Toyota have apparently decided to pull the covers
off the all-new Supra at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show, which starts on March 6
for the press days. The sports car won't
be sold with Toyota badges, though, as it will be Gazoo branded, citing the man in charge of the sub-brand, Shigeki Tomoyama, who made
it clear that "the Supra will be Gazoo".
It appears that the new Gazoo Supra will arrive in
four states of tune, with various power levels, suspension tunes, and
equipment. The base model will be known simply as Supra, the mid-range versions
will add the GR and GR Sport monikers, respectively, while the range-topper
will be baptized as Supra GRMN.
Unlike its brother from another father, the new BMW
Z4, which will be sold solely as a convertible, the new Supra will arrive as a
fixed-roof coupe, and it needs to appeal to fans of the classic car.
Tomoyama probably refers to the six-cylinder unit
that's believed to develop 335 horses, likely aimed at the United States, among
other markets, which is said to be joined by a four-cylinder mill with around
250 horses.
Despite its rumored Geneva Show debut, the Gazoo
Supra might not arrive in showrooms until the second half of next year,
presumably close to the launch date of the new BMW Z4.
