Toyota has teased the return of the Supra with a shadowy photograph of a tall rear wing ahead of the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

But the wing doesn’t belong to the Supra, rather a racing concept which will be revealed to confirm the Supra’s existence.

In fact, the car might not even wear a Toyota badge. Rumours of a Gazoo sub-brand have been circulating, with the idea that the GRMN Yaris was testing the water.

We’re told it’s likely there are only a handful of people in the world who know everything there is to know about the incoming model.

While the reveal at Geneva is expected to be primarily a styling unveiling, Tada’s presence at the event means some technical details could come from the event.

Visually, expect the car to closely resemble Toyota’s FT-1, but on a smaller platform due to the Z4’s smaller stature. Our renderings seen here are pretty spot-on, we reckon.

Featuring in the engine bay of the halo version, we’re expecting a 3.5-litre V6 with power figures in the 300kW/450Nm region, with WEC-derived hybrid tech helping power along.

Also expected is a 2.0-litre inline four-pot from Lexus in the lower-spec Supra, with around 225kW directed towards the rears.

While it’s likely to be some time before we see the Supra – or whatever it’s going to be called – in its production form, 7.45pm on March 6 (AEDT) is when Toyota will officially announce its next halo.
