Remember that a few weeks ago, Toyota was working on the roof-cutting task of the Supra transformation plan? Now, the original factory team has announced that this modified prototype named Supra Sports Top is officially completed and released the official photos first. In fact, what we want to say here is that Toyota has not updated the design of the convertible in recent years. This is actually related to the current development trend of the model.
Supra Sports Top is modified from the Supra Heritage Edition commemorative edition launched by Toyota at the 2019 SEMA Modification Exhibition. Therefore, all the aerodynamics packages are directly used in appearance, including exaggerated front and rear spoilers, and large rear wing similar to the 4th generation Supra. The LED tail lights are designed to pay tribute to the past.
is like this. The power design has indeed been greatly improved, but the objective problems of the convertible in the safety system still exist, but fortunately, the current technological configuration can largely make up for some of the inherent deficiencies. Design the structure, but these are also to use data to speak, right?
But the most eye-catching thing this time is definitely imitating the Targa convertible structure specially created by the past 3 and 4 generation models. After cutting the roof, the engineering team found that the strength of the previously cut roof panels was no longer suitable for any modification, so they simply changed to 3D printing technology to remake a new two-piece detachable roof.
The engineering team has also strengthened the original upper half of the body structure, and combined it with a quick-release design, which is beneficial to the owner. The two-piece detachable roof can be stored in the rear luggage compartment. There is no need to compromise between being handsome and practical.
Under Toyota's skillful transformation, the fifth-generation Supra now has the ability to open the roof, successfully recreating the classic and handsome looks of the old generation! Although the original factory has not indicated any mass production plans, after all, if it is launched, it may make the sales of the twin convertible brother BMW Z4 even more ugly. However, I believe that cutting the roof will be the next step for major refitting factories in the market, and Supra Sports Top is the best template!
