Ladies and gentlemen drivers, the time has finally come to see the 2020 Toyota Supra doing its thing on the Nurburgring. No, we're not talking about an official attempt to blitz the infamous German circuit. Instead, the Japanese sportscar hit the Nordschleife as part of a test conducted by a French magazine.
The Supra was taken to the Green Hell by the folks over at L'Argus, with the rear-engined toy being pushed pretty hard.
You can check out the adventure in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page and the conclusion is brilliant. For one thing, the Mk V Supra seems to be pretty happy about turning in.
Speaking of which, the tail-happy character of the machine is obvious, with the one linking the steering wheel to the pedals having to turn to countersteering on multiple occasions.
Fortunately, the test took pace in traffic, which means we get to enjoy various encounters. And the Supra crossing paths with an F80 M3 is by far the most delicious adventure of the kind.
This part of the shenanigan kicks off at the 4:20 point of the clip, but you should also check out the rest of the video.
The Supra chases the Bimmer for quite a while and then... enough with the spoilers! I won't throw any more details your way, as I don't want to ruin the giggles delivered by this piece of track footage, which was captured from inside the Toyota.
For the record, the Japanese automotive producer hasn't offered an official lap time for the 2020 Supra, with the sportscar's chief engineer only stating this could blitz the circuit in 7:40.
Now, if you happen to be watching this in preparation for a Ring tour of your want, remember to always leave some room for safety maneuvering in case things go south...
