Toyota Supra Convertible Is Actually A Lexus

The students at Nihon Automobile College (NATS) put together some pretty wild custom cars for each year’s Tokyo Auto Salon.

Perhaps the most attention-grabbing this year is what looks like a 2020 Toyota Supra. It features the bold orange paint scheme of the famous fourth-generation Supra in The Fast and the Furious. It even gets the fourth-generation Supra’s revered 2JZ inline-six.

But this heavily Supra-inspired car is not what it seems. This is actually a Lexus SC430, the luxury retractable hardtop convertible from the mid-2000s. The main tell is the interior, which features a dashboard that clearly was built years before the A90 Supra. Of course there’s also the fact that this is a convertible with a well-finished windshield header. And as you look closer, you’ll notice that details such as the hood vents and the vents on the doors look just a little off compared with the real thing. That’s not to diminish the work done, here — the attention to those little details is impressive.
