最近谍照记者在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在测试的2018款丰田Supra。车身侧面和车尾轮廓与FT-1概念车非常接近,而车尾的圆形尾灯组和固定尾翼表明该车的设计已经完成。这款车的动力系统有可能是宝马提供的直列六缸引擎或2.0升四缸引擎搭配宝马电机。丰田和宝马共同开发新一代Z5,预计输出功率在260-298千瓦/350-400马力之间。新一代Supra在赛道上的声音并不是最大的,不过也很难听到轮胎与路面摩擦发出的声音。从照片看,该车外观设计非常均衡,过弯角度适中,直线加速性能很快。新一代丰田Supra预计将在明年某个时间发布,随后将作为2018款车型上市。虽然目前不清楚价格,但预计将达到六位数。
2018 Toyota Supra shows off its skills on the Nurburgring
At this point, the anticipation might literally kill us; the arrival of the 2018 Toyota Supra can’t come soon enough. With plenty of teasers – whether it be the exceedingly handsome FT-1 or some vague spy shots — it seems like it’s only a matter of time before the new Supra is finally here.
Further building up the hype train, the sports car was spotted on the Nurburgring, putting its track skills to the test. The rear haunches and profile show off a strikingly similar style to the FT-1 concept, but new features like rounded taillights and fixed rear wing keep us speculating as to the final design.
Under the hood is reportedly either a BMW-sourced inline-six cylinder engine, or a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine aided by a pair of BMW electric motors. You might remember the project is being jointly developed with the German marque in co-development of the new Z5. Expected output is anywhere between 350-400 horsepower (260-298 kilowatts).
The new Supra doesn’t sound like the loudest car on the ‘Ring — though it's hard to hear anything over that tire squealing. What we can tell from the photos, though, is that the car looks pretty well balanced, and is able to take corners at a decent clip as well as accelerate pretty quickly on the straights.
The new Toyota Supra is expected to make its official debut sometime next year, and go on sale for the 2018 model year. Though there's no word on pricing just yet, Toyota is touting it as its new halo flagship, so six figures won't be out of the realm of possibility.
