If you're looking for something spicy at this year's SEMA Show, then check out the Toyota Supra Wasabi Concept. It wears a bold coat of green paint that evokes Japan's famously fiery food. The Toyota Genuine Accessory Team modified the car as a way to gauge consumer interest in future aftermarket offerings.
The exterior wears a custom bodykit with a huge front splitter and large strakes at the corners. The new side sills have a matching appearance with blade-like uprights at the rear. At the back, a large, flat wing attaches to the tail, and there's revised rear fascia with a pair of textured exhaust tips that exit out of the center. Toyota says the pipes have a "deep, throaty exhaust note."
The Wasabi Concept rides on 20x10-inch wheels at the front and 20x11-inch units at the rear. Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires cover them. Braking comes courtesy of Brembo B-M six-piston calipers with 15.94-inch (405-millimeter) slotted, two-piece rotors in front and four-piston stoppers with 14.96-inch (380-millimeter) rotors at the back.
The Toyota Genuine Accessory Team fits a set of Öhlins Road & Track adjustable coilovers. They have the company's Dual Flow Valve Inverted Monotube Dampers that someone can tune for low- and high-speed compression, in addition to rebound. A strut tower brace stiffens the chassis.
The crew leaves the powertrain alone. The stock setup uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that 335 horsepower (250 kilowatts) and 365 pound-feet (495 Newton-meters). It runs through an eight-speed gearbox.
