I know that most of you guys are curious petrol-heads who already know much about the upcoming presentation of Toyota Supra in Geneva this year, but I want to be on the save side and write a couple of rows just in case somebody missed it.
After years and years of speculations, unconfirmed information and paparazzi photos Toyota finally revealed the new Supra to the world. For now it is considered to be only a racing concept project which was built and designed in collaboration with BMW.
Full name of the model is GR Supra. For those who don’t know GR stands for Gazoo Racing – the racing department in Toyota.
The fact that Supra should be a sports car made the GR engineers free to unleash their full imagination and combine their master mind ideas in that one model. Using the most light weight parts and materials they’ve made sure that not a single unnecessary kilogram would be added. What could be more exciting than that? Is the fact that they will give that to the regular street model as well intriguing?
Japanese magazine Super Car was the first media to publish the final look of the new Supra. They said that Toyota’s new child would be a real rival to Porsche 911. In fact they believe Supra will be much faster than the Porsche.

Under the hood Supra is hiding 3.0-litre 6 cylinder engine with 340 PS and a maximum torque of 450 Nm at 5200 rpm. Arguably whether for good or not this badass looking Supra is equipped with an 8-speed automatic transmission.
