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.

The only all new JDM legend to stay true to its roots beside the RX7, as Hitler said:
“Nissan, ya, they made the GTR fatter and auto-only, Honda, ya, they made it look nothing like the original and made it a hybrid, Subaru, ya, they basically copied the Evo, Mitsubishi YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYYA YA!”
I cant wait to 2JZ swap it
Looks like a bloated Z4 and its probably going to cost 50k.
Me when I see those rear lights.
I highly doubt that this is the next Supra, has a lot of people have been pointing out, the dimensions are just too small for it to be a Supra. I’d say this is trying to be a Cellica or something, something smaller. I think that the real Supra is not going to be this one. My understanding is something like this.
GT86 = Corolla AE86
This one = Some Cellica or some new name, but not a Supra
FT-1 based car = Supra
They BETTER make it look like the FT-1 concept. The Mule in all the camo look terrible right now. It looks quite small too. Like Miata small. Maybe it’s jusg the video. I gave high hopes for this car. We all do. We don’t want to be let down. I guess all we can do is wait for the reveal.
The camo team did a REALLY good job camouflaging it
not sure if reliable bmw or unreliable toyota, so confusing LOL
is it v6 or inline-6
i heard they will be using bmw’s developed inline 6
The camo is really hiding it’s shape
3jz???
