After years of rumors, the suspense pulls visibly at its end.

On the 6th of march, in the framework of the opening of the auto Show in Geneva, the japanese manufacturer will unveil a new concept of race which, it is said, “signalling the desire of Toyota to resurrect the legendary sports car”. It promises to.

For the moment, all that has to be put in the tooth is this photo (above) of the rear end of the concept which will be unveiled next month. We can see that there is a huge spoiler affixed to the trunk of a vehicle in the wings inflated. For the rest, let’s just say it leaves much to the imagination.

We may also believe that the future Supra will borrow some stylistic elements of the concept FT-1, unveiled there are already four years old.

A partnership that makes your mouth

Toyota has not yet officially announced that the vehicle will adopt the appellation Supra, but in speaking of reviving its legendary sports car, the manufacturer gives us a very big clue.

Regardless of the name, we know that this future sports car is unveiled in partnership with the German manufacturer BMW.

At BMW, the result of this partnership will become the new generation of the Z4, which has already introduced the concept last summer.
