Now that we got the fine print out of the way what else could we say to make this car feel remotely interesting?

In fairness, the Toyota Supra was a great car, about 20 years ago. By today’s standards it’s fairly average and sort of grayed out.

Since Veilside didn’t have anything else to show off at this year’s Tokyo Motor Show they decided to go out of their way and make the good ol’ Supra turn some heads.
