Renowned Toyota racing outfit Tom’s has set up a rather unusual crowd-funding appeal. The goal? To fund a complete rebuild of one of its most famous cars which was recently rediscovered rusting away in a random Japanese warehouse.
Earlier this month we drove one of the most anticipated new cars of the year, the 2020 Toyota GR Supra. But if you’ve been playing Gran Turismo Sport at all this year, you’ve had months to drive the reborn Supra already.
Depending on where you stand, that title will elicit either a nod of approval or a beeline to the comment section to tell me how wrong I am. That’s the magic of the reborn, fifth-generation Supra: there is no middle ground for it in the court of public opinion.
The embargo has finally lifted on Toyota’s reborn Supra. That’s meant various media outlets have been able to share their driving impressions, and get under the two-seater’s skin. In one case that’s even provided evidence that the horses under the new Supra’s hood are very healthy.
Given the time and money Toyota has spent on developing the new GR Supra, you’d have to be nuts to challenge it to a race. Specifically, you’d have to be peanuts.
Are you planning on competing in Gran Turismo Sport’s one-make race series for the new Toyota Supra? Need some tips before the first round kicks off tomorrow? No less than the reigning Nations Cup champion is here to help.
Precious few people have even got the chance to drive the new Toyota Supra road car yet, but already there’s three race car versions. Next week at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show, Toyota will add a fourth: the GR Supra GT4 Concept.
The seemingly endless wait for the new Toyota Supra is over. When Akio Toyoda drove the finished car onto the stage in Detroit, it marked the climax of five years and one day of teasing. Finally, the car was here.
Getting your hands on the first of something is a unique experience. However, it’s also typically a costly one. The new Toyota Supra is no exception to this either with the first production one selling at auction for a staggering $2.1 million.
Akio Toyoda himself, president of Toyota, says it’s “the worst-kept secret in the industry“. Nevertheless, just over five years after it unveiled the FT-1 concept, Toyota has unveiled the Supra.
Although we’ve pretty much seen Toyota’s new Supra now, it’s scheduled to debut, at long last, in Detroit on January 14. However, before the main event, there’s one more piece of business for the Supra to check off: its Super GT racing car.
