New Toyota GR Supra Races off the Line
In early March, the first production version of the all-new #Toyota #grsupra rolled off the production line at the #magnasteyr, #grazplant in #Austria. But customers shouldn't get their hopes up of getting their hands on the first production model―this one is already taken!
The rights to the phantom matte gray Supra, VIN 20201―"2020" for the year, "1" marking the first production model out of the production line―with red mirror caps, matte black wheels, red interior with carbon-fiber inserts, and an engine cover signed by #Toyota Motor Corp. President #akiotoyoda, was previously auctioned for charity at the 48th Annual Barrett-Jackson #auction at West World Scottsdale in #arizona. The winning bid for was for $2.1 million, and the proceeds of the first of the fifth-generation Supra went to support the #americanheartassociation (AHA) and the #bobwoodrufffoundation (BWF).
On the line-off of the Supra, #Toyota Chief Engineer #tetsuyatada said"Without the support of all the various #people and parties related to the Supra, this day could not have come true. Partnerships come in many forms, and our #partnership with #BMW has been a new experience for both of our companies. We appreciate the enthusiasm and aspiration of everyone that has helped Supra become one of the most anticipated and exciting cars coming out this year. Thanks to you, I am proud to say that Supra has turned out to be a very exciting car.Nobi Nakamura, project chief designer for the Supra, also commented, saying"It was exciting to see the first Supra roll off the line! Though we had our set of challenges, we believe this Supra will show the passion, thoughtfulness, and commitment that we have all had as we designed this iconic sports car and can't wait to see both old and new Supra fans all over the world on the roads soon."To prepare for the Supra line-off, #Toyota engineers traveled to the #grazplant several times and performed quality checks together with the production members.
The Supra is slated to go on sales from around the spring of 2019 in several countries worldwide.
