Just a few days ago, Toyota hinted that it’d showcase a prototype for the new Supra at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Now with the event set to open in just a few more days, it’s confirmed the show car’s presence, and dropped another photo and additional details in the process. Shown in the image above alongside the previous concept, the latest prototype is heavily camouflaged in a red, white, black, and grey camouflage wrap to disguise its form. But the overall shape can still be seen, and it looks slick. And it won’t be sitting still on the Earl of March’s front lawn, either: it’ll be making the run up the hill, marking its dynamic debut. Inside the cockpit for the debut run will be the Supra’s chief engineer Testuya Tada and test driver Herwig Daenens, a Dutch racer with considerable ties to the Japanese automaker’s European motorsports program. The manufacturer confirms that the new Supra will stay true to its heritage with a straight six mounted up front, driving the ...

Toyota will take the new generation Supra to the 2018 Goodwood Festival of Speed next week, as announced in an official tweet by the company’s European social media channel. Accompanying the teaser that shows a camouflaged prototype is a short caption that says: “Toyota Supra is back. A90. At Goodwood Festival of Speed 2018″. Despite looking like an imminent reveal, nobody outside Toyota knows at this point what the automaker has in store. Looking at the single teaser image, it seems that the Japanese company plans to show off the new Supra wearing its final production bodywork wrapped with a colorful camo wrap. So far, we know that the fifth generation Toyota Supra, codenamed A90, will probably use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine, reportedly producing 335 horsepower and 369 pound-feet (500 Nm) of torque. A GRMN derivative will eventually join the lineup, serving as the range-topping model. Despite having the same underpinnings as the new BMW Z4, the upcoming Toyo...

Volkswagen Motorsport has released a handful of teaser images which suggest something interesting is in the works. The company is keeping details a secret but tagged the posts with "#UnfinishedBusiness #ChallengeReloaded #1Score2settle #VW." Those same tags appeared in a later post showing the company's 1987 run at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado. The video goes on to suggest the car will compete in the 2018 Pikes Peak Hill Climb which takes place on June 24th. For those unfamiliar with Volkswagen's 1987 attempt, the company ran a unique Golf which was equipped with two different 1.8-liter engines. Despite an impressive showing, the car developed problems and had to retire. While Volkswagen is staying quiet, Autocar is reporting the car could have an electric powertrain. Nothing is official but the teaser images don't appear to show any air intakes and this could back up their theory. The teaser images look unlike anything in Volk...

Acura has dropped the first official images of the  NSX-based EV Concept , which will tackle this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb.  Developed by Honda's R&D department, its four  electric motors  with separate Twin Motor Units (TMU) on each axle, described by the manufacturer as "the brains of Sport Hybrid SH-AWD", provide independent torque distribution. The all-electric NSX will go up the 12.42 miles (19.99 km) long course and through its demanding 156 corners with Tetsuya Yamano , the man who drove last year's CR-Z-based electric prototype, behind the wheel.  " We've been tuning the car for several weeks at Pikes and have advanced its performance significantly. We're honored to be running at Pikes in this historical, anniversary year - an event respected by racing fans all over the world ", said Yamano.  The zero-emission supercar concept will be put through its paces on June 26, and it will be joined at the hillclimb by ...
