There are several wild Toyota Supras coming to the
SEMA Show this year but TRD’s GR Supra 3000GT Concept could quite possibly be
the wildest iteration of the A90 generation to date. Toyota Racing Development (TRD)
has begun teasing the custom concept before its world debut at the SEMA Show on
November 5. Very little is known about the souped-up Supra as TRD is keeping
the cards close to the chest at the moment.
However, the teaser photos and videos definitely
leave us hungry for more as the reveal the mother of all fixed wings floating
above the Supra 3000GT Concept’s carbon fiber spoiler lip, as well as an engine
hood featuring four sizable vents.
If you have a feeling of deja-vu, it’s because the
custom concept traces its lineage back to the Supra A80-based TRD 3000GT
wide-body concept unveiled at the 1994 Tokyo Auto Salon. Besides the huge rear
wing and vented hood, we should expect significantly wider wheel arches, more
aggressive bumpers, custom alloy wheels, and hopefully engine, suspension and
exhaust upgrades as well.
An engine builder recently suggested that the stock
block of the 3.0-liter B58 inline-six used by the Supra can probably get up to
1,000 HP without the need for extensive mods to the engine block, so we can’t
wait to see if TRD did something to the engine as well.
