The time has come to bring you yet another answer to a question nobody asked and we're here to show you what could happen if Toyota's Australian arm was tasked with modifying a Supra.
We think the result would have a shooting brake aura and there are two main reasons for that. Nevertheless, before we list these, we're inviting you to check out the little details on the Supra Shooting Brake rendering above, which comes from pixel master Rain Prisk.
Returning to the (otherwise unlikely) possibility of such as story taking place in the real world, we'll remind you how the automaker's Down Under division swept us all off our feet with the 86 Shooting Brake back in May (you'll find this in the image gallery).
The S/B was as real as they get, as we were treated with a 100 percent functional machine that came with "evaluation" miles on its odo. In fact, it was all a materialization of a rumor we came across back in 2013, when Toyota Australia engineers started working on the project.
Returning to the Supra part of the story, since it's extremely difficult to find a completely stock example of the 90s icon nowadays, if the company would have to customize one of these, such a transformation would be much more elegant that the usual quarter-mile racer theme we've seen on one too many occasions.
As for a potential Shooting Brake incarnation of the future sportscar Toyota is currently co-developing with BMW, the Bavarians' thirst for filling niches could be quenched with the help of such a model. But even thinking about such a possibility is too much of a stretch, at least for now when the vehicle still hasn't reached its advanced development stages - speaking of which, here's the latest piece of news on the matter.
