CARS OF THE WORLD

Restyling Toyota Supra 2019 model year.

Long before the times when, pretty, but even then the bald face of Wine Diesel was shot in Fast and Furious. When the planet was undividedly owned by Nokia «from the Matrix». We even imagined 100MB of space … It was then that the streets of all the cities of the world, mostly at night, now and again heard the sounding, like, music for those in the subject, squealing Toyota Supra wheels.

This name is inextricably linked with the history of street racing. He was destined in many ways to shape the image of an era in this culture. Therefore, it is infinitely pleasing that the Japanese have finally heeded the pleas of the public. They decided to return this legend back to their lineup.

Restyling Toyota Supra 2019 model year.

The spouse was filmed in clips. Did the heroine of the films. Particularly warmly remembered by fans of NFS and GT. After all, its rugged and hardy 2JZ-GTE was envied even by the owners of Ferrari and Lamborghini … And when the painfully familiar long, with a thoroughbred nose in 2014, the audience saw at one of the motor show. It could not be confused with any conceptual badges like «FT-1». Everyone knew: this is the new birth of Supra.

And although the series in 2019, she is going to enter a little less spectacular in appearance. Nevertheless, we rejoice, it happened. The legendary sports coupe is already very soon preparing to settle again in our garages and on the tracks!

New in the exterior and the design of the coupe.

Now the Toyotovs are completing its run-in in different conditions. Including it was possible to fix it on winter tests, and on a hungry rumbling of the engine. Also traditionally a sharp grip of the «hook» chassis. We can conclude that this time also the tandem of Toyota-BMW will surprise and delight the audience.

By the way, cooperation is expressed in the fact that the new Supra will borrow from the German brother Z4 platform in addition to a pair of motors. Therefore, it is worth waiting for some resemblance to a similar model from Munich.

New in the exterior and the design of the coupe.

But, she does not accept any compromises towards the soft top. Only classic, only streetstyle. By the way, it is this chassis that will allow the vehicle to jump from the class personified by the 911 Porsche in the one in which Lotus rules. But, they will do this for a reason — Supra thanks to this and a significant increase in the percentage of carbon fiber in the structure will be easier (just 1.35 tons) and even more bright.

True, a little alarming is one: some sections of the highway pass in a deathly silence, in which many saw a hint of the long-promised hybridization of the racing variation. Well, on the one hand, the Conservatives will, of course, be outraged.

On the other hand, what allows Toyota to perform so deservingly at 24-hours that Le Mans that Spa, objectively can not make the model worse. In the end, life does not stand still and we must move forward.

Camouflage imposed on the mule was artful. Although it is clear that in a pristine form of the concept on the conveyor can not get. Still looks like a model chic. Firm wide, disproportionately long. A falling hood, like a beak of a giant bird. Ends in Japanese cunningly squinted headlight cut.

As if the car is already busy counting cups and medals. Which she will take in future competitions. Huge shaped air intakes almost without any changes came here from the concept. And the rest of the stampings and body lines. They, too, come straight from there.

Although, maybe not in such an expressive interpretation.
Remarkably looks and the rear with a grotesquely raised trunk line, two predatory exhaust pipes. And also by the narrowed lanterns echoing the style to a front light. Well, and, finally, the image is completed by the huge notches of wheel arches. Completely repeating the image of the stars of the tracks.

Interior design and equipment of new items

The salon concept, unlike the technical stuffing and external data, was much less prone to revolutionary changes. As many could have guessed by looking at the concept. The form factor remains the same. The same strict focus on driving (first of all) comfort. Double room.

As for the equipment. It will present the latest and most actual vision of the Japanese truly safe, responsive and multifunctional ride. A huge modern screen of the on-board computer is proposed. It adjusts the entire digital instrument cluster. And also a very original kind of selector.

Specifications of the car

As for the hardcore sport version of the model. It is known that under the hood, the authentic TS050 Hybrid will rustle. He gives (now there will be a couple of heart attacks …) 986 horses! There is information from insiders. That in the civil version it can be the same. But, naturally, in the deformed hypostasis. It is easy to calculate that it will also become something of awe inspiring competitors.

Other car specifications are expected as follows:
a six-cylinder engine for 3l and 340hp. (as an alternative — a four-cylinder turbo at 2l with 200 / 250hp — also a gift from German colleagues);
acceleration to a hundred for 3.8s;
an eight-speed automatic transmission with a torque converter;
rear drive;
length — 4,38 m, width — 1,855 m, height — 1,29 m, wheelbase — 2,47.

Judging by the fact that the model has changed visually. She began to gravitate very much towards the hatchback. And also according to the initially quite compromise numerous options for the equipment. Here too, changes. Toyota has prepared for us the birth of another of its flagship. It will now be bought not only as a track toy. But also as a full life partner.

The competition is already preparing to compose a fairly serious opponents in the face of the 370Z. Also new generations of best-selling Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang.

But the analogues for the segment from Mercedes-Benz (C-class), 4-series BMW, ATS-Coupe from Cadillac and the fifth coupe Audi. Considering the fame of the model and its past, it seems only incidentally happened at her party. Since they are far from being militant. Not to mention the difference in the price range.
