Toyota And Nissan Target Goodwood As Launching Pad For Supra and GT-R50
Two of Japan's best-known sports models made a surprise appearance at this month's Goodwood Festival of Speed. Toyota's all-new A90 Supra and the Nissan GT-R50 by Italdesign turned up in the paddock area to much interest from the thousands of fans and then strutted their stuff by barrelling up the famous hill. Meanwhile, senior Nissan staff were at Goodwood in force to reveal the brand's just-announced GT-R50 by Italdesign.

Even if someone would be crazy enough to pay $2M for a Supra, it's not like they could even buy it since Toyota isn't selling it.Toyota Will Build a Four-Cylinder Supra

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.
