Almost every car enthusiast is already aware that the next Toyota Supra will be a collaboration between Toyota and BMW. What is not familiar is that the car will look more like a Toyota, but underneath it’s going to be a lot of BMW. And this is the reason why the new Supra will tick. That might not sit well with hardcore enthusiasts on either side though.
According to Car and Driver, this new Supra will debut in two years as a 2018 model. It’s part of a collaboration code named “Silk Road” and will have a Toyota body with a turbocharged, inline, 6-cylinder engine from BMW. The Germans will also be contributing a rear-drive chassis.
It’s not just the Supra body Toyota will be contributing to the joint venture. They will be chipping in some cash and sharing some of their technological expertise. Specifically, they will be sharing their knowledge on hybrids, which might not come into play with the Supra, but could figure into the development of future BMWs.
