2018 Toyota Supra - the fifth generation of the iconic Japanese sports car arrives this year.
The history of the Toyota Supra is a story of success and passion for sports car racing. This model became the star of the Japanese manufacturer between 1978 and 2002, 24 years in which it was the favourite Japanese sports car of many lovers. The Supra always attracted attention because of its huge front, a sports design interior and a rear end crowned by a large rear spoiler. In addition, this car had a sale price interesting enough to be attractive even for import to Europe and North America, where he repeated the success in his native country. Currently, some versions of the original Toyota Supra are the target of collectors and lovers of motor sports, and fifteen years after concluding their production it is not difficult to see some units in drifting competitions or similar sports.
Originally the Toyota Supra was designed as the sportiest version of the then model star of the Japanese brand, the Celica. In fact, in the eastern market its name was Celica, and Supra only a surname that indicated that it was above the other versions. However, such was the demand of this model that later generations opted to become independent and maintain the denomination that turned it into living history of the engine: Supra.
For many years and after completing its production, the Toyota Supra became a kind of mythological animal of which there were only a handful of units in the world for some privileged. However, in 2014 Toyota had already started working on a new generation of the Toyota Supra to meet the demands of all those passionate about the engine. And after a lot of waiting, we finally know that the fifth generation of this model will hit the market in 2018. The new Supra has been developed jointly with BMW, so it can be expected to be even more sporting than you remember .
The first images that have been seen of this car are nothing more than some renders and spy photos of a test unit running through the Nürburgring. However, you can already guess which will be its most characteristic forms. Its appearance will be similar to the original model, with an elongated front and in this case will have a clean and futuristic design. The interior will respond to the most conceptual designs of BMW and Toyota, although it will have a finish inspired directly by the competition. Finally, the back part becomes more muscular and with a very sporty look drawn with modern lines. At the moment, everything indicates that the fifth generation of the Supra will dispense with its characteristic spoiler, although we hope that Toyota will reconsider considering a change like this.
Its power and price, still to be revealed
As for its engines and price, we still have no information available. Everything indicates that you will enjoy a generous amount of horsepower and, to the sadness of many, it may not be as affordable as you might expect. In any case there is still much to know about this new generation that will mean the rebirth of a myth.
