Toyota GR Supra Drags 'Mirror' Supra, Twice Races Martini Porsche 911, It's Over in 12s 

They focused on the open-top experience of the two-door 4Runner TRD Surf concept, and the 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser also slid its roof to become the stunning ROX concept, but there were also a lot of other novelties – including the GR86 Rally Legacy, #84 Tacoma TRD ProRunner Race, Ultimate Tailgate Tundra, and Toyota RAV-X concepts, as well as the Suprabird Tribute.

Well, the latter was a specially designed Toyota GR Supra that paid tribute to Richard Petty and the iconic 1970 Plymouth Superbird with JDM style, but it's certainly not the wackiest fifth-generation Supra out there, even though the model made in collaboration with BMW on the basis of the current Z4 generation isn't selling too well in America. However, we all know that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas – unless you're taking the shenanigans to the local dragstrip – The Strip at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Over there, it's impossible to escape the eye of the public – especially when you're driving a Toyota GR Supra dressed in a mirror-like finish.
This odd-looking sports car wanted to clash with a fellow Toyota GR Supra, a much tamer black example that only sported a few crimson details on the mirrors and brake calipers. As always, there is a time when showing off doesn't necessarily pay the bills – or get you the quarter-mile dragstrip thrills. This is exactly what happened here, as the black Toyota GR Supra's driver had a faster reaction time and took command of the race.

In the end, although the mirror Supra had a better ET (12.78s versus 12.9s), the track's electronic guardian decided to award the victory to the black GR Supra sibling. The latter then moved on to fight with another wacky opponent – a Martini-liveried Porsche 911 that also sported a mythological motif on the sides, not just yellow and blue elements.

This time around, though, the Toyota GR Supra’s driver may have been faster again, but something happened during the race, and the JDM sports car made in collaboration with BMW and built by Magna Steyr in Austria easily lost the clash: 12.89s versus 14.69s. No worries, there was also a rematch immediately, and this time around, the GR Supra took its payback, even though the passes weren't as glorious as the soundtracks: 13.75s versus 13.27s.

By the way, we've heard that the rumor mill is fighting itself with conflicting reports about the next-generation Toyota GR Supra – some outlets claim the Mk6 will be all Toyota and no BMW, while others whisper the next iteration could still use a BMW-sourced engine, complete with hybrid or PHEV electrification.
