Toyota makes world debut of the new generation Supra at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. Despite looking like an imminent
reveal, nobody outside Toyota knows at this point what the automaker has in
store. It seems that the Japanese company
plans to show off the new Supra wearing its final production bodywork wrapped
with a colorful camo wrap.
So far, we know that the fifth generation Toyota
Supra, codenamed A90, will probably use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine,
reportedly producing 335 hp and 500 Nm of torque. A
GRMN derivative will eventually join the lineup, serving as the range-topping
model.
Despite having the same underpinnings as the new BMW
Z4, the upcoming Toyota Supra will be different from its German sibling, not
just design wise, but beneath the skin, too. Tetsuya Tada, the Supra chief
engineer, confirmed in a previous report that “both cars have completely
different suspension and software calibration”.
The 2019 Toyota Supra will also be priced
competitively, from some US$ 63,500 in the United States, according to yet another
report. If the number turns out to be accurate, then the Japanese sports car
will be some US$ 6,500 more expensive than the base Porsche Cayman.
