THE LEGEND RETUNRS: NEW SUPRA
The highly anticipated all-new Toyota Supra has now reached a final
phase of development and is destined to form the basis of a newly created Toyota performance sub-brand. Lightly veiled prototypes of the sleekly styled coupé are now seen frequently on the roads around the vast R&D operation of Toyota’s project partner, BMW, in Munich, Germany. The new Supra is being developed in a joint engineering venture with the upcoming BMW Z5. It will resurrect one of Toyota’s most highly treasured performance models following a fourteen year hiatus for the Supra, which was first introduced to the Japanese car maker’s line-up in 1978. The upcoming, fifth generation Supra was first previewed by a pair of Toyota FT-1 concepts designed at the company’s Calty studio in California and unveiled at the 2014 Detroit motor show. The new Supra is set to reach UK showrooms during the second half of 2018.
