Good news the new Toyota Supra is going racing. Starting in 2020, a GT-spec Supra will compete in Japan"s Super GT Championship. Previewed by a suspiciously finished-looking concept at the Tokyo Auto Salon, plan is for the Supra to run in the top-flight GT500 class, which this year was won by Jenson Button and teammate Naoki Yamamoto in their Honda NSX-GT. For the 2020 season Super GT is adopting Class One" rules developed together with DTM, which unifies the two series" technical regulations. The Supra will therefore use a 2.0-litre, turbocharged engine producing over 600bhp, for top speeds of more than 180mph.
