The base car will probably be a Gr.X. But they can always make a Gr.3 version as well.

The widebody design makes the car look too bulbous. The proportions look off to me because of it.

So the news article says in an April update. Good to know we are getting one quite soon after the 'regular up to March' updates are complete! It'll potentially only include this car?? Who Knows!!
Anyway about the car:
The article says "The 'GR Supra Racing Concept' is a concept model based on the Toyota Supra sports car produced up to 2002, brought back after 16 years as a race car. It was developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, the division of Toyota that handles their motorsports activities and the 'GR' sports car series."
Does this mean there isn't going to be a road version?? I know that concepts can sometimes evolve into actual production cars but it sounds to me from this that its a one off race car model! And...
From what I understand, the FT-1 isn't guaranteed to go into production (at this moment in time) and isn't guaranteed (if it does) to carry the supra name. So is this just a marketing thing where Toyota are using a well known iconic sportscar name from there past to release a new model??
If anyone has any links to the contrary please feel free to share!

My take is that Toyota likes to keep the Supra's specs secret, so I suspect PD will give it the --- treatment on both weight and power, so that we "won't" know the actual specs
And because the power and weight are ---, I don't see it going to Gr. 3 anytime soon (I'd like to see the BoP text box on that though
)

The Genesis was made to conform to the pseudo GT3/Gr.3 class. The Supra is just a Supra that happens to be a racing concept. It doesn’t fit anywhere

Shhhhhhh you can't say things like that on here! If we don't get the remaining cars by end of March as promised the universe might implode! Haha.
In all seriousness though i think they will keep the remaining of the 50 cars update for March and throw this car in mid April. That's why I suspect (could be really wrong though) that the April update may only contain this car

It’s going straight to the shadow realm when we get it. The Isle of Mann TT Subaru will be getting a friend. The reason is because this Supra racer is as much of a GT3 car as a Zonda R.

Well, we were told there would be "around 50 cars released by end of March". We have 37 already. I predict there is another batch of 12 (same size as February batch) already planned for the March update and this was possibly delayed from March into April. That would get us up to 50 cars.
With this and the March update, we will reach the end of the publicised updates. I've thought since that original "50 cars" statement that they launched the game with a well planned 6 month roadmap and that seems to have come true. As long as they release the dozen cars in March, they will have met the announcement (except for this one car, the new Supra).
One wonders whether they are planning another "road map" for the remainder of the year. We had that post from @Tom cryptically referring to being busy later in the year, so I think there are plans already being set in place for the next 6 months.
Oh and I like the new Supra although its not particularly ground breaking to me, looks wise, after having seen the FT-1 before it. The road car should be a big hit though.
PS Whilst I remember, next weekend's Top Gear is in Japan and they showed the RX7 and Skyline at the end of the last show.
