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.

  • Grand Tourer’

    Grand Tourer’

    MEDIA Media information 8:00 ET, April 3, 2019 — McLaren readies rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’ . The McLaren of Grand Tourers reveals its sleek, elegant shape . First announced by CEO, Mike Flewitt, during McLaren’s Geneva press conference . Disguising camouflage to be removed in May . The fourth McLaren to be revealed under the company’sTrack25 business plan . Follow cars.mclaren.com/newrules McLaren has removed the shape-changing, additional body panels previously used to hide the form of its imminent, rule-breaking ‘Grand Tourer’. The car’s sleek and boldly elegant design can now be discerned although the lightweight body remains covered by a shrink-wrapped livery that suggests the number of established rules the McLaren of Grand Tourers will break. The company is promising it will begin to peel off this disguise this May. The application of the shrink-wrap will also enable the Development Team to enter the closing stages of the car’s extensive evaluation program, which has already encompassed thousands of miles in hot and cold climates across the globe. The ‘Grand Tourer’ has proven its ability to cover long distances in supreme comfort, but always with extra shape-changing and noise-inducing panels applied. Now that these have been removed, the Development Team will run further validation tests, including a 1,000 mile drive from McLaren’s development base near Barcelona, Spain, back to the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking, England. To be completed in one stint with two occupants and a full complement of luggage, this is one of many long-distance drives that will help the team to confirm the new model is both comfortable and refined over the long distances a grand tourer is expected to consume … one rule that McLaren won’t be breaking.
