Although the sports car is finally being made available to the public, this model is very special.
$2.1 million is a large sum for any item, except perhaps a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. That’s the amount that was put on the table at the Scottsdale 2019 Barrett-Jackson Auction for the car pictured above. It’s a 2020 Toyota Supra. But there’s more.
The VIN is a distinctive feature of this Supra. The last five digits of the VIN read 20201 – which indicates the model year of the Supra and the status of the Supra’s first production unit in Austria. In general, the first one of these cars is considered to be yours.
Any It makes it unique. It is a special privilege to have the first Supra built for the general public, given the huge demand for this legendary sports car’s return.
However, that’s not the only $2.1-million winning bid. This Supra is the launch edition model, and it gets special badges and red mirror caps. The exterior color of the new A90 is Phantom Matte Gray, but it will be obvious to those who are keen observers. This color is not available in the Launch Edition options, making it an exclusive vehicle. Additional extras such as a Toyota racing suit or a photo signed and signed by President AkioToyoda of Toyota were included in the purchase. All proceeds went to charity.
John Staluppi is a well-known automotive dealer guru who also owns a Toyota dealership. We don’t know what his plans are for the sports car, but we believe that if the car were to be parked in a Toyota showroom, it would attract potential customers. It remains to be seen whether it is a smart investment. The new Supra has its critics. There are many Toyota purists who are upset at BMW’s involvement in the development of the powertrain. The new Supra is simply amazing. As time passes, we expect opinions to shift in favor Toyota’s efforts.
