Almost there. It's a prototype, the camouflaged version of the new Toyota Supra, and it's heading to this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Not like a static display, but in motion.
Indeed, it will be the first time you will see a development version of the MkV Supra in motion, driven by chief engineer Tetsuya Tada – the brains behind the Toyota GT86 and the one man who has the Overall responsibility & # 39; of the new Supra project – alongside Herwig Daenens.

"There are fewer common elements than you would imagine, it's not like the GT86 and the Subaru," he added
