Yes, This Is Actually The Next Toyota Supra
With all the rumours flying around, the FT-1 concept which is now becoming a distant memory and the knowledge that it’s flipping ages since the Mk4 went out of production, we can finally get our first look at the next Toyota Supra. The camo’d car you see here - spotted undergoing testing - is almost certainly it, and we’re losing our minds just a little bit.
The shape is clearly shared with the stunning FT-1 concept, though we won’t know for sure how much it’s been diluted until some of that camo is shed.
As far as what powers the car - developed in a collaboration with BMW that’ll also spawn the new Z5 - the speculation seems to change from week to week. Some reports have suggested the engines in both the Z5 and the Supra will be the work of BMW, while others point toward a twin-turbo Lexus V6 in Toyota’s end of the deal. Whatever happens, a hybrid powertrain seems likely.
Although it’s hard to tell exactly what it looks like through the camo, what do you think of the long-awaited Supra replacement?

I went to the toyota expo (it was not a dealership) in Paris yesterday. And one of the two FT1 concept was there. And i was like “woooow ! Look how cool this thing is !!!” and a guy working here came up to my and started talking to me. So i had to ask : “Hmmm, sir ? Will this be the next supra?” and he said “ yes it will, the plan is to release it in 2020.” so obviously i was like : “HOLY FiretrUCK !!! “
All that to say that yes, this is the supra :).
think wiesmann has something to do with the rear design :P
I’ll be the judge of that.. The headlights look a tad bit too small.
The back looks like a nissan 350z, or it’s just me?
Now the only hope that they put something like a 2-JZ into it and not f**k up with some kind of a 1.2 litre hybrid
The silhouette looks great.
Looks almost nothing like it. But similar… maybe.
The front looks like a sad Pontiac Firebird.
