Here is a new article from the german supra forum
https://www.toyota-supra.de/blogs/p...ir-fahren-fur-euch-den-neuen-toyota-supra-a90

Some Highlights:
-From 18 to 20 September, the new Supra will now be presented to the public in Europe at the Track Day event in Madrid (spain)
- Toyota Europe invited the german Community to get an impression of the car
- maybe test drive the A90 by the community

With an official announcement, the new Toyota Supra was last presented to the public at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the USA and personally raced over the track by Toyota boss Tetsuya Tada.

When Toyota publishes press releases on the new Supra with increasing frequency, or watches more and more events, the official sales of the new Toyota Supra are not far off.
Agile fun car

With every event more and more details become known. Last to the engine and the model types. In addition to the 335-hp 6-series engine, there should also be a lightweight and equally turbocharged variant (B48B20) with a 4-cylinder engine from BMW. Both variants will have the ZF-8HP51HIS 8-speed automatic transmission. With these two Supra models Toyota pursues the previous concept, as it was with the previous model MK4. The GE and the more powerful GTE turbo version.

Contrary to rumors at the time of many portals and blogs, both models are to be sold normally under the Toyota brand. In fact interesting is the version sold under the sports label GR, as you already know from other models like the Yaris. However, there are no facts yet and the rumors move between hybrid propulsion and an output of over 400 hp.

Together with the engineers of the GT86, the new Supra is just as much an agile fun car as the GT86 already is. A kind of combination of old Supra and the GT86 model.
Presentation in Madrid

From 18 to 20 September, the new Supra will now be presented to the public in Europe at the Track Day event in Madrid, to which we have been invited as one of largest and oldest community by Toyota Europe. On the spot, we should not only make an impression of the (probably still veiled pre-series), but may also even drive the new Toyota Supra A90 test.

Of course, we would like to inform you about this event, of course, ask all possible questions and reports about the driving experience.

Maybe they will also let the press take it for a spin as well, like with the Z4 in France.

I am curious if Toyota will present the same vehicle as on the FOS in this event, or if it will be a different version or spec...

335HP huh? I know, i know, horsepower isn’t everything. But I expected just a tad more. Nothing is concrete yet so we’ll see.

We need videos of the event. I'm just curious if there's a rev limiter so it doesn't scream as they rather let the public hear that during a press showing.

Interestingly, Toyota AU have contacted the state Toyota club about a major event this Saturday. Fingers are crossed for something A90 related, but I seriously doubt it, being Australia.

It won't be the mass public debut (there has been speculation that's LA), but it has been chosen as a debut location to the tuner market apparently.

Like with anything though, who knows if that will end up being the case.
True.

Who would've thought the first time we'd formally see the A90 in action would be at Goodwood FS. This process has been anything but conventional.
