Toyota Australia has already begun initial design work on the GR Supra Supercar through its own in-house design team, based at Altona. The design team used CAD and VR technology to produce a scale clay model, which was on display at the launch.
The GR Supra Supercar will use Toyota’s 2UR-GSE all-aluminium, quad-cam V8 as its baseline engine. The engine has featured in a range of performance production cars, as well as the 2019 Dakar-winning HiLux.
