I could hardly describe myself as a purist and yet the uber-stanced 2020 Toyota Supra sitting before us is the kind of image that makes me want to throw rotten tomatoes at the screen. And yet the Hellaflush danger (this is the name of the tuning subculture trend definingh the car) is real, even though we're only looking at a rendering here.
These social media renderings might appear silly at times, but they're considerably more serious than it might appear. For one thing, many of the digital art labels behind them are used by actual go-fast machine customers when exploring various specs for their cars, with this $500,000 + $100,000 paint Ford GT being an example as good as any.
Returning to this Mk V Supra, I'll remind you the Hellaflush trend started getting serious traction a couple of years ago. The main ingredients of the ridiculous recipe involve rims with super-sized lips that accommodate stretched tires, negative camber angles that would make chassis engineers cry and the kind of ride height that turns any driveway exit into an offroading session.
Fortunately, certain authorities, such as the ones in Quebec, have banned this trend. After all, the said camber can lead to poor handling, while having your car so low means the fuel lines underneath it can easily get damaged and cause leaks. And you don't want that, do you?
Now, if you're willing to go for what somebody like me would call a reasonable aero modding approach for the 2020 Toyota Supra, perhaps this Pandem kit would float your boat.
Then there's the tech side of the new Supra tuning realm - the resourceful BMW-sourced 3.0-liter turbo flat-six means it only took a few months to see the Toyota going from the factory 12s quarter-mile runs to the proverbial 10s adventures and that's just on the factory turbo...
PS: That's right, this isn't the first Hellaflush 2020 Supra rendering we get to talk about.
