Toyota Supra (A90)

[lxmmy]

So yeah, the prototype for the next generation Supra has finally been caught out in the wild and would you just LOOK AT THAT PROFILE!! On the side, there are a lot of parts sourced from BMW, which may be altered for the production model:

If the production model kept those 666 style wheels.

What a time to be alive!

 

[McLaren]

It looks tiny compared to concept. Not sure if I'm feeling this anymore.

 

[FT-1]

It looks tiny compared to concept.

I noticed this too. No wonder Toyota is reluctant to giving the 86 more power, that prototype barely looks bigger than a 370Z.

 

[CodeRedR51]

I'm a bit disappointed that it lost the deeply sculpted sides with the vents. Though I wonder if this isn't really representative giving how early it is.

 

[RACECAR]

I feel like this is somewhere between the first physical parts of the actual Supra and just a heavily modified Z4 Mule.

My first thoughts were disappointment and Z4.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Looks actually smaller than a 370z. Those gauges and that center stack look pure Lexus....

That steering wheel is huge.

 

[SPhilli911]

That is horrible looking and hopefully nowhere near the final version. It's a far cry from that gorgeous FT-1 concept.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

Well I see the hip and the rear trunk lip.

 

[MisterWaffles]

Wait, wait, wait! I need to search around my GIF box a little more, almost got it...

...wait...

...here we go:

I think it looks disgusting, but hopefully that's just for testing and not the final shape.

 

[mustafur]

That Steering wheel looks like it's from a BMW.

 

[V12 lmr]

Wow, that thing looks completely different than what I had pictured in my head.

 

[GTboyz]

It looks tiny compared to concept. Not sure if I'm feeling this anymore.

Yeah, the whole body looks more like a Z series (i know this is supposed to be shared with BMW Z5) but it reminds me way too much like a Z4 than a Toyota. Less curvy and race car-ish than the FT-1.

Also that rear bumper looks off.

Oh well we'll see how it turns out.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I just want it to look remotely like this render here.

I just want it to look remotely like this render here.

And I want it to look exactly like this render.

 

[05XR8]

It does look like the FT-1. Check the rear quarter windows, the rear bumper has the air outlets(they're covered slightly). It's got the double hump roof, taillight treatment w/the hatch opening.The front is severely camouflaged. Itlli probably look close to it. The "Ford GT pinch" door and central body look close to the concept as well.

That Steering wheel looks like it's from a BMW.

It is. From the 'non' M models.

 

[ProjectWHaT]

And wonder how awesome a Z5 M will be.

 

[mustafur]

The car looks much smaller then the ft-1 concept.

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

No paddleshifters behind the wheel.. *crosses fingers*

 

[Bram Turismo]

It looks nothing like the stunning FT-1...

 

[MisterWaffles]

I have no idea why anyone is calling this ugly or is upset right now. This is the earliest of test mules, it's also under very heavy camo so calm down.

You have a point but most people who have a problem with the mule are complaining about how small it is compared to the FT-1. Seeing as mules often ride on the chassis of the production car, I don't see the dimensions changing too much.

Personally, I'm still a fan of the shape and dimensions. Think of the new Supra as a potential Jaguar F-Type V6 S rival and it makes more sense.

 

[Tornado]

I'd say a decently small and presumably more nimble car would be more interesting than another lardass with more raw technical ability than it knows what to do with to make up for it. As revered as it is 20 years later, that blunt instrument approach is the reason the last Supra entered the market with such a thud that even the buff books were indifferent to it.



And the FT-1 would have been unsellable, so no skin off my nose if it only resembles it in a core concept way.

 

[Ameer67]

I'm not a complete fan from the camo spy shots but I'm hoping that will change once we see it naked.

 

[Grandea GTR]

At first glance (yes I know it's a mule) one would think it's a Ferrari.

First thing I thought of when I saw the rear:
