This is no longer a secret to anyone, Toyota is preparing to launch a new sports car that could very well revive the name Supra.

And according to the latest information circulating on the web, a new concept we are closer to the production version will be unveiled a little later this month in the framework of the motor Show in Tokyo.

Developed in partnership with BMW, this new sports car will give in fact rise to two distinct models, one for Toyota and one for BMW. The manufacturer from munich has already given a good idea of what their vehicle will look like with the concept of the new generation of the Z4 roadster.

We’ll know probably a little bit more in a few weeks. Patience…
