Here Are Official Pictures Of The New Toyota Supra

We can now show you the new Toyota Supra, after what seems like a lifetime of teasers – but the car still hasn’t been officially revealed.

According to A90 Supra fan forum SupraMkV.com, these two images were automatically distributed to anyone signing up to the new car’s official customer waiting list.

The images, shot from the classic front three-quarter and rear three-quarter angles, show us everything we need to see all around the new entrant to what’s becoming a stellar compact sports car segment.

Two nicely fat exhaust pipes sit at the outer edges of a large rear diffuser with what looks to be an F1-style light in the centre. Its function could be as a fog light or reversing light. Above it sits a number plate aperture containing not just the classic Supra logo but also the letters GR, signifying Gazoo Racing.

Little has changed since the A90 appeared in camouflage

We love the duck-tail spoiler, at the back of which is the Toyota badge, and we’re big fans of the muscular haunches over the rear wheels. Similar bulges over the front rims are accented by vents that may allow air to escape from the front wheel arches, increasing aerodynamic performance.

The front DRL signature is as we’ve already seen and runs the full length of the light cluster and beyond. A front splitter looks to be as much a stylistic feature as anything else, but looks just right beneath a three-section grille. Now we just have to wait for the car’s vital stats to be confirmed in a week or two, but 340bhp and 1500kg are expected.

The bmw z4 customers will definitely be considering this one.

True…

To me, supra looks much better than new Z4. Ever since BMW started widening kidneys, I started not to like the BMW front looks. Supra is coupe. Therefore, I would prefer Supra over Z4 anytime.

I really like it 👍🏽

I dont get why people hate the looks.

Its a rather nice looking car.
Has a distinct MKIV feel to the front

I don’t think they’re hating it for it’s looks but rather the expectation it has to live up to. I’m still being optimistic about it despite the sluggish Japanese economy.

Ikr!

It has no big wang tho…

Jokes aside, the hate might come from people that still expecting it retains its concept counterpart look.

I can’t be the only one that likes this one more than the old one, can I?

Well, at least if most people hate it, it might not suffer from the same disgusting fanbase the old one has.

When was this supra first released?

Well it all depends on what you consider the supra. The sporty option for the Celica, titled “supra” came out in the 80s (correct me if I’m wrong), and the supra became a stand alone model in the 90s (again, correct me if im wrong).

I think it should’ve been a little bit bigger. I mean the supra was intended to be a grand tourer

I have completely stopped caring that this is based on a BMW, and it looks so much better without that camo.

I think it’s missing a HUGE wing. Like on the mk4

They’ll probably end up making a GRMN-version of the A90 at some point like they did with the 86, and add at least a big carbon wing like they did with the 86
