Hellafunctional: Esprit Supra

Two things i love about Japan automotive culture. First, owners of badass track cars are not afriad to use them as daily drivers and second, expressway parking areas are the ideal places where owners of badass track cars  meet to take time to have a cup of coffee. Case in point the car below: the Esprit Supra. On our way home from Hellaflush Kansai we pulled into one of the many rest stops that dot the brand new Tomei Expressway. It looked totally surreal to see this fully stripped and caged monster just sitting there. The wing and rear diffuser are made out of dry carbon. I did some digging and found the aero alone runs around $8G USD! It was also running huge Endless brakes and TE37s with semi slick Hankook Ventus TDs. Perhaps the owner was doing top speed blasts down the newly paved tarmac and pulled in for a breather... one can only imagine what it must be like driving this thing.
