Toyota has revealed its own hotted-up version of the reborn GR Supra sports car, with the Performance Line concept likely previewing a set of factory accessories that will be offered at dealerships.
Conceived by the Japanese brand’s TRD performance sub-brand, the show car features several exterior parts, most of which are made from lightweight carbon-fibre.
These include a front splitter with side fins that increase downforce and reduce lift alongside side skirt extensions, rear spats and a bootlid-mounted ducktail spoiler.

At the rear of the coupe is a bootlid-mounted ducktail spoiler.
A bolt-on side garnish adds more visual flair but also improves aerodynamics by smoothing airflow to the rear end.
Finally, a set of lightweight 19-inch forged aluminium wheels feature a multi-double-spoke design and are finished in black and wrapped in Michelin tyres.
While no upgrades to the Supra’s engines – including the 250kW/500Nm 3.0-litre turbo-petrol in-line six-cylinder unit headed for Australia – have been detailed, TRD said more parts are coming soon.
Until then, Australian Supra fans will need to get in quick, as Toyota Australia has confirmed just 300 examples of the sports car will head Down Under in the first 12 months of sales.
Can the reborn Toyota Supra’s looks be improved? Tell us what you think in the comments below.

Justin’s dad chose to miss his birth because he wanted to watch Peter Brock hopefully win Bathurst, so it figures Justin grew up to have a car obsession, too – and don’t worry, his dad did turn up in time after some stern words from his mum.
That said, despite loving cars and writing, Justin chose to pursue career paths that didn’t lend themselves to automotive journalism, before eventually ending up working as a computer technician. But that car itch just couldn’t be scratched by his chipped Volkswagen Golf R (Mk7), so he finally decided to give into the inevitable and study a Master of Journalism at the same time.
And even with the long odds, Justin was lucky enough to land a full-time job as a motoring journalist soon after graduating and the rest, as they say, is history. These days, Justin happily finds himself working at CarsGuide during the biggest period of change yet for the automotive industry, which is perhaps the most exciting part of all.
In case you’re wondering, Justin begrudgingly sold the Golf R (sans chip) and still has plans to buy his dream car, an E46 BMW M3 coupe (manual, of course), but he is in desperate need of a second car space – or maybe a third.
