Toyota Cuts the Roof Off a Supra, Splits Tacoma in Two - All in the Name of SEMA

While the third generation of the BMW Z4 (G29) is only available as a roadster and the architecture-sibling Toyota Supra is a coupe, the Japanese automaker has been teasing its decision to bridge the gap with the one-off 2021 GR Supra Sport Top for some time already.

Now it’s finally time to see the Targa-style vehicle in all its glory as one of the main attractions of Toyota’s second wave of SEMA builds. The company sure took its sweet time before cutting the roof off the GR Supra (it’s a small one, seriously, how long could it take?!), but at least we also get the final episode in the making of series (embedded below).

This time around, there are just two vehicles - or, better said, one vehicle and parts of another. That’s because the Supra Sport Top is joined by the overlanding-ready TRD-Sport Trailer, which is a camper concept based on what can only be described as a chopped Tacoma bed. It comes fitted with just about everything one could ever need when going on an overlanding adventure, though.

Now, back to the GR Supra Sport Top, this one has been created as a conceptualized open-air tribute to removable-top Supra models of the past. It’s also envisioned as a companion to the popular GR Supra Heritage Edition from last year.

The Toyota team made sure the Sport Top can be enjoyed without any worries, as the vehicle’s frame was reinforced in many areas to compensate for the loss in structural rigidity. Also, unlike a classic T-top model, the GR Supra doesn’t have a central bar in the middle, and the new roof design is based on two 3D-printed composite panels that can be tucked away in the trunk.
