The upcoming fifth-generation Toyota Supra unveiled as a prototype at the recent Goodwood Festival of Speed, and built in tandem with the new BMW Z4 took seven years to build. "The normal cycle for car development is around three years," explains the Supra"s chief engineer Tetsuya Tada. "But with this project we wanted to make absolutely sure it was right." Tada-san was also the man responsible for the GT86, a car he said is the middle sibling in Toyota boss Akio Toyoda"s vision of a three-sibling sports car family. "Akio has always said that as a company he would like to have Three Brothers, with the GT86 in the middle and Supra as the big brother. So we"ve tried to aim for the Supra to offer an overwhelming superiority in all attributes," he added.
