Some aficionados on the Internet are stating this is the best 2020 Toyota Supra to date, so it must be true, right? Well, the answer is subjective, but I have to admit this Mk V is certainly different to most aftermarket aero kits that have surfaced to date.
You see, tuners wishing to take the appearance of the Japanese sportscar one step further seemed to have focused on two main areas so far.
The first involves the widebody. Most WB Supras to date have only been portrayed in renderings, but here's a real-world example sporting a Pandem kit.
As for the second, this has to do with the #slammed culture. You know, those guys and gals who enjoy their machine with a microscopic ride height.
And this example is a mild one: not only does it feature air springs instead of lowering springs, but it has also maintained the factory struts. The latter feature means the stock active dampers are still at work, while the (air) bags help the driver get over sleeping policemen without the unnecessary drama.
When it comes to the 2020 Supra sitting before us, this seems to pay hommage to its predecessor. And I'm not talking to all the heavily tuned Mk IVs that created the rock-solid tuner car reputation the Mk V wishes to build on (Toyota hasn't hidden these intentions).
Instead, this package adds an Mk IV-style rear wing (easily the most controversial part of the kit, at least if we check out the comments section of the social media post showcasing the car).
Then we have lower body pieces that seems to complement the factory ones, albeit while adding subtle touches inspired by the look of the 90s model. For instance, the front apron packs a new lip spoiler.
However, this side skirts' shape doesn't seem to have changed, while the rear valance is now slightly more aggressive.
Oh, and let's not forget those Vossen wheels, which come in a 20-inch size for that smaller wheel gap (the factory wheels are 19-inch units).
Bahrain-based developer Ekanoo Racing, who runs this toy, hasn't mention any developers when introducing the machine, which might just mean it also gets credit for creating the package.
