Not bad.. wish the front fenders were not as tall .. sleek look of the S2K is what I had in mind. Michelin tires.. wish we could’ve made out the tire size.

I know the mules with the michelins have been wearing the 255/275 front/rear - same as the current M3/M4

Toyota Supra: see the legend return

The hotly anticipated new Toyota Supra sports car will make its public debut in prototype form at the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The development model will be seen in action for the first time anywhere in the world on the famous hill course at the Festival, making a fitting contribution to the event’s silver jubilee year. The prototype will be driven by two of the people leading its development: chief engineer Testuya Tada, who has overall responsibility for the Supra project, and master driver Herwig Daenens.

Following the announcement of a new Toyota Supra at the Geneva Motor Show in March, Toyota confirms that the model will be faithful to its distinguished heritage. "It will be a pure, thoroughbred sports car that uses a front-mounted, in-line six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive."

The Toyota Supra prototype will be camouflaged in the black-red-and-white colours of Toyota Gazoo Racing – the same colours which adorned Toyota’s 24 Hours of Le Mans winning TS050 Hybrid this year – and will be in action on the Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of the Festival.

Fans will also have the chance to take a close look at the Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept. Created by Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR), this concept heralded the return of the Supra name when it was unveiled at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. It explores the potential for a high-performance competition model, featuring dramatic bodywork crafted in advanced, lightweight composite materials, with lowered suspension, racing wheels and cockpit equipped to competition standards.

TGR is the organisation which spearheads Toyota’s global sporting programme and the development of exclusive, performance-focused, GR-branded road cars, including the recently introduced Yaris GRMN. In the FIA World Endurance Championship, TGR achieved Toyota’s first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans with a one-two finish in this year’s race. The #8 Toyota TS050 Hybrid which claimed the historic victory will be on display in the competition paddock at Goodwood.

TGR also competes at the highest international level in the FIA World Rally Championship with the Yaris WRC. It has claimed two victories in its debut season in 2017 and scored a win on Rally Argentina and a number of podium finishes so far this year.

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

Some mules run 19 inch wheels, while some run 18s.

the curves of the rear look great. hard to capture that in the renders so far. with a nice colour.... it's going to be a stunning car

I'm confused, why are we calling it the 2020 Supra if it's been confirmed that it'll be here early 2019?

I believe it will be a 2020 year model as hinted by A70TTR. Toyota has already release pricing on the 2019 models and the Supra was not included in the list.

You can have an early to mid 2019 production date but with a 2020 year model title. For example one of my very first RX7s was built in early 92, but the title said 93 year model.

So another tease.. not really a reveal but just another car with camo on. Sad..

 

[supraboi]

Disappointed, but not unexpected. The Supra has always been a few months behind the Z4. No way BMW was going to let Toyota show their car first.

I'm not sure why you guys are surprised. Both Guff and A70 have told us to expect a fall debut in October or November.

 

[Modal170]

I don't see the issue here.

It is another tease but with the caveat that it will be going up the hill,meaning we get to hear it. Furthermore, it will be driven by tada and Herwig, meaning at least two driving attempts and a chance to hear it scream.

This might as well be tbe reveal as we get to see it live and in motion

I'm still hoping we might get a sneak peak at the interior.

Most likely spy shots or photos taken by those participating if Toyota doesn't want to show it.

I just hope Tada has fun and don't over do it

Could be, in the enhanced pics it looks like the dash is exposed.
