Toyota is bringing back the Supra and we finally have spy photos showing the new sports car.

The photos show a fixed roof coupe that appears to have proportions similar to the FT-1 Concept, the stunning show car that teased this new machine. The style all around the development car is toned down compared to the concept, but it still looks plenty aggressive. Thick plastic is hiding the front end well, while small round taillights are visible in the back, though these might just be used for the prototype. We see shades of previous Supras in the design of this prototype, but Toyota might be doing that to throw us off.

Two of the photos also offer a glimpse of the interior, which looks more BMW than Toyota. The steering wheel and gauges appear to be out of a BMW, while the small wheel that controls the German brand’s iDrive infotainment system can also be seen.

Concrete details on the new Toyota sports car are slim, though plenty of rumors are circling the car. BMW is said to have done most of the development on the rear-wheel drive chassis and engine, while Toyota provided its hybrid technology for the new car. That means that turbocharged four- and six-cylinder BMW engines are possibilities to provide power, mated to a hybrid system.


As for body styles, the Supra is said to be a coupe only, while its sister car, the BMW Z5, is rumored to be only a roadster with a soft-top. Early on in development, BMW and Toyota said that the two cars will not be direct competitors, despite sharing many of the same internal components.

The Supra is expected to arrive after the new BMW Z5, likely as a 2019 model year vehicle.

Dir de voir a quoi elle ressemblera au final mais sa semble pas pire, pas mal mieux que leur concept de la FT-1 lol

Le toit qui est du style de la viper aussi donne de la gueule!

J'aimerais voir le retour du fameux 2jz...mais bon ça c'est de rêvé...

EDIT: dans les photos intérieur sa semble être un automatique lol. J'espère qu'elle aura une transmission manuelle.

Elle aura une motorization BMW, apparamment (et malheureusement).
 
Weird wheel base indeed + off Ferrari tail lights + old 90's nose.

But yeah, it will sell. Everything sells.
 
The general size and shape are very similar to the FRS/BRZ.

The window has that hard edge though.
It almost seems to be an frs, but the cabin is shifted rearwards. There's more distance from the front wheels to the driver, and less distance from the driver to the rear wheels.

The car could be an 86 with a slightly modified chassis as the car does have that general shape. The way the roof windshield-back the roof line is very Z4M. And hopefully it's a hatchback because that trunk looks like it'll be difficult to use otherwise.
 
Even a lightcar with power is having bigger brake than this. It might be some testing brake too. All ''sports'' car are having some decent brake system now.
 
That looks a LOT like a Z4 coupe.

Could they be using this to test stuff without bringing out the genuine article? It's been done before.
 
Le bumper à l'air weird. Et les lumière arrière qui sorte sur les coter pas sur

Le monde ont pas l'air de comprendre c'est quoi une mule. Fiez-vous pas au look du char, à part la shape général, tout peux changer. Ces voitures là servent uniquement à tester les diverses composantes mécaniques/électroniques et à faire des réglages.

Toyota utilisait une Supra MK4 avec un powertrain de FR-S dans le temps qu'ils faisaient leurs tests.

Personnellement j'espère qu'elle va être le plus proche possible du concept FT-1 original. C'est dommage que Toyota tombe encore dans le piège de laisser une autre compagnie s'occuper du moteur comme pour la FR-S avec le minable FA-20 de Subaru.

Toyota devrait concevoir un nouveau straight 6 turbo, ceux de Bmw vont briser la réputation légendaire de la Supra j'ai bien peur.

A BMW engine is still not a certainty.

Japan’s Mag-X claims the Supra will get a twin-turbocharged V-6 instead of a 4-cylinder. The V-6 is said to be a newly developed unit for Lexus and some high-end Toyotas. The engine is said to develop up to 400 horsepower on its own, and dropped into the Supra along with a hybrid system similar to what we saw in the Hybrid-R concept, we could be looking at numbers well above 500 horses.

I totally agree Toyota needs to use their own engines. And yes, it's funny to see people bitch about the look of a disguised test mule.
