After what seemed
like an eternity, Toyota finally unveiled the fifth-gen Supra at the 2019
Detroit Auto Show. The Japanese sports car was developed in collaboration with
BMW, and shares a lot features with the latest Z4. However, one of the biggest
differences between the two, besides the exterior designs, is the fact that the
Z4 is offered solely as a roadster, whereas the Supra comes only as a coupe.
In a previous
report, chief engineer Tetsuya Tada made the rather surprising comment that a
Supra Convertible could be on their list. “Of course we consider this”, he said
last month, although in all likelihood they’ll base their final decision on
whether it will be a financially viable move to put the extra work into
developing such a version. In other words, if there is high demand from
consumers, Toyota might give it the green light.
By looking at the
new GR Supra that’s currently on display at NAIAS and its BMW counterpart, it’s
quite easy to imagine a roadster derivative. And this is what AksyonovNikita
did in this rendering, namely imagining an open-top Supra. The car features a
green paintjob, black exterior accents and white interior, while XTomi went for
a matte grey finish.
