Yahoo Autos New Toyota Supra: Here’s Our Best Look Yet at the Production Model
Something is going to happen next week with the new Toyota Supra. Toyota Europe shared a photo on Twitter of a camouflaged example that looks closer to production than any version of the car we’ve seen so far and declared that it will be at next week’s Goodwood Festival of Speed in the U.K. While this won’t be the Supra’s official debut, it seems likely that we’ll learn more about this highly anticipated sports car.
At the very least, this camouflaged car is quite revealing of the Supra’s production styling. The red, white, and blue color scheme is a bit distracting, but the car’s overall shape is clear, and details such as the headlights and wheels look pretty much final. The A90 decals refer to the car’s internal code name, marking it as clearly belonging to the Supra lineage, which began with the A40-generation car in the 1970s and ended with the revered A80 generation in the 1990s.
It’s possible that Toyota is planning to run this camouflaged Supra, which may be a pre-production prototype, in the famous hill-climb event at Goodwood next week. Whether or not that means key details about the car will be shared remains to be seen, but we do know a fair amount about the car already. It’s being spun from a joint venture with BMW, with a platform shared with the upcoming Z4 roadster, and it’s expected to use a turbocharged straight-six engine mated with an automatic transmission and maybe-we hope-a manual. Let’s hope we hear even more than that next week.
