It finally happened: the new Toyota Supra finally made its debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. But there’s good news and bad news. The good news is that the Supra was driven up the Goodwood hill and we can see it in action for a minute. The bad news is that the sports car is still camouflaged, which means that we might not see it in the metal just yet. Not surprisingly, the Supra appeared at Goodwood in the same black, white, and red "suit" as seen in the company’s recent teaser photos. The coupe seems ready to go into production, but the camo still hides some of the important bits. What’s more, Toyota has yet to release info about the car as of this writing, so we still don’t know what goes around under the skin. But based on what we can hear, this Supra is likely the Gazoo Racing version, as the engine that roars under the hood sounds really mean. And I’m pretty sure its the twin-turbo, 3.0-liter, inline-six from the BMW Z4, with upgrades from Toyota’s racing arm of course. We should find out more about this car soon, so make sure you stay tuned for updates. Further reading Read our full speculative review on the 2019 Toyota Supra.

Read more Goodwood Festival of Speed.<doc-sep>After years of rumors, speculations, spy photos, and renderings, the revived Toyota Supra is finally making a debut dynamic appearance at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. A near-production prototype of the Japanese sports car, dubbed A90, has made a demonstrational run up the hill, hinting about its potential. From what we are able to see, the man behind the steering wheel is definitely not pushing the showcar to its limits. Even so, we can clearly hear the nice exhaust sound of the inline-six turbo under the hood. Hopefully, the final production version will be much faster in corners, but – hey – this is still only a prototype, right? Unfortunately, Toyota is still keeping a full body camouflage and is not letting anyone see the final shapes of the new Supra. Also, the engine under the hood remains a mystery, but we already know a great deal about it. According to a recent report, the new Supra will use a 3.0-liter BMW-sourced turbocharged powertrain, delivering 335 horsepower (250 kilowatts) and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) to the rear wheels through an automatic gearbox with two clutches. If that’s not enough power for your taste, a more powerful GRMN version will eventually join the range, as confirmed by Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada. An entry-level variant with a 2.0-liter turbo rated at 248 hp (185 kW) is also rumored to be on the drawing board. According to unconfirmed details, the revived sports car in V6 flavor will need just 4.5 seconds to hit 62 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) from a standstill. We hope Toyota will finally reveal the Supra in full before the year’s end and order books should open early next year with prices reportedly starting at $63,500. Until then, enjoy the first dynamic appearance of the Supra at the Goodwood Festival of Speed from the video at the top.

Toyota brought the latest prototype of its new Supra to the Goodwood Festival of Speed this week. The automaker will make daily runs on the hill climb course from July 12 to 15. It's already completed its first run, which you can watch in the video below. There's not a whole lot we can suss out from this camouflage, which was shown off earlier 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. It will likely borrow BMW's 3.0-liter I6, and rumors peg the output around 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, with a more powerful version coming later by way of Toyota's GRMN performance line. Toyota expects the 2020 Supra to make it to dealerships "during the first half of 2019." That means we could see the real-deal production model as early as the Paris Motor Show in October or the Los Angeles Auto Show in November. In the meantime, enjoy this early peek at the Supra's dynamics.<doc-sep>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 prototype wore the red, white, and black livery of Toyota Gazoo Racing, as well as special badging. Now that we have a closer look, we can see the prototype bears a resemblance to the FT-1 concept that debuted in 2014, although it's significantly toned down. The hood doesn't look nearly as long, and the grille, headlights, and body lines look much more conventional. Like the concept, there are narrow taillights and a rear ducktail spoiler—though it doesn't look like the concept's retractable active wing made it to production.

The two-seater will boast a perfect 50:50 weight balance front to rear, Toyota claims. It will also achieve a lower center of gravity than the Toyota 86 and double that car's body rigidity. The prototype will make daily runs on the hillclimb course through July 15, with Supra chief engineer Tetsuya Tada and test driver Herwig Daenens behind the wheel. Toyota has confirmed the Supra will go on sale internationally in the first half of next year. Watch the video for a sneak peek of what to expect.

Gif : Goodwood Road & Racing ( YouTube The new Toyota Supra made its “world debut” on Thursday at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, once again reminding us that we still don’t know a lot about the car and that Toyota likes it that way. We haven’t even seen it, really. Details, though, right? If we’re counting, this is about the fourth Supra debut since Toyota announced it was bringing the car back in March. Toyota announced the car’s production plans with the GR Supra Racing Concept, then debuted a NASCAR Xfinity Series version that’s shaped nothing like the street car and will run a V8. Since Toyota never said anything about the original GR Racing Concept’s specs, we learned its 591-horsepower figure from Gran Turismo Sport, of all things. Now, we’re here. Whichever number debut we’re on now, Toyota’s calling it the “world debut” of the street car. The company sent a development Supra model to the Goodwood Festival of Speed to make hillclimb runs this weekend in a camouflage wrap, because what good is a car debut unless you prolong it for at least a year? With Toyota’s announcement of this Goodwood debut earlier this week, we got confirmation that the car will keep the Supra’s historically inline-six engine and rear-wheel-drive layout. We’ve also known for a while now that it’s a Toyota-BMW collaboration, and the sound is reminiscent of an M3 in this video. We don’t know much else, other than the plan is for the Supra to come onto the market in the first half of 2019 and that the chances of a manual transmission are about as good as the chances of Toyota debuting the car in a normal, non-frustrating manner. (“Debut” should probably be in quotation marks there.) But that won’t happen. The secrecy seems to be part of the fun for Toyota.
