Watch The Toyota Supra And BMW Z5 Cousins Hit The 'Ring
The new Supra and its BMW-developed cousin have both been seen undergoing testing at the Nurburgring
Did last week’s brief testing video not give you a good enough idea of what the new Supra is like? Worry not, as the inevitable Nurburgring test footage has emerged, and as a bonus, its co-developed BMW Z5 has been lapping the Norschleife too.
Is it just us, or are they a tad quiet? It’s not always easy to tell from footage like this, but we can only hope the cars - almost certainly running six-cylinder hybrid powertrains - are subject to a little fiddling in the exhaust department before reaching production.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I have a feeling that the Z5 will look gorgeous.
Cant wait to see what the supra looks like and how different/similar it will look to the older supra’s. It’s been too long.
The supra looks nothing like the concept
Thank god the bmw made it!
Z5 looks like an AMG something
The perfect engine for these two would be a Twin Turbo High Revving Inline Six.
Something like a fusion between the S54 and the 2JZ.
Sadly, we’ll probably get an S55 Hybrid.
Probably the most heavily disguised test mules. Credit to them - It will look like the FT-1 concept I hope
Im waiting for that time a company will say “we didnt test it on the Nurburgring because we don’t care about lap times
will the new supra have inline 6 ?
Does anybody know if it’ll be rear wheel drive? I really hope it is
