It's official: the new Toyota Supra will show us its face at the Goodwood Festival

Many manufacturers take advantage of motor shows to present their latest creations, but at certain times they turn to other kinds of events, such as the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Toyota has been preparing the new Supra for some time, a model that rises from its ashes after its disappearance in 2002. The fourth generation of the Japanese sports car left an important legacy, which will be carried on by its long-awaited and acclaimed fifth generation, which arrives offering tuning and a dynamic level far superior to what we already knew.

The new Toyota Supra joins the brand’s range of models as its second sports car, since the GT-86 will continue to be offered as a faithful companion for adventures. However, the Japanese manufacturer has decided to take the Supra to the next level, with the aim of offering considerably higher performance and a higher level of finish.

To be part of this emblematic revival we have had to be patient for a long time and keep our nerves and curiosity on edge, but the wait is over. Toyota has confirmed on its social media that it will be at the next Goodwood Festival of Speed that the Supra makes its appearance and is unveiled to the world to delight us with the attributes the Japanese manufacturer has given it.

Let’s remember that this new Toyota Supra is born from a collaboration with BMW, since the Japanese model will share numerous elements with the future Z4, which so far we have only been able to see under camouflage. However, the Japanese sports car has decided to take the lead and, despite being a counterpart of the German one, Toyota has decided to give it its own personal touch and accentuate its features in keeping with the Supra name.

For now Toyota has not provided official data on the mechanics that will bring its new Supra to life, but we can be sure that supercharging and rear-wheel drive will be two characteristic features of the Japanese sports car. At the same time, we could find an engine of over 2.0 litres of displacement with power close to 370 CV, a figure that will be the perfect complement to the low weight the Supra will register on the scales.

The Goodwood Festival will kick off on the 13th of July, an event where not only will certain models such as the Supra be presented, but we will also be able to see them in action on the track. In the meantime, we will have to settle for the photograph Toyota has provided of a Supra under camouflage, which nevertheless lets us make out and glimpse its final shape.
