2016 Toyota Supra Convertible Review

As you can see it from the pictures, the 2016 Toyota Supra Convertible is a real beauty. It is car that everyone has been expecting for, and although the release date is not yet set, the car is here and will start appearing on the roads all over the country soon. The model was always known for being equipped with a removable targa top, and is something that has shaped the image if the Supra car for years now.

It was a mystery that the sedan version was the first one to appear without a convertible version. Well that mistake, so to say, has certainly been fixed as now we have the opportunity to experience the thing we have always wanted to try out.

Although, the design was simple to make it was not a primary choice from the designers of Toyota. Perhaps it was an overlooked thing on their part or a decision to go somewhere else with the Supra, but we might call it an experiment. An experiment which we do not want to see again as we certainly can’t wait for the new 2016 Toyota Supra Convertible to hit the stands.

2016 Toyota Supra Convertible Exterior

Well the exterior of the 2016 Toyota Supra Convertible has not been drastically changed based on its sedan version. It is basically a similar design with some alterations in order to make it a convertible.

Some would say that it was as easy as adding a frame above the windshield, flattening out the roof section and eliminating the entire center roof section. Simple, as it sounds this was not the only change that the outside of the Supra Convertible had to go through.

Comparing it with the FT1-concept, the exterior has been upgraded somewhat. The front lights and the back lights have been fitted with LED technology. Interestingly enough is the idea that the front splitter now includes a more Formula 1 like design which really gives this car its edge. What critics agree is that this car takes much after the Lexus LFA model and Toyota is not the one to deny this account.

All in all, the car has some pretty interesting characteristics and has been design in accordance with the wishes of the crowd perhaps. The convertible version of the 2016 Supra from Toyota will certainly be one of the most popular cars of the year.

Interior

About the inside of the 2016 Toyota Supra Convertible, there aren’t much changes opposite to its sedan version. Actually there were only a few adjustments made which have enabled he convertible to be a bit more stylish and comfortable that the previous vehicle.

Although one drastic change is of course the removal of the back seats from the convertible version. You can’t have a convertible with too many seats. And this is why the back part of the Toyota Supra has been exchanged with a wind deflector instead.

This will actually stabilize the car and enable it to reach greater speeds than before. but will limit it to a two seater instead of a four passenger one, which may only cause it to loose advantage in an otherwise four seat competition.

Also the comfort levels have been enhanced and the seats inside feature a similar design but with the use of some new and more comfortable materials. Nevertheless, the car still looks great inside and follows suite after its competitors in a great way.

Engine of 2016 Toyota Supra Convertible

As for the engine of the new 2016 Supra Convertible, we are still not sure what is going to happen under the hood of the vehicle. There are many speculations and a number of estimations, but no real answer up till now. The thing we do know is that Toyota is going to make it a bit more fuel productive which is somewhat of a conceivable step for the Supra to go.

Our estimations point to the V-6 engine, as many people think that this is the most natural way for the Supra to go and exchange the foremost twin turbo engine that was used. This will also enable the vehicle to pass the number of 400 hp and put the car as one of the top ones in its class.

Price

There is a possibility that the new 2016 Toyota Supra convertible is going to cost around 5000 USD more than the sedan version. Being that the Supra sedan was priced around 60.000 to 70.000 USD, there are some estimations that the base model for the

Toyota Supra Convertible is going to be at around 80.000 USD. But for that confirmation we will have to wait for the actual release date to see the correct figure.
