Japanese automotive media have been on a roll in speculations of a return to that golden era of the 1980s and 1990s. The country’s number one car magazine, Best Car has published another scoop and Toyota fans, brace yourselves for the whiplash of excitement. While the rumours of Toyota reviving the Celica name aren’t exactly new having been hinted by its key leaders, Chairman Akio Toyoda and CEO Koji Sato, this latest scoop reveals something special for the powertrain.

Toyota dealers in Japan have stopped accepting anymore bookings for Toyota GR86 since September 2022, likewise Subaru dealers with the GR86’s sister-car the Subaru BRZ.

Decked in iconic Castrol colours, this 1998 JGTC Toyota Supra is undoubtedly one of the more iconic cars of our generation.

Here’s another leaked photo after the rear of the all-new BMW M3 was caught undisguised. This time we are able to catch a glimpse of the front with its massive vertical grille.
