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.

it’s a Z4.
Engine better be called a 2jzE
Personally i think it looks really ugly and it sounds very similar to the vr38dett
It is just prototype bodywork. Nothing to worry about(hopefully)

can the whine be from a supercharger? maybe a super turbo engine. Ok now i’m dreaming, it’s most likely a Inline 6 twin turbo hybrid
Is this Phil covered in newspapers?
Looks like an AE86 with down syndrome. They promissed something different.
Looks like crap tbh
Talk to me when someone buys and mods it. Just like the other Supras, I’m only interested in the ones with modified engines. This one wasn’t reving like crazy…but it still kinda sounded like a Dyson V6 rather than a BMW/Toyota V6
it doesnt look like the FT1 concept and it sounds to me like a v6
