A legend at Le Mans Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept

Bringing back our most iconic sports car

Toyota’s historic win at Le Mans 2018 presented the perfect moment for Tetsuya Tada, Chief Engineer of the Supra, to confirm that our most iconic sports car is returning. The GR Supra Racing Concept exhibited at Le Mans Toyota fan zone, is reviving the famous Supra name, recalling the spirit of the most celebrated sports model in Toyota’s story. Compact and dramatic, the racing concept promises a car that can deliver high performance on both track and road.

“The new Supra should be the flagship sports car of the Toyota brand and a front-runner of an era.”
Tetsuya Tada – Chief Engineer
Born to perform

As a joint development between Toyota and BMW, the new Supra was seen from the start as a top-tier racing car in line with Supra’s motorsport-inspired pedigree. Tada-san said that the new Supra, to be launched early 2019, will inherit the tradition built by the previous Supra and incorporate modern-day, state-of-the-art technology without compromise.

Featuring a characterful in-line 6-cylinder front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, the next Supra not only revives the legacy of its past but promises to give drivers a truly thrilling sensation.

Toyota has confirmed that the all-new A90 generation Supra is set to make its public debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this month.

Little else has been said about the Supra's Goodwood debut - we don't yet know if it will be part of a static display or if Toyota plans to send it up the hillclimb route, but it's likely that the car will make its dynamic debut.

The image below is that teaser. The Supra wears its final bodywork, giving us a first shadowy glimpse of the way it'll look in showrooms next year.

I got the chance to drive an M240i, and if the new Supra is as good as that car or better then we are in for a treat. Any doubt I had about the powertrain is gone (other than that unknown reliability aspect)

This thing is way more BMW than Toyota. They couldn’t even use their own steering wheel or tech inside.

I can’t complain much about that though because the Germans are leagues ahead of anything Toyota has for infotainment

Have they just given up?

Genesis knocked it out of the ballpark with the G70..

I think everyone, quite frankly, is tired of the half hearted efforts from Toyota and Lexus these days.

Sure they are the most reliable brand, but most car companies have vastly improved their reliability in the last 10 years.

Toyota and Lexus are going to have to get with times in terms of everything else now.

Couldn't agree more. Back in the early 80's, Toyotas and Nissans were really cool. Heck, the Corolla was cool, even before the ae86. I had 3 rwd ones and they were fantastic. Now Toyota seems to make appliances, very boring appliances. Nissan looks like they just gave up in the design department with the exception of the Gt-r and the Micra. Their cars are pretty unreliable and cheaply constructed as well. The new brz frs twins are a pretty cool concept. Having owned a few, I'd have to say that Mazda has the same fun to drive, exciting and well designed cars Toyota used to have. Mazdas are amazing, sadly, they don't make a truck.

Five Generations Of Toyota Supra Together For The First Time

World first as all five generations of Toyota Supra come together

British Toyota Supra owners get exclusive access to new A90 Supra prototype

Sports car introduced by Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada

A select group of classic Toyota Supra owners from the UK have become amongst the first car fans in the world to get close up and personal with the all-new version of the iconic sports car.

The behind-closed-doors event in Sussex saw all four famous generations of the sports car brought together with the new fifth generation car for the first time anywhere in the world.

Toyota invited a group of Supra super-fans to an evening event with Tetsuya Tada, in which the chief engineer of the new A90 Supra gave owners of all four previous generations an exclusive introduction to the camouflaged prototype.

The top secret, invite-only event occurred during the long weekend of the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed, where the keenly anticipated new fifth-generation Supra made its world debut.

Earlier in the day, Tada-san had given thousands of enthusiasts an early taste of the vehicle’s dynamic performance by driving up the famous festival hill course, after which the prototype was whisked away to another location in West Sussex for its exclusive static showing.

A total of 50 immaculately presented Supra models from all four generations had been invited to attend in anticipation of the new A90 Supra’s arrival.

The majority of the 84 owners and guests arrived in fourth-generation models, from highly sought-after UK-specification models with manual gearboxes, to examples that illustrated the enduring popularity and immense tuning potential of the iconic 2JZ straight-six engine. Also in attendance were eight third-generation models in both original and facelifted guise, four angular second-generation models, and a single first-generation model – one of only two examples of the Celica Supra known to exist in the UK.

Tada-san drove the new A90 Supra into the building to rapturous applause from the enthusiasts. He positioned it on a rotating stand and then proudly introduced his “new baby” to the crowd as the culmination of six years of development. It was a moment that marked the first time that all five generations of Toyota Supra had ever appeared together in public.

During the course of the evening, Tada-san was eager to mingle with the guests and chat openly about the A90 project. As an enthusiast himself, he was equally eager to hear from existing owners about what Supra means to them and gain a greater understanding of their expectations for this next chapter in the model’s history.

Commenting on the weekend, Tada-san revealed: “I’m just so happy that we’ve made it to this point. I’ve finally been able to reveal the car to the UK; it’s the happiest day of my life. And to drive it up the hill at Goodwood was a really exciting experience.”

Toyota expects its new Supra to reach the market during the first half of 2019.

EDITOR’S NOTES:

The first Supra was produced in 1978 as the flagship derivative of the contemporary Celica but it was never sold in the UK. The second-generation Celica Supra arrived in the UK in August 1982 and was replaced by the standalone third-generation Supra model in July 1986. The fourth-generation Supra was launched in August 1993 but discontinued in the UK in 1996. Low-volume production of the Mk4 Supra continued in Japan for the domestic market until July 2002.

UK sales figures:

1982-1985 Celica Supra (4,132 units)
1986-1993 Supra (11,551 Units)
1994-1996 Supra (623 units)

Well Nissan's cheaply constructed cars reflect in their cheaply sold pricing and that's why people continue to buy them. They are otherwise garbage for the most part.

It is, you can totally tell if you have ever seen a Beamer interior. What a shame. Like I said in a previous thread about these new cars, nothing is sacred anymore and all these new cars are being built like absolute trash. This car will be no different.

On a sidenote, they really gotta stop that front end side diffuser crap on these new cars. It makes them look so ricey.

Toyota needs the equivalent of the 1977 Celica GT Fastback. I'm not sure if the Brz/ t whatever is it.

Yes but looks don't mean a thing if you are walking on the side of the highway while it hangs back broken down 2-3 miles back. (Or you are getting it towed). Hahaha.
