We happen to think the new Toyota Supra is
quite the looker but now many people disagree. Perhaps these renderings from
professional automotive designer Giulio Partisani of a radically-different Mk5
Supra will do it for you?
Partisani has worked as a designer at
Bertone, Ferrari, Jaguar-Land Rover and is currently a designer at Honda in
Japan. The Mk5 Supra you see has been imagined with styling clearly reminiscent
of the Mk4-generation model, meaning it looks totally unlike the Supra
currently on the market.
The similarities between this Mk5 Supra
and its predecessor are immediately apparent, particularly thanks to the
similar overall proportions. The front features a long hood while there is also
a rounded and low-slung cabin.
We’re particularly fond of the front
fascia that includes sharp LED headlights that provide a nice modern twist to
the lights used by the Mk4. The retro looks are also evident at the rear thanks
to a large fixed-wing, bulging rear haunches, horizontal taillights, and dual
tailpipes. There is also a striking diffuser for good measure.
Partisani says he was inspired by the
gorgeous Mazda RX Vision when creating his dream new-age Supra and this has
worked wonders, resulting in a sports car that looks both modern while also
acting as a fitting tribute to its predecessor.While the 2020 and 2021 Supra
may not tickle everyone’s fancy, it is just the start of the new Supra family
and with the arrival of new variants, styling modifications can be expected.
