Toyota will be unveiling their new Toyota Supra prototype at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this week.
We will get to see the new development version of the Supra in action at Goodwood later this week, this is the vehicle the production car will be based on.
The development model will be seen in action for the first time anywhere in the world on the famous hill course at the Festival, making a fitting contribution to the event’s silver jubilee year. The prototype will be driven up the hill course by two of the people leading its development: Chief Engineer Testuya Tada, who has overall responsibility for the Supra project, and Master Driver Herwig Daenens.
Following the announcement of a new Toyota Supra at the Geneva Motor Show in March, Toyota can confirm the model will be faithful to its distinguished heritage as a pure, thoroughbred sports car by using a front-mounted, in-line six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive.
The Legacy of the Toyota Supra
The Toyota Supra has a storied history that dates back to its inception in the late 1970s. Originally derived from the Toyota Celica, the Supra quickly established itself as a standalone model known for its performance and sleek design. Over the years, the Supra has become an icon in the automotive world, particularly noted for its role in motorsports and popular culture, including its prominent appearance in the “Fast and Furious” film franchise.
The new Supra aims to build on this legacy by incorporating modern technology while staying true to its roots. The decision to use a front-mounted, in-line six-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive is a nod to the classic Supra models, ensuring that the new version will deliver the same exhilarating driving experience that fans have come to expect.
