Toyota Supra IV 'Hoons' Out of Control in Southern California

A fourth-generation Toyota Supra bit the dust in Southern California when the Japanese coupe's driver XXXX (feel free to amuse us) and propelled the car over the sidewalk and onto a pole before coming to a halt on the grass. The Motive forum member who uploaded the pictures suggests that the driver was being a 'hoon' but doesn't give out any details on how the accident happened. More shots after the break.

Tokyo 2010: Toyota Supra IV Dressed Up as a 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor

There have been countless efforts to replicate the 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 Eleanor from the 2000 blockbuster movie "Gone in 60 Seconds" with Nicolas Cage. We've seen Eleanor replicas based on everything ranging from a Toyota MR2 to even -the most ridiculous of all- a Smart Fortwo.

At this year's edition of the Tokyo Auto Salon, the students from Saitama University's automotive course presented their take on the Eleanor Shelby GT500 using a fourth generation (1993-2002) Toyota Supra sports coupe as a base.

The replica, which is called "Moto Supra", maintains the Supra's six-cylinder powerhouse, though it's not clear if the students performed any upgrades on the sport coupe's hardware. More photos after the jump.
