MOTORING COLLABORATIONS CAN WORK | Toyota GR Supra
Don’t call it a comeback; we like to think of it as a reboot. It’s the Supra in spirit, but thanks to the partnership Toyota have shared with BMW, this is a wholly different sportscar. It will be powered by the same engine found in the new Z4 (alongside which it was developed), a 6-cylinder, 3.0-litre turbo petrol engine that’s good for 250kW and 495Nm, but with a kerb weight of only 1 530kg. Long live this kind of motoring partnership!
Forget the stats and science. The most concrete proof that car design matters? Pin-up posters.
It doesn’t matter what valve vintage you are – the models just differ, depending on when you grew up. No, it’s the fact that we all loved the look of these hot wheels so much, we covered our bedroom walls with them.
There were no posters of famous architecture, or iconic furniture design; growing up, most boys plastered two- or four-wheeled machines on their walls (and, of course, the occasional pin-up girl).
But back to cars. For some, it’s the Lamborghini Countach, the Ferrari 250 GTO, Testarossas and F40s, Porsche 911s and Dodge Vipers. Some even have a poster of the time-travelling DeLorean DMC-12.
For others with fewer birthday candles, it’s the Bugatti Veyron, Jaguar XJ220, and McLaren F1. And now the younger crowd drool over pixel versions of exotic hypercars from smaller companies like Koenigsegg and Pagani, which they keep on desktops and phone wallpapers, rather than paper.
