Sexy Maria Plays Catch The $100 Bill In 1,200HP Supra

You can whine all you want about this scene of beautiful Instagram model Maria Doroshina trying to pick up $100 bills in a 1,200hp Supra, but at the end of the day, it's all about the money (and the promotion).

No silly, not the $500 laid out on the dashboard in $100 bills; that's just the bait for viewers. 

Doroshina's looks and racy outfit together with the strategically positioned camera in the Supra will likely draw in viewers by the hundreds of thousands over the coming weeks and months, netting both her and the channel profits, either direct or probably more so, indirect by getting their names out there. 

So, will you watch it?

Gundam Style 2013 Toyota Auris Hatchback

The new 2013 Toyota Auris was selected for a cosmetic tune dedicated to the anime cartoon, with the Japanese automaker's in-house tuning arm Modellista taking responsibility for the transformation.

Modellista chose Char Aznable, a fictional character from the Gundam franchise, as its inspiration for the re-styling of the new compact hatchback.

After fitting the car with an aero package consisting of a deep front apron with LED daytime lights, hood vents, rocker panels, a roof spoiler and a new rear bumper with a diffuser and quad tailpipes, Modellista then applied a foil wrap in red for the body and in carbon fiber for the roof.

The Auris Char Aznable rides on a set of black 18-inch alloy wheels and also features changes inside, including red accents on the dashboard, steering wheel hub and gear shifter.

The only mechanical upgrades made to the car are the sports exhaust system and a lower and stiffer suspension.

2013 Toyota Auris Hatchback

In Japan, the Auris is available with a choice of two four-cylinder petrol engines. The base 1.5-liter unit produces 107hp (109PS) in the front-wheel drive (FWD) model and 103hp (105PS) when opted with AWD. This engine is linked exclusively to Toyota's Super CVT-i (Super Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent) and can be optionally combined with a fuel-saving Start/Stop system.

The larger 1.8-liter unit is available only with FWD and generates 140hp (143PS) in all trims expect the RS Grade that gets a sports exhaust system to lift output to 143hp (144PS). Buyers can choose between a 6-speed manual and the Super CVT-i.

Those looking for a sportier appearance can opt for the Modellista variants that are fitted with a grounds effect kit and larger alloy wheels or choose from a selection of accessories from the firm's TRD shop.

Toyota said it has set a monthly sales target for Japan of 2,000 units with prices ranging from 1,710,000 Yen to 2,250,000 Yen (US$21,600-28,400 / €17,300-22,800).

Toyota FT-Bh Concept

The concept is close in size to today’s Yaris, at 3,985mm long, 1,695mm wide and 1,400mm tall, with a 2,570mm wheelbase, but it tips the scales at just 786kg (1,732 lbs).

And this despite the fact that its hybrid powertrain, which comprises a two-cylinder, 1.0-litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with an electric motor, is heavier than the three-cylinder 1.0-litre unit (weighing about 60kg / 132 lbs) used in the Yaris.

This means that the combined mass of the bodyshell, interior trim, chassis and electronics had to be reduced by around 340kg (750 lbs).

Toyota says that the FT-Bh can achieve an average fuel economy of 134.5mpg UK (111.9mpg US or 2.1lt/100km) with CO2 emissions of just 49g/km.
