2019 Toyota Supra Rumored To Be Shorter And Lighter Than Its Predecessor

After years of spy photos and anticipation, Toyota will finally preview the all-new Supra with a concept at the Geneva Motor Show.

While the teaser image suggests the concept will be more aggressive than the production model, new details are starting to emerge about the car.

According to Japan’s Best Car magazine, the production model will measure 4380 mm (172.4 inches) long, 1855 mm (73 inches) wide and 1,290 mm (50.7 inches) tall with a wheelbase that spans 2,470 mm (97.2 inches). If these numbers pan out, the car would be slightly shorter and wider than the previous-generation Supra.

The report also claims the car will be powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine that develops 335 hp (249 kW) and up to 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) of torque when overboost is factored in. The engine will reportedly be paired to an eight-speed automatic transmission which should make the model relatively quick considering it is rumored to have a curb weight of 1,496 kg (3,284 lbs).

This should be taken with a relatively unhealthy dose of salt as the magazine’s past claims have included everything from an all-new Toyota MR2 to a 300 hp (223 kW) Toyota 86 with all-wheel drive. That being said, the numbers are somewhat plausible but only time will tell.
