Toyota has just unleashed its second wave of SEMA360 Showcase cars onto the web, featuring the 2021 GR Supra Sport Top, as well as another look at the 2020 GR Supra Heritage Edition model.
This is a prototype based on the GR Supra
Heritage Edition, featuring similar cues and upgrades, but with a removable
roof. The roof design boasts two 3D-printed composite panels, contoured to the
car’s body lines, allowing the Supra to retain the windshield header and outer
roof body structure shapes.
In order to maintain structural integrity,
additional reinforcements were added to the roof’s outer body structures, as
well as to the underbody (from the engine bay to the back of the tub). Other
changes include a re-worked rear diffuser, new exhaust setup featuring dual
pipes in the center, MK IV-inspired basket handle wing, round taillights and
the Absolute Zero white exterior paint.
Even though this wasn’t really part of the
reveal, Toyota chose to revisit this prototype because of how popular it became
after its unveiling in 2019. It packs 500-plus horsepower (tuned turbocharger
and ECU), Re-entry Red paint, plus retro-inspired custom headlights, taillights
and MK IV-style rear wing.
To make sure that it would perform as it
should, Toyota also added bigger brakes and a custom front and rear suspension.
