谍照记者最近拍到了丰田Supra最新照片,这次这辆原型车的伪装略少了一些。该车比过去更像量产版车型,前保险杠集成更大侧进气口,中间是更小进气口以便将更多冷空气输送至引擎。车顶似乎采用双泡形,同时可以看出,该车比宝马Z5要小很多。该车的侧面轮廓看上去不大对劲,轮胎与轮拱之间的缝隙很大,或者是测试车采用了小轮胎,或者是该车正在对悬挂设置进行测试。车尾可以看到双排气尾管和突出的行李箱盖扰流器。这款车还采用了水平设置尾灯组,不过或许这并非最终设计。整体来看,新车外观设计很可能与丰田三年前在北美车展发布的FT-1概念车类似,但最终量产版不会像概念车设计得那么夸张。这款高性能轿跑车将采用宝马引擎,顶级款还将利用丰田在混动技术上的优势提供电动驱动系统。该车将于明年下半年在麦格纳-斯太尔位于奥地利格拉茨的工厂投产,预计年产6万辆,未来宝马Z5也将增加轿跑车衍生版本。
2018 Toyota Supra sheds some camo to reveal more details
The Toyota Supra revival has made a comeback in a fresh batch of spy images showing a slightly less disguised prototype. It now has more production bits than ever, such as the front bumper with its large side air vents flanked by a smaller central vent to aid cooling of the engine. It looks like the double-bubble roof is here to stay and we are also able to observe the car is considerably smaller than the BMW Z5 roadster.
Either the wheels were small or there was something going on with the test vehicle’s suspension setup since from the side profile it doesn’t look quite right with that gap around the tires. Moving at the back, you will immediately notice the the dual exhaust tips and the prominent trunk lid spoiler. For the first time, it seems the resurrected Supra has the production model’s horizontal taillights, although that’s probably not the final design.
Overall, the exterior design will likely resemble the FT-1 concept introduced almost three years ago at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The similarities between the two are already showing up, but obviously the production car won’t look as exciting as the concept before it.
The high-performance coupe will allegedly use BMW engines and will receive a range-topping version with an electrified powertrain taking advantage of Toyota’s hybrid know-how.
Magna Steyr’s factory in Graz, Austria will take care of production, following the “Boyota’s” double debut likely to occur in the second half of next year. Combined annual production is expected to stand at approximately 60,000 units and it is believed the Z5 will eventually receive a coupe derivative later on.
