Toyota GR 3000GT Concept teased ahead of debut at 2019 SEMA

KUALA LUMPUR: Toyota has released a new teaser image and video of Supra 3000GT Concept ahead of its official launch at the upcoming 2019 SEMA Show, which is scheduled to commence on November 5th in Las Vegas. As the show is dedicated to tuners and aftermarket parts, Toyota has planned to play a starring role in the event by introducing the concept car. However, the brand has not revealed any details about the car, and we only got to know it will be developed by TRD (Toyota Racing Development).

According to the teaser video, the new model is inspired by the 1994 born Toyota Supra TRD3000GT concept. Also, it is based on Toyota’s latest A90 GR Supra. The hood comes with cutouts along with vents behind them. At the rear, it features a massive wing, which people expect to see on a race car.

At this moment, it’s not clear whether TRD will send the car to the production line with these parts, but there is a possibility. The possibility arises because TRD already did like this with Supra TRD Performance Line Concept, which is ultimately available as GR Parts in Japan.

Expectedly, the car will come with a range of modifications at the event. It might also include some changes in its powertrain. However, the teaser does not indicate the technical configuration. To mention, the regular Supra comes with a 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbocharged engine that churns out a maximum power of 335 hp.

Reportedly, besides TRD’s Supra, there will be two more Supra at the event. Artisan Spirits will introduce a body kit for the car, which will give it an aggressive look. Along with this, Evasive Motorsports will also unveil a body kit for the coupe.
