2019 Toyota Supra Prototype Reveals Production Intent Design/Parts

[madfast]

Not necessarily, it could be built into the side skirt like the LC.

the only problem is that the LC's doors have an upsweep that accommodates the vent. as far as i can tell, the supra's doors do no such thing.

but even worse, putting a vent on the side skirt would ruin the look that the concept has established.

look at how the side of the concept is sculpted. it starts low, just behind the front wheels and flows up into the doors and into the fender. a similar shape can be seen on the test cars. although there is tons of cladding trying to hide it's shape, it correlates quite nicely with the concept. one can easily see how they keep the overall shape the concept had and get rid of the fake vent. imo the cladding on the doors and atop the rear fenders are doing its job. once we see the finished product, it should be sharper and flow nicely just like the concept, except without the fake vent.

I should have said made it part of the door and side skirt like here.

I don't know, I'm just not feeling it that much with the line on the door like with these renderings.

Looks like the same person that did this rendering. From a different angle and a change of color makes it look a lot better.

I know a lot of you are probably hoping for this.

But in reality it will probably be more like this.

I think in both of those instances I like the production version more than the concept. I don't think that will possibly be the case with the FT1.

am perfectly fine with the C-HR actually...its not as heart breaking as Subaru concepts you know

I think this adds more support to the idea that Akio was behind the wheel of the prototype. @post #16

As for the progress of the BMW/Toyota partnership signed in 2011 to produce a new sports car for each brand, sources tell us Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda has been to Munich testing Toyota’s version of the car, also known as the next Supra. More than once, the approachable tycoon and avid high-performance driver reportedly walked away impressed.

Up close and personal with the next generation Z4/Supra on Mulholland highway. They sounded great.

Well, fwiw they all sound exactly the same, so there's a fair chance they'll have the same engines. Also, they sound like old Gran Turismo fake engine noise, which is not a compliment lol.

Akio was at the ring with the chief engineer in early August so could be
