The enthusiasts in the Land of the Rising Sun will also have the chance to own a
special version of the Supra limited to just 24 units globally. The Supra models in question will
be painted in a special Matte Storm Gray Metallic paint available exclusively
on the Japanese RZ trim Supra.
During a recent festival celebrating the launch of
the new Supra in Japan, Gazoo Racing company president Shigeki Tomoyama said
this is the first time Toyota has sold a vehicle with a matte paint finish,
presumably excluding the one-off Supra painted in Phantom Grey which was
auctioned off earlier this year.
As production of the Matte Storm Gray Metallic 2020
Supras will be limited to just 24 examples, the Japanese car manufacturer will
hold a lottery for those interested in buying one. The winners will be
announced during the Nurburgring 24 Hour race set to be held in one month.
The aforementioned TRD Performance Parts recently
announced for the new Supra overhaul the exterior of the sports car. These
parts include a carbon fiber front splitter, sharpened side skirts, carbon
fiber components on the doors, carbon add-ons for the rear diffuser and a mean
carbon fiber trunklid lip spoiler. To our eyes, these alterations make the car
look far more purposeful than the standard model and we’re hopeful that they
will be introduced into markets outside of Japan.
