Cam27 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Toyota announced yesterday that it will use the Supra name for the 2019 Nascar Xfinity Series! The Xfinitiy series is Nascars's 2nd Tier, with the Camry as the top tier 'Cup' car. It should have the standard TRD V8 powerplant used by all Toyotas in Nascar. https://www.nascar.com/news-media/2018/07/05/revival-fittest-toyota-supra-coming-nascar-xfinity-series/ Personally i am not very pleased about this, as Nascars are all standard construction with a skin and decals to differentiate between the manufacturers (Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota), and the pictures of the Supra Nascar look hideous imo. Also the Camaro and Mustang are much larger cars in real life, so to make the Supra fit the same template for he race cars is not really true to the road car at all.

evinX Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 This new Supra has been completely ba****dised, theres very little details for the mkiv to live on, but really the dimensions of the thing and wheel base look like a beefed up gt86. I personally dont want to see one. Ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) Yeah I gotta say I dont agree with this decision at all, but I suppose the Mustangs and Camaro's look equally stupid. They've just made it look like a box on wheels. EDIT - it is a box on wheels used for advertising the new Supra - I get it now Edited July 6, 2018 by Bobbeh (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David P Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 The only part of that banger racer worthy of a Supra badge, is the engine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evinX Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Ahh ok. Once its not supposed to be a supra. Crap marketing stunt imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonR24 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Not great marketing honestly. I could have told them that was a bad idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
