Description
“The Supra returns after 17 years away. This racing version competed at the N?rburgring in 2019.”
The GR Supra is Toyota’s flagship sportscar which made a comeback in 2019 after being out of production for 17 years. Inheriting the traditional rear wheel drive and inline 6 cylinder engine, Toyota selected BMW as a development partner and evolved the car into a 21st century pure sportscar with 2 seats, an advanced chassis and twin scroll turbo.
The GR Supra showed itself for the first time at the N?rburgring 24 hour race in 2018, a year before its release. Under the slogan ‘To make even better cars’, it also entered the SP8T class in 2019 after its release.
With Masahiro Sasaki, Uwe Kleen, Herwig Daenens, and Morizo at the wheel, they started the final race from 99th place, and raised their position steadily, avoiding the numerous accidents that happened at the beginning of the race. 8 hours into the race, they were involved in a contact incident with a car from a higher class, but the car drove on to finish the race in a respectable 41st place overall, and 3rd in its class.
This is a car that has created the impression of the GR Supra, as a true competition sportscar.
