Following the first public sightings of the upcoming Toyota Supra, the Japanese sports car is now seen undergoing tests at the Nürburgring. Developed in parallel with the upcoming BMW Z5, the Supra appears to wear a more curvaceous exterior than its German twin.
Like the BMW Z5, the Supra is expected to employ a hybrid all-wheel-drive powertrain, with petrol power coming from a range of BMW inline four- or six-cylinder turbocharged engines, possibly including the S55 twin-turbocharged inline-six which powers the M3/M4 performance models.
The most powerful Supra will be a hybrid with supercapacitors and all-wheel-drive; the Z5 will share a common rear-wheel-drive platform, while the Japanese automaker will also draw upon BMW’s expertise in carbon fibre construction for its body, as already demonstrated in the BMW i3, i8 and G12 7 Series.
From earlier sightings of the interior, the Toyota Supra shares almost all of its dashboard architecture with the BMW Z5. Considering that the designers have managed to differentiate the two sufficiently on the exterior, here’s hoping that the interior stands to gain at least as much individuality.

P2 no need road test unlike big bro toyota. P2 > toyota
Clap clap clap john, the heading read “Toyota Supra takes to the Nürburgring”. I still can’t link how U pin/link P2 into this equation.

Proton, pls rebadge this one pls
Hahahhhahahahahha nampak sangat takda duit nak beli yang ni, harap proton rebadge yg ni pun jadilah HAHAHAHAHHA, tu lah kecil2 tak nak belajar, dah besar menyusahkan orang tua
I guess Toyota’s technology is only on the hybrid system , everything else is BMW. That’s a bit shame. Why can’t Toyota use their own powertrain?
By sharing knowledge and expertise they can develop better cars at half the costs and half the time. Bmw will want to have access to Toyota’s parallel-series hybrid system while Toyota may want to learn something else from BMW
Sharing the chassis is acceptable, but sharing the engine from a European marque is a definite no-no. Don’t think Honda & Nissan would allow this to happen especially for their halo sportscar..
“the Supra appears to wear a more curvaceous exterior than its Japanese twin”. Shouldn’t it be German (BMW Z5)?
You’re right, thanks for the spot.
I guess its a case of mistaken identity. You know, GT86 and BRZ :)
Supra? seriously? sure it isnt an updated prelude?
Why so ugly eeewwww!!!!!
