We've been waiting for it for year, and now, we not only get to see the production prototype of the
next-generation Toyota Supra, but we actually see it running as the vehicle makes it
world debut at the ongoing
Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Diriving the Supra at the event are the two of the people leading its development: Chief Engineer
Tetsuya Tada, who has overall responsibility for the Supra project, and Master Driver
Herwig Daenens.
The Toyota Supra prototype is camouflaged in the black, red, and white colors of
Toyota Gazoo Racing--the same colors which adorned
Toyota's Le Mans 24 Hour-winning TS050 this year, and is in action on the weekend of the Festival. Toyota Gazoo Racing is the organization which spearheads Toyota's global sporting program and the development of exclusive, performance-focused, GR-branded road cars.
As for the production version of the Supra, Toyota has confirmed that it "will be faithful to its distinguished heritage as a pure, thoroughbred sports car by using a
front-mounted, in-line six-cylinder engine and
rear-wheel drive."
Toyota expects the all-new Toyota Supra to go on sale in the
first half of 2019.
