It's been twenty long years since any car-lover in America was able to buy a brand-new Toyota Supra, as the company stopped selling them here in 1998. And in 2002, amidst declining sales, the Supra production line in Japan was shut down.

But the car has retained a cult following. Its appearance in the popular Fast & Furious franchise, as well as in videogames like Gran Turismo and Need for Speed, have kept the car alive in the imaginations of many; used models in good condition can go for 60 grand or more on eBay.

Now, thrillingly, Toyota has announced that they're rolling out a new Supra. At the Geneva Motor Show they unveiled the car in racing trim, as it will first be produced by the company's Gazoo Racing division--and may perhaps even be called the GR Supra, rather than the Toyota Supra; at least, that's what they're calling the car they pulled the sheets off of at Geneva. Here's the teaser video:

As a sign of the times, while the car is not expected to roll out until next year, some will get to drive it next month--in a videogame. "The GR Supra Racing Concept is to be featured," Toyota writes, "in a new update of the Gran Turismo Sport® video game, developed by Polyphony Digital Inc., and scheduled for release in April 2018."

    Understanding Why Electric Car Fires Pose a Unique Hazard

    Let the pros handle these, folks

    Bet you didn't know this: Firefighters in the U.S. are trained to approach certain types of burning cars from a 45-degree angle, rather than head-on or straight from the rear, because non-crushable-type bumpers--which are designed to absorb shock and thus are effectively pressurized--can turn into projectiles as they heat up.

    Robert Bollinger Discusses the Design Process Behind the Bollinger B1 Electric Sport Utility Truck

    "We built it as though we had just landed on the planet and didn't know what trucks were."

    Last year, we were excited to write in detail about the Bollinger B1, the first of its kind off-road electric sport utility truck designed by Bollinger Motors. Since the all-wheel drive truck is electric, there was no need to accommodate for an engine or transmission. In lieu of these considerations,

    This Motorhome Covered in Solar Panels is Real, But has Accidentally Been Turned Into Fake News

    "There was no collision"

    German caravan manufacturer Dethleffs unveiled this e.home at the most recent Caravan Salon in Dusseldorf: I saw it and thought, "Holy Cow. Imagine being able to cruise around the country and never have to pay for gas!" My misinformed reaction was further reinforced when I read what the GreenMatters blog
