The A90 Toyota Supra Prototype Comes to the US!

[PerformanceSound]

Anything new with this thing? When is the official debut of it, SEMA? I'll wait or possibly buy a 3rd MKIV if things don't pan out nicely for this car

In the meantime, this guys' video of the MKV Supra is a fair depiction of what most MKIV fans are thinking:



Please watch the whole thing before anyone starts flaming.

The ignorant YT comments used to be funny,but now......

I don't go through every post on here, so if this is a repost then my apologies...I saw this elsewhere.

Is the test cars' spoiler fake???....by the looks of it, it looks like it is just a fake panel to hide something underneath, like a retractable spoiler similar to the one on the FT-1???

...or am I just being too hopeful, and the rear hatch isn't closed all the way??

You’re saying how the hatch/spoiler is raised up from the window? I wanna say it might just be cladding but who knows. I believe A70 ruled out the active spoiler, but things could have changed.

^^ I don't think any of those cars have one unfortunately. If so I'm sure more pics would have surfaced with some indication.

However, the 'track focused/GRMN' version could be the version with one or so I hope along with a manual transmission. But I don't think one of those is running around anywhere for spy shots to exist to the public yet.

Perhaps open same as mr2

Sadly, this is likely the case. The integrated duckbill shape on the hatch is what we're getting.

I second the idea that the hatch isn't closed. Active wing was already axed.
But why would the 'back be open?

Yeah, also I truly wonder if the hatch is open or if it's the cladding. The reason I still question this is because of where the glass line is compared to the rest of the hatch body. They could be testing the different options of hatches available....ones with active aero, ones without.

It's simple all supra have a spoiler.
The trunk of the car z4 is lower than that surely because the masking hides the spoiler in Supra.
After an aerodinamic option to 5k I prefer a spoiler

Interesting. I see that too. Active aero would be amazing.

uhm, its so obviously just open. Look at the bodyline around the taillight. Someone hit the trunk release no doubt.

I thought the same thing, but look closely. The glass and the trunk aren’t flush. I’m not on the comp so I can’t edit the pic to point out what I’m seeing lol

 

[Modal170]

Reminds me when people said V6 Supra had a chance.

 

[tha7osavage]

Lol active aero is highly unlikely, and yes, the trunk is probably just open. But hey, a brotha can dream, right?!
