Watch And Hear The New Toyota Supra In Action For The First Time
Just a couple of weeks after being snapped by spy photographers, the all-new Toyota Supra has been spotted again - and this time it was caught on video.
It certainly sounds like it’s packing six-cylinder power, potentially a straight-six. Listen carefully, and you’ll also hear a faint whine which might belong to an electric motor, adding credence to all those rumours that the new Supra will be a hybrid. Power wise, we can expect the package to put out around 400bhp.
As a reminder, Toyota is developing this brand new sports car with BMW - hence why the mule was spotted leaving and entering the BMW M Test Center at the Nurburgring. BMW’s end of the deal will be a soft top likely to be christened ‘Z5’, while Toyota’s version will be a tin top.
Although the revival of the name ‘Supra’ hasn’t been confirmed for the car, it’s deemed highly likely judging by comments from Toyota’s top brass and the decision to trademark ‘Toyota Supra’ in Europe earlier this year. The car should look something like Toyota’s FT-1 concept (above).
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.

sounds and looks bad, im sorry. Go and hate all you want on me, its just my personal opinion
There are still fake body parts on it.
Sounds even worse than a diesel… Disappointment incoming…
No manual and sounds like a vacuum cleaner…
Now just hope it’s not one of those BMW autobot transformers.
Lets hope it sounds like that because it have 4 mufflers to hide the real sound because thats pretty sad, sounds like a 335i queff. Lmao
Anyone else get a funny feeling its not the new supra? I dont see it pulling in and out of a toyota building, thats alot of bmw’s for it to be a toyota building
Did you even read the article? Or just watch a video and start typing!
I actually like the sound. Excited to see a car that is the product of german technology and japanese reliability.
I will be dissapointed if the sound is worse than the 2JZ GT/GTE.
If it doesn’t sound better, it should not hold the name :S
Is it using a BMW engine? Their 6 cyls sound so dull..
am I the only one seeing the number plate says RX 7 ? ^^
Plot Twist: its actually a toyota/mazda new RX
