The turbocharged right-hand-drive configured Supra is wearing a set of ADV.1 wheels and boasts 700rwhp. The Supra faces competition in the form of a 2003 Porsche 996-era twin-turbocharged 911 GT2. It features an engine tune, new exhaust and air box. According to the team at roadtesttv, the 911 puts out a robust 500hp and is running on street tires.
