Well in the past there was Nissan 300ZX Mazda RX7 and Toyota Supra. All comparable cars.

Now Nissan 350Z Mazda RX8 will Toyota come out with a new car to compare with these two cars ?

they have a new car in the pipeline, i think its called the 4000GT. correct me if im wrong on the name

Wow thats great hopfully it will be like the old days haha.

Well if you no where to find info on it let me no please.

there isnt really much information available on it at the moment, except that it should have somewhere in the region of 400hp

4000gt?? You gotta be kidding. Thats way too similar to the mitsubishi 3000gt.

no shit, really. of course 4000GT is just the concept name, the release name will be different.

I believe the Mitsubishi 3000GT appeared in the U.S. in about 1992 (still called "GTO" in japan). Then, around '95(?), Toyota re-claimed the name, at least in their home market, when TRD produced limited numbers of the special edition JZA80 Supra called the TRD 3000GT as well as the SW20 MR2-based TRD 2000GT.

So, as far as the Japanese market is concerned, and I assure you Toyota is concerned with the Japanese market, the "X000GT" names are decidedly Toyota's.

Thats great i figured they would. I wanna no more about it.

Then 4000gt would certainly be a legit name for hte nxt supra, but I think they'd have to rename it for the US Domestic market. We didnt see any of those TRD models stateside and we are certainly more familiar with the mitsubishi than the 2000gt. (the same reason mitsu didnt keep the GTO name when it landed here)

I'd only point out that the 3000GT came here in 91. And yes its known as the GTO in Japan so Toyota would have no qualms about callling it a 4000 over there.
