As for this fifth-generation Supra, it has plenty of race-suitable attributes thanks to its BMW Z4-based platform, giving it rear-wheel drive, short wheelbase and wide track. Toyota Gazoo Racing's GT4 design and engineering study increases the GR Supra's length and reduces its height; a specially-designed front diffuser and rear wing made from natural fibres such as hemp and flax have been added to reduce drag and optimise downforce. The wheels used on the concept are five-hole OZ 11 x 18in racing items. Competition springs, shock absorbers and anti-roll bars beef up theMacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension, and brakes go to high-performance Brembo units. The 3.0-litre straight-six and automatic transmission retain the single twin-scroll turbocharger but gain a motorsport-grade ECU, bespoke wiring looms, motorsport-specification driveshafts and limited-slip differential.

The cabin is stripped-out and fitted with a high-strength roll cage, FIA-standard fire extinguisher and OMP racing seat, and there's a motorsport-specific fuel tank and a fast refuelling system. The concept's weight hasn't been revealed, and there are no performance figures available at this stage—so now it's apparently down to whether or not enough potential customers come forward.
