Here's How The Toyota GR Supra Concept Looks Without The Wings
We may have been a little disappointed that the Geneva Motor Show didn’t include the big Supra reveal we’ve been waiting for, but Toyota’s ‘GR Supra Racing Concept‘ is still plenty significant.
Not only does it at last confirm Toyota’s resurrection of the Supra name, it also serves as a preview for the car’s styling. As we understand it, remove the livery, wings, diffuser and general motorsport addendum, and you have the production car. So, we’ve done that digitally, creating these renders.
Well, it’s not quite that simple. What our friendly neighbourhood Photoshop ace has done is transplant the concept’s styling - minus the racing bits - onto the basic outline of the FT-1, from which much of the Supra’s exterior design is derived. Minus a few details like the wheels and diffuser - which are a little hard to accurately predict right now - this is what you can expect the car to look like.
As far as the mechanicals go, the latest batch of reports suggest it’ll use a BMW-derived straight-six, and from the sounds of it, there’ll be no manual. We’ll have to wait a little while before the full reveal too - reportedly, that won’t be until the Detroit Auto Show in January 2019.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

There already was a picture of the production Supra beeing loaded on a trailer. Everybody who has seen it knows how it looks like. But where the hell is this photo gone? I cant find it anymore. It popped up at nearly the same time as the leak form that one magazine.
Yes! On that photo it can be seen the production wheels and diffuser
And the rear
Very similar to those images from that magazine
Why has ir lexus lc500 wheels on it
The front looks like an rx8 lmao
Smoking can give you cataracts
Be careful man
I think my initial problem with this is that the manual isn’t even an option. Some people will want just pure speed and those people will opt for an automatic gearbox. Other people however will just want a fun car and will enjoy using the gears themselves. For those people, why wouldn’t they want a manual? I understand with supercars the objective is pure speed and automatics are optimized for them but for sports cars like this it just seems shortsighted.
This is a GT car. It’s not a sports car.
For the 984th time
drum role please
RELEASE THE F*G CAR!!!
Sexy af
I can just say it again, this car looks absolutely beautiful, I hope that this is how the MkV will really look like^^

Is there a quickshifter option for cars like in motorcycles?
We do have flappy paddle shifters, is that what you mean?
Man, that’s sexy. I wonder if this is at all related to the lc 500 platform, they kinda give me the same vibe. If this is the new Supra, is the lc500 the new sc400?
Yeah, basically “LC 500” is the new sc400 or some people might call it a Toyota “SOARER
The difference is that new Supra was developed by Toyota and BMW, while LC500 which is a new Toyota Soarer was developed by Toyota themselves
