Case in point with one of the 2018/2019 Supra test cars in the piece of Nurburgring spy footage below. Alas, the tester is still covered in heavy camo, which means that, for instance, we're not sure what to expect from the double bubble roof of the thing.

However, since the FT-1 Concept, which came as a preview for the sportscar, does pack such a feature, we're expecting this to make it into production.

Speaking of Nurburgring spy clips, we'll mention that the infamous Mk IV incarnation of the Toyota Supra was recently spotted lapping the Nordschleife during an industry pool session - you'll find the iconic machine at the 2:38 point of this clip.

The latest forum chat on this matter talks about the Mk V Supra set to enter the market via the carmaker's new GR Performance brand, thus skipping the Toyota badge.

Regardless, the sportscar, which can be considered the coupe non-identical twin of the 2019 BMW Z4, will be produced alongside the Bavarian roadster, in Austria, with the task set to be handled by Magna Steyr.

In the firepower department, the multitude of BMW powerplants means that Supra buyers will have plenty of units to choose from. For instance, those willing to grab a four-cylinder model will be offered the B48 engine, which delivers 358 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of twist.

Despite the German carmaker being a master of straight-six mills, the rumor mill talks about the two companies working on a turbocharged 3.5-liter inline-six, but we'd take such rumors with a grain of salt.

However, with the Tokyo Motor Show, which opened its gates to us this week, having marked the debut of the GR HV Sports Concept, which is basically a larger 86 with hybrid power and influences from the Toyota TS050 LMP1 endurance racer, we could see the new Supra offering a gas-electric powerplant.
