The New Toyota Supra’s Nose Has Been Leaked
Finally we can show you the front end of the production-ready A90 Toyota Supra. It has leaked through the SupraMkV forum and shows the final thing in a transporter trailer.
Evidently it used to be covered by the sheet we can see bundled up over the rear windscreen, but however the car came to be exposed, now we can discuss the differences between it and the FT-1 concept.
The headlights are clearly fatter and bear a much more obvious resemblance to the legendary A80’s. Likewise, the protruding central nose section has been dialled back with its lower section now part of the larger three-section lower grille designed for actual cooling in actual use.
There’s no transparent panel over the engine, sadly, but the rough design and intent of the front splitter is much the same as in the concept, just without the kinks where the concept’s met the middle of the nose. Interestingly, the ‘double-bubble’ roof has been maintained.
We can also see how accurate the images were in the Japanese magazine leak earlier this year. As we’ve discussed before, we really feel for companies whose grand plans get shafted by such leaks, but this is simply too big to ignore. Toyota must be seething and we can totally understand why, but there are still the full specs to look forward to during its full debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January.

The front numberplate will make it look even uglier
im surprised by how much it does actually look like the FT-1 concept.
a lot more alike than I think most people were expecting, or at least myself.
Not the best looking car is it
I really like the design. It’s not as bonkers as the concept but it really does follow the traditonal design of the old Supra.
if only the supra looked like this
[DELETED]
If only people would appreciate fhe fact that we’re getting a mkv supra that actually looks decent..
Yeah and named it the “LFA JR”
Welp, someone’s losing their job…
i actually like it, its like a new, high performance, GT86
Another one
Face that only mother could love. Blehh.
Finger crossed for a 4 cylinder manual version. Lighter both actually and in terms of taxes and running costs.
No please.
