Toyota Mexico Accidentally Tweets Supra Video Ahead Of Schedule
We’re not supposed to be seeing the new Toyota Supra until its debut at the Detroit Motor Show on Monday, but it seems a social media manager got trigger happy.
Toyota Mexico Tweeted a promotional video showing the car in full and without camouflage, and although it has since been deleted, the Internet doesn’t forget. Have a quick search on YouTube, and it’s not hard to find multiple uploads. We’ve uploaded a few screen grabs from the accidentally released video here.
The look of the car really doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Partly disguised prototypes have been bandied about by Toyota since the Goodwood Festival of Speed last summer, and during the Christmas period, some low-resolution press photos of the Supra leaked onto the Web.
Regardless, it’s still nice to see the final product in motion, having waited so long for it - the FT-1 concept that previewed the Supra was revealed five years ago.
The production version is based on the same platform as the new BMW Z4, and the sports car will share a 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six plus eight-speed automatic gearbox with its Bavarian cousin. The team behind the Supra hasn’t spoken to their counterparts on the Z4 project since 2014, however, so the cars are set to feel quite different despite the shared ingredients.
Toyota had hinted that there’ll be yet more teasers of the car before the debut, but at this stage, we’re struggling to see the point.
Want to see the car in full officially? That’ll be happening on 14 January at 09:40 EST/14:40 GMT.
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.

Well, i was gonna say cant wait to see what thr supra looks like, but i think we already know 😂
Leaks suck
Someone is gonna be fired for this
At least we can finally see exactly what it looks like
Damn. How bad is Toyota’s Marketing team.
First the German Brochure leak, now this?
Might as well just leak us the 2035 Camry by now
camry doesn’t need a leak, the front end is gonna be grille and the rest will be a car, that’s all you need to know
“Accidentally”
Well, it gets people hyped, so it might actually be better for buisiness? IDK tbh
Whoopsie, accidentally dropped these photos of my car which I famously like to tease to the public repeatedly
Toyota must be flooding due to all these leaks
flooding harder than titanic
Toyota Supra: The Worst Kept Secret… In The World!
I am just thinking that all these “accidental” leaks might be purposely done, to create more hype about the supra. Just think how many times all sorts of online car sites that create new articles everytime a new leak comes out. I think Toyota are doing this on purpose
