Remember how angry purists get when reminded of the BMW tech bits the 2020 Toyota Supra relies on? Well, how about an Mk Supra that has things in common with the Porsche 911?
The description above is perfectly fitting for the Supra body kit that brought us here, so let's get into the details - note that we're dealing with a rendering.
Sure, the arches of this kit are fat, which means the machine now deserves the widebody label - then there's the negative camber of the wheels, along with the microscopic ground clearance, with these two only allowing the lip of the wheels to clear the fenders (did anybody say #stanced?).
But none of the above are the main focus on the package. Instead, the said title goes to the front end of the car. As mentioned above, this is a 2020 Toyota Supra Slantnose.
You now, the Flachbau (flat-nose) story that saw the 1976 935 racecar receiving such a front end for the sake of aerodynamics, with Porsche eventually installing a similar setup on the road-going 1981 911 Turbo.
Sadly, Zuffenahusen hasn't come up with a slantnose 911 in decades, so tuners had to step in, which is how we ended up with the Old & New 997 Slantnose.
And, as those of you who are familiar to the work of the Japanese tuner mentioned above have already noticed, the said kit is present on this Toyota, albeit mixed with elements from the Supra Pandem widebody, massive rear wing and all
In fact, here's an example of how such a Pandem kit looks in real life (unsurprisingly, this is also a product of Japan).
Will this melange of tuning subvultures please everybody? The answer is obvious and yet we have to admit this is an aero package one simply can't ignore.
Oh, and in case you're wondering how the current 992 Neunelfer would look in slantnose form, here's your answer.
