2020 GR Supra Page 1 “Toyota lovers are waiting for the Supra. I think we need a Supra story again.” – Akio Toyoda, President, Toyota Motor Corporation 3.0 Premium shown in Renaissance Red 2.0. Prototype shown with options. Page 2 HERITAGE The story of Supra. With DNA sourced directly from the legendary 2000 GT, each and every Supra has shared the same core fundamentals: an inline-six up front, Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and a modern chassis. As Toyota’s purest expression of performance, Supra has redefined the sports car time and time again. And, as we prepare to launch the next chapter of Supra, let’s revisit the past to see how the marque evolved from grand tourer to pure driver’s car. 3.0 Premium shown in Renaissance Red 2.0. Prototype shown with options. Page 3 HERITAGE A40 (1978-1981) The Supra story starts with the Celica, which provided the base for the original first-gen Toyota Celica Supra (A40) in 1978. Using the Celica Liftback as a starting point, Toyota engineers lengthened the chassis, dropped in an advanced inline 6-cylinder engine and incorporated the latest in comfort and technology to create a true grand tourer. ENGINE: 2.8-LITER 5M-E POWER: 116 HP/145 LB.-FT. OF TORQUE 0-60: 10.2 SECONDS A60 (1982-1985) The crisp lines and pop-up headlights of the second-generation (A60) Supra only amplify its stunning ‘80s aesthetic. Still an upgraded version of the era’s Celica, the A60 was offered in two flavors: the luxurious “L-type” and the performance- minded “P-type.” With its larger wheels and tires, bulging fiberglass flares and optional aero, the P-type would lay the groundwork for Supra’s dedication to pure performance. ENGINE: 2.8-LITER 5M-E POWER: 161 HP/169 LB.-FT. OF TORQUE 0-60: 8.4 SECONDS Page 4 HERITAGE A70 (1986-1993) Supra became a stand-alone model with the introduction of the third generation in 1986. This clean-sheet design allowed Toyota engineers to build the car from the ground up with pure performance in mind. The A70 was a showcase of technology and was the first Supra to feature a turbocharged engine, power-enhancing variable air induction and electronically adjustable dampers. ENGINE: 3.0-LITER 7M-GTE POWER: 232 HP/254 LB.-FT. OF TORQUE 0-60: 6.4 SECONDS A80 (1993-1998) Sports car. Icon. Pop-culture phenomenon. The fourth-generation A80 Supra is all that and more. An artful blend of style, technology and performance, the A80 is truly a timeless machine, feeling as fresh and modern today as it did when first introduced in 1993. With its nearly perfect weight balance, impressive 2JZ engine and unmistakable styling, the A80 Supra will forever be legendary. ENGINE: 3.0-LITER 2JZ-GTE POWER: 320 HP/315 LB.-FT.

Racing gives us the opportunity to challenge ourselves, to find what works, and fix what doesn’t. Collectively we grow through every turn of the wrench and every turn of the wheel. This dedication to growth has helped us win everything from the FIA World Rally Championship to the FIA World Endurance Championship. And the lessons we learn on the racetrack help us create ever-better cars for the road. Page 6 MOTORSPORTS FIA WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP With endurance racing events all across the globe, the FIA World Endurance Championship pushes drivers, cars and their teams to their absolute limits. Toyota GAZOO Racing’s highly advanced TS050 Hybrid race cars pushed through these challenges to secure the overall win in the 2018-2019 LMP1 World Endurance Championship. FIA WORLD RALLY CHAMPIONSHIP One of the most punishing racing series in the world, World Rally Championship (WRC) sees production-based race cars fly through the air, scramble over gravel and slide through tree-lined snowdrifts. Our passion to be the best helped Toyota GAZOO Racing take home the WRC 2018 Manufacturers’ Title. Vehicle modified for off-road racing. Do not attempt. Page 7 EXTERIOR/DESIGN Beautifully engineered. A sports car should be captivating, with a design that feels as alluring as it does powerful. We made no compromises with GR Supra’s design; each and every aspect is defined by its contribution to overall driving performance. Its silhouette stirs all the right emotions, with generous curves and daring shapes that excite the senses. That it all comes together in a package that provides an optimum coefficient of drag and excellent downforce means that GR Supra is no mere sports car — it’s a work of art. Concept illustration shown. Page 8 LIFESTYLE The legend. Reborn. The 2020 GR Supra. Our passion for sports cars runs deep. Toyota has been racing since 1957, and we have been making sports cars for the road since 1962. Racing is in our DNA, and with each new generation of automobile, this genetic code continues to evolve. It becomes stronger. More focused. And it forms the foundation of our purest sports car yet: the 2020 Toyota GR Supra. Its mission: to allow driver, car and road to become one, for maximum driving pleasure. The new era of performance is here. Strap in. 3.0 Premium shown in Renaissance Red 2.0, Absolute Zero, Nitro Yellow37 and Downshift Blue. Prototypes shown with options.
