Formerly a 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo with 54,000 miles on the clock, this stunning machine was purchased completely unmodified by National Import Racing Association (NIRA) president Craig Lieberman in June 1998. The car was to be used for advertising and promotion, so a whole host of companies participated in the building of this car such as GReddy, Eibach, Stillen, Clarion and NOS. After doing quite well touring the show circuit, the car was spotted by recruiters and selected to be the main car in the Universal Pictures film The Fast And The Furious. The car was featured prominently in the movie and was driven by Paul Walker in all the close-up and glamour shots. For lending his car for the production of the movie,Lieberman was given many souveniers including many 8x10 glossy photos of the car in action in the movie. He also served as Technical Advisor and provided dialogue assistance for the movie.
