When The A90 Toyota Supra is finally here EQUAL a means of productiondetractors immediately crawled out of the woodwork to hate it shares the BMW platform. Never mind Toyota releases chassis specificationsnever mind Engineers in Japan handle the final adjustment – only one BMW logo on oil filter, meaning the car is very bad. Well, now there are signs that the Supra will collapse in the next two years. Hope you are happy.
A report from Automotive news announced that Supra will be discontinued in 2026, next to the BMW Z4, when production ends at the Magna Steyr factory in Austria. Send BMW is reluctant to give the Z4 another chanceIt looks like Toyota will have to build the next-generation Supra itself – something that seems unlikely given the company’s plans. reluctant to build coupes without a partner. You win, haters: The car you despised for being German is now completely dead. Is that better?
There is some hope for the continuation of the Supra line, and it comes from one of Toyota’s most specialized transmissions: Tetsuya Tada himself. During the first launch of the A90 Supra, Tada-san spoke Nostalgic Japanese Car that the A100 will be on the table – finally:
“One day, the A100 will appear, but the flavor may be very different,” Tada-san replied: “It could be an electric car, or an autonomous car, or like a public car. final E. Who knows. The A100 could take the Supra name in a completely different direction. Definitely different from the A70 and A80 series.”
He then brought the conversation back to his mentor. “I want to continue Suzuki-san’s wishes, but when I transfer command to a new engineer, I don’t know what will develop.”
When the time comes for A100, Tada-san will probably retire.
If you all hate the awesome ZF 8HP transmission that the Supra debuted with, how will you like the electric version? An autonomous version? In your search for some purity, some imagined perfection, you let a great car slip through your fingers.
