It gets the beautiful matte grey paint scheme with red mirror caps and matte-black wheels. The interiors get decked up in a carbon-fibre trim. It is a unique colour combination and will not be available with any other 2020 Toyota Supra from the factory. The car’s engine cover has been specially signed by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda.

The all-new Supra has been developed with BMW. It is making a comeback after 17 long years. It is the fifth generation Supra and it keeps the retro-ish modern design alive. The all-new Supra is powered by a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder, twin-scroll turbocharged engine that produces a maximum power of 335 Bhp and a peak torque of 495 Nm.

The power goes to the rear wheel through a new 8-speed automatic transmission. Toyota claims that it can do 0-100 km/h in just 4.1 km/h and reach a top speed of 250 km/h. The Supra gets a perfect 50:50 weight distribution and a double bubble roof for aerodynamic design.
