The A90 Toyota Supra Prototype Comes to the US!

[Modal170]

Yeah me too....at least the vents we knew of

I mean, if the 86 is anything to go off in terms of slopes and curves, this car should have plenty with some vents for aftermarket support. If Toyota spending this much, it's going to at the very least turn heads.

Maybe these hood lines are similar to the ones that we saw on the Supra on the front cover of Wheels? I'm sure these are part those "finer" details that are still being hidden by camo.

yup pretty sure it was just the way it was cut...the car at Goodwood had the wrap following the line all the way to the nose

For some reason, the two hoods look different. The UK car doesn't look like it has the sloping lines near the fenders (or edge of the hood), the US one does. I am betting there will be a hood vent on this car (I mentioned this to A70TTR a while back, but he wasn't sure).

Hmmm....they sure do.

I get the impression the one that was in Goodwood was a different trim than the one here or at least the US spec is a bit different. From the Supra and Toyota badge placement between the two can we assume there is still a chance the 4 cylinder will be called a Celica? That would explain the "A90" all over the both cars and not "Supra" as both would have the same A90 chassis.

No.

No.

Think about it.

Euro spec has Toyota emblem in the center of the rear and probably says Supra on the right or left for the inline 6 and Celica for the inline 4.

US will likely not get the 4 cylinder trim thus the Supra badge is where the Toyota logo is on the Euro spec. I'm just thinking out loud here.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Unlikely.

It's more likely that the UK Prototype didn't have the badges yet, and the US Prototype did.

If so, I really don't like how they dropped the Toyota logo from the back and placed the Supra logo in the middle

Negative.

They didn't. It clearly has both the Toyota logo and the Supra logo. Similar to the LC500.

The Euro car had nothing there yet.
