Toyota Supra teases before Goodwood Reveal

Last week, Toyota confirmed that it will bring the Toyota Supra to the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed. A prototype version of the new halo model will make its first appearance on the road during the popular hill climb later this week. The Supra is likely to be heavily camouflaged but will carry its production bodywork.

For those who do not know, a technical partnership between Toyota and BMW will see the Toyota Supra and the BMW Z4 share the same platform. It should be launched in 2019 with several suggesting that it will shoot the Porsche 911. If that is the case, it would be a significant step forward for BMW, as the Z4 currently occupies a less important place on the market.

– Toyota Europe (@toyota_europe) July 5, 2018 [19659006] The Toyota Supra will likely be in the First Glance category of Goodwood and it remains to be seen if it will be rolled just for the climb rather than for the public display. We know that it will be piloted by Toyota's Herwig Daenens pilot with the help of Toyota's chief engineer on the new Supra Tetsuya Tada project.

The Toyota Supra is expected to achieve a 3.0-liter six-cylinder in-line turbo engine producing 335 horsepower at 5500 rpm and 332 lb-ft of torque at 1380-5200 rpm . Power will be routed to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic gearbox with torque converter.
