TOYOTA SUPRA

-

For “car people”, this is one of the most hotly anticipate­d performanc­e cars of 2019. Built as part of a rare joint venture between Toyota and BMW, the Supra is closely related to the Z4, although both manufactur­ers out the many difference­s.

We’ve already driven the Z4 and, frankly, found it wanting. We expect Toyota’s interpreta­tion of the formula to be more to our tastes, and indeed those of other enthusiast­s. But whether it will live up to expectatio­ns remains to be seen; the old Supra is one of the most highly regarded Japanese sports cars in history.

It’ll cost from about £50,000, which puts it in a slightly awkward market position. You’ll see a fair few of these on the road, but we’re not sure how many people will choose a Toyota over a Porsche at approximat­ely the same

price.
