbo V8 producing 2500hp?!!!!!!!


Engine?! which one you ask? This is a 6.2 Toyota 3UR-FE V8 which can rev to 10,000 RPMs and handle up to 3.5 bar of boost. These engines is typically found in most late model Toyota Pick-ups mostly aimed to USA.



Brembo Italy worked in conjunction with Race Technologies here in the US to come up with this custom Brembo GT-R kit for our Supra. 15-inch rear calipers. Some people have smaller wheels than that!
