ToyotSupr sales have not yet begun, and someone has already managed to crash one of the cars: a sports car flew into the bump stop during races at the Nurburgring, as a result of which the front end of the coupe was seriously damaged.

The accident occurred on the Exmülle section, in a bunch of left and right turns. According to preliminary data, the driver made a mistake with the trajectory, flew out of the corner and crashed into the fence.

Who was behind the wheel is unknown. The accident did not happen during the track days: the track was closed for car manufacturers. That is, the sports car was brought to the track by Toyota itself. After the accident, the car was loaded into a closed trailer and evacuated from the track.

• ToyotSupr will go on sale this summer. The sports car, which is the closest relative of the new generation BMW Z4, is equipped with a three-liter inline-six with a capacity of 340 horsepower, which is paired with an eight-speed automatic. There will also be more modest engines: two-liter turbo-fours with a capacity of 197 and 258 hp.

• The Russian annual quota is limited to only 22 cars. The sports car will reach us in the second half of the year. Buyers are promised a personal manager and individual drift master classes.
