Toyota Supra Spied Up Close Revealing More Details
Spy photographers have managed to get up close and personal with the new Toyota Supra.
Unfortunately the Supra is still wearing plenty of camouflage, but this time we get detailed photos of the tail lights that slightly resemble the previous Supra’s units with round housings. It’s still hard to pick out details on the upcoming sports car, but we will finally get the full picture when it bows at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show this October.
Riding on a platform that’s the result of a collaboration between BMW and Toyota, the new Supra will only be offered as a coupe while the BMW Z5 will be a convertible.

It’s still unclear what powertrain Toyota will use on its Supra, but it’s possible the Japanese automaker will turn to BMW’s turbocharged engines. If not, expect to see a turbocharged V6 from Toyota that may be further boosted with electrification.

I don't like how it looks. I want them to create a supercar, like the old one was. Not some little cheap sports car. I want it to be able to compete with the Nissan GTR and Acura NSX.
