Build by Toyota motorsports partner Gazoo Racing, the GRMN iQ Supercharger is just the sort of concept car that's too wild to ever become a reality. Right? Wrong!

To the surprise of, well, everyone, Toyota has announced it will offer a limited production of the car, which was unveiled in its second-generation prototype stage today at the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Based on the 1.3-liter version of the iQ (it's largest engine option), GRMN engineers have strapped on a supercharger to increase power output from a factory 94 hp, up to 130 hp, while torque increases from 89 lb-ft to 133.

Production of the GRMN Toyota iQ Supercharger sounds good and all but price will play a major role in people buying this.

What would be a "good" price for this iQ?

Flunk the iQ! We have one of those already. How much for the supercharger kit?

5000$....

The car described only comes with a 6 speed manual. If you did buy this supercharger and fit it to a US IQ it would probably be funky with the CVT... I don't even know what it would do...
