New Toyota Supra Leak Shows More of 335 HP Coupe
The new Toyota Supra looks to have leaked online ahead of its debut later this year, revealing portions of the sports car’s exterior and maybe even some performance figures.
The leak comes from an article in a Japanese car magazine, which was posted to a Supra forum this week. The article shows both the standard Supra and the Supra GRMN Concept, which the automaker will show officially at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show in March. Not surprisingly, the car pulls heavy inspiration from the Toyota FT-1 Concept, sporting a near-identical front end and an equally as similar rear.

This leak also appears to back up the rumoured Supra specs we shared with you this week. It seems the Supra will make 335 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque from its BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline-six, which will result in a 0-60 mph time of around 3.8s, if the magazine is to be believed (although we don’t speak Japanese, making it hard to say for sure). It also says it will weigh around 1,500 kg, or 3,3000 lbs, which also jives with prior intel.
Sadly, we hear the revived Supra won’t have a manual transmission on offer, but we’re sceptical Toyota would do that with all this talk about driving enjoyment lately, so let’s wait and see.
The Toyota Supra GRMN Concept is expected to be shown at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show next month. After that, Toyota will show the production version – which is rumoured to happen at the 2018 New York Auto Show. We can hardly wait.

BMW/Toyota shared inline-6? Where do I sign. Toyota (was), BMW and Porsche are the finest exponents of six cylinder engines we've ever seen. I'd be very happy with a BMW S54 or even N55 twin-turbo in any Supra.
It should be contracted that if you buy a Supra, you shouldn't be allowed to bastardise it with wing kits, skirt kits, stupid wheels, Fast'n'Furious paint-jobs etc. Engine mods OK, of course, but respect the designers. Katayama who designed the MkIV was endlessly disappointed people absolutely ruined his car. I don't disagree with some of the absolute abortions people created. I had a 1984 Celica Supra, a 1989 Mk3 and a 1996 Mk4 and my next car was not a Supra because stupid people made them embarassing. Don't let it happen again Toyota. Require people to have some class.
