Watch The Toyota Supra And BMW Z5 Cousins Hit The 'Ring
The new Supra and its BMW-developed cousin have both been seen undergoing testing at the Nurburgring
Did last week’s brief testing video not give you a good enough idea of what the new Supra is like? Worry not, as the inevitable Nurburgring test footage has emerged, and as a bonus, its co-developed BMW Z5 has been lapping the Norschleife too.
Is it just us, or are they a tad quiet? It’s not always easy to tell from footage like this, but we can only hope the cars - almost certainly running six-cylinder hybrid powertrains - are subject to a little fiddling in the exhaust department before reaching production.
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 z5 sounds amazing, that dct fart!
I wanna see dat Z5 M Coupe
Will The Driver be getting his hands on the first example of the Z5?
My grandad’s hybrid Rav4 is louder than this.
They’re silencing it with cats, mufflers, etc. so we can’t hear it, is my guess.
CONT HEAR A GOD DAMN THING
Dat overtake at 0:30 for the BMW…. typical BMW driver not using signals, just speeding past…
Toyota if you see this, please give us a tt or single t inline 6 not some hybrid automatic bulls*hit, this is so lame and its so quietly sounding
I would say; Sup-chi, I choose you to beat GTR!
I bet the Supra is quiet in part so we can’t tell what the engine configuration is.
That backend is more Ferrari than Toyota
