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.

Nothing new or shocking, but at least we now have an official confirmation from Toyota on both a straight six engine and an early 2019 launch date.
