Watch the Toyota Supra Prototype Rip Through the Goodwood Hillclimb
We've been hearing about a Toyota Supra revival for years, and now we finally get to see it in action. A Toyota Supra prototype made its world debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed today, where it zipped through the famous hillclimb and sounded pretty great in the process. The hood doesn't look nearly as long, and the grille, headlights, and body lines look much more conventional. The Toyota Supra, also called the A90, will pack a turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that drives the rear wheels. The two-seater will boast a perfect 50:50 weight balance front to rear, Toyota claims.Toyota is debuting the production Supra at Goodwood
As it stated in 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 New Toyota Supra Run the Goodwood Hill Climb
We've only been waiting a decade to hear what the new Supra sounds like. At the kickoff of the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday, Toyota sent a Supra prototype wearing negligee for camouflage up the hill, revealing for the first time how the returning model sounds. During the car's run, a V-6-like exhaust note is emitted, and the commentators speculate performance specifications including a horsepower output of approximately 340 and a curb weight of 1,500 kilograms (3,307 pounds). More from TheDriveToyota's social media also confirmed that the prototype seen is indeed representative of the production car. The lack of a rear seat supports this description, though the Z4's lack of need for such may have taken the decision from Toyota's hands.
