The
new-generation Toyota Supra is one of the most hyped sports cars in recent
years and while we are still some time away from seeing it in the flesh,
anticipations are high.
In recent months, we have seen numerous prototypes
testing around the world and now a new set of spy shots have emerged that
provide us with our closest view yet at the new Japanese sports car.
Currently being developed alongside the BMW Z5
Roadster, the new Supra will be visually inspired by the eye-catching FT-1
Concept but the presence of camouflage and body cladding makes it rather
difficult to determine just how similar it will be.
The overall shape is almost identical to
the FT-1 and includes a large ducktail spoiler and an intriguing rear bumper
with dual tailpipes. As pictured, the vehicle's rear-end looks rather bloated
but we're hopeful the finished model will be slightly more taut.
There is a possibility that both
four- and six-cylinder engines from BMW will be offered to Supra customers. The
range-topping model may receive a turbocharged V6 engine joined by an electric
motor and delivering a total of 400 hp. A public debut in 2018 is anticipated.
