Toyota is debuting the production Supra at Goodwood

Way, way back in March at the Geneva Motor Show, Toyota teased the world with the racing concept version of its new Supra. Naturally, we were pretty excited, but what we really wanted was the production version of the car. Apparently, we'll be getting our first look at just that next week during the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new Supra is a car that's had an incredibly long gestation period and which will either blow enthusiasts' minds or leave them disappointed and clamoring for a keyboard on which to write long screeds in forums. Toyota Europe let slip the news that it would have a production Supra at Goodwood via its Twitter account and posted an image of a camouflaged car with it.

Watch the Toyota Supra make its Goodwood debut

The Toyota Supra is ready to roll, even if we have to stare at a camouflaged body for a little while longer. Toyota brought the latest prototype of its new Supra to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week. There's some inspiration from the Toyota FT-1 concept, and there's likely to be something shared with the upcoming BMW Z4 revival, since the two vehicles share the same chassis. Toyota already said that the Supra will rely on a straight-six gas engine, mated to a dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. Toyota expects the 2020 Supra to make it to dealerships "during the first half of 2019."

Toyota confirms straight-six power for Supra with new teaser

according to ToyotaToyota confirmed last week that it will debut the new Supra at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, but before that happens, it has at least one more teaser up its sleeve. Toyota threw out a new teaser for the Supra, this time showing off its rear end. Before you get too excited about seeing the production Supra, be aware that the production-ready version of the Supra isn't coming to Goodwood. Prototype or not, we're excited to see what Toyota has in store for Goodwood. The Festival of Speed kicks off in southern England later this week, so we don't have much longer to wait.

Toyota Will Build a Four-Cylinder Supra

In this document, the Toyota Supra gets multiple entries under both the J29 and GT86 platform designations. The document also lists the new BMW Z4, which shares a platform with the Supra but gets its own platform designation, G29. Tada also elaborated, saying the four-cylinder Supra will be lighter, with "much better weight distribution" and a sharper-feeling turn-in. Tada also remarked that, for the Supra owners who plan to swap in a 2JZ engine, "please buy the four-cylinder. The BMW engineering behind the Supra was also very apparent when Toyota ran a prototype at Goodwood last weekend.
