Wild Horses: Ten Incredible 1000+ Horsepower Restomods

March 31, 2018

1998 Toyota Supra

It may not be a traditional car for a restomod, but this Toyota Supra belongs on this list. While stock Supras are decent enough cars, their humble-looking six-speed engines are known for being extraordinarily tuneable. Believe it or not, 1000 horsepower is far, far from the upper limit of what they’re capable of. However, this is such a well-done example, I had to feature it. Owned by Rob Ferretti, also known as Super Speeders Rob, it’s not a cheap car to run. It makes gas guzzlers look practically suburban. This Supra, according to Rob, costs $87 for every mile it’s driven. What a drive, though.

Countless parts of the car have had to be reinforced and upgraded, including the suspension and clutch. The brakes are only good for one stop with this ridiculous thing. The car also has to be run on specialist fuel, C16 leaded fuel to be specific. It’s a vanity project, really, but I don’t mind that. If you want a car that’s just all too eager to go beyond the 1000 horsepower mark, you want a Supra, and this is a superb example.
