Toyota announced last week that Supra will return in the NASCAR Xfinity Series series next year. The car that almost killed the 1969 Dodge Charger 500 in the hands of Paul Walker is a rare opponent of the Nissan Skyline GT-R.
From the birth in 1978 to the suspension of the fourth-generation model in 2002, Toyota Supra witnessed the rise of Japanese super-runs in the 1980s and 1990s and the decline of Japanese super-runs under the emission regulations of the early 21st century.
However, the fifth generation of Supra, code-named A90, has been determined to be back, and its production version information is gradually being exposed.
The fifth generation of Supra, which Toyota has developed with BMW since 2012, has always touched people's hearts.
At the Goodwood Speed Festival, which was held last week, the Toyota Supra fifth-generation model was unveiled. The new car captures the front face design language of the previous FT-1 concept car and the overall proportion of the body. The front LED headlights are very unique in shape. The front and rear fenders and the short and high-pitched tails show a sense of movement, and the Toyota 86 of the same-door sports car. More sharp than that.
At the end, the fifth-generation Supra uses a triangular LED taillight, and the overall layout is very similar to the fourth-generation Supra. The upturned rear spoiler looks more pronounced from the rear of the car. The tail exhaust is a two-sided, two-out layout.
Inside, the fifth-generation Supra is equipped with a three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, silver shift paddles, electronic gear, full LCD instrument, central control large screen and so on.
According to foreign media reports, the fifth generation Supra will be equipped with BMW's B48 2.0T inline four-cylinder and B58 3.0T in-line six-cylinder two engines. The 2.0T engine has a maximum power of 262 hp, and the 3.0T engine has a maximum power of 340 hp. The BMW M240i and other 40i models use similar engine tuning.
Tetsuya Tada, a Toyota engineer who led the development of the fifth-generation Supra in 2012, said: “The acceleration of the fifth-generation Supra is almost the same as that of the Lexus F-series.” The Lexus GS F and RC F both use a 5.0-liter V8 engine with peak torque. 538 Nm.
“Although the power parameters are quite different, Supra will be about 300 kilograms lighter than the F series,” he added.
In fact, the 5th generation Supra's 0-100km/h acceleration time is only 4.5 seconds, 0.5 seconds faster than the GS F.
Although the fifth-generation Supra has a platform with the Z4, it will have its own chassis tuning. Gerald Killmann, head of Toyota's European R&D, said that most of the car's research and development work was done by Toyota in Japan. So its relationship with Z4 does not become a twin relationship between 86 and BRZ.
Tetsuya Tada said that Supra will use rear-wheel drive like the previous four-generation models, instead of the rumored four-wheel drive.
As the chief engineer of Toyota 86, he said that he will apply the experience of developing after-drive to Supra, and will design a 50:50 front-to-weight ratio, and the center of gravity will be lower than 86.
It is known that the body size of the new car is 4379×1854×1290mm, the wheelbase is 2469mm, and the weight is expected to be 1490kg. Compared with the fourth-generation Supra, it is a bit shorter, a little taller and a bit wider.
According to Shigeki Tomoyama, the boss of Toyota's Gazo Racing division, Toyota President Akio Toyoda also played a very important role in the development of Supra. He hopes Supra can have a more flexible tail.
Finally, the company revealed that the fifth-generation Supra will be Toyota's last high-performance sports car that does not use any hybrid system.
