Yahoo Autos Toyota open-top Supra and Tacoma-based travel trailer take in the outdoors
Earlier in 2020, Toyota tantalized us with images and videos of a Supra equipped with a removable roof panel. It finally unveiled the model, which it originally planned to introduce at SEMA 2020. For enthusiasts who would rather go off the pavement, it also revealed an overlanding trailer that started life as a Tacoma cargo box.
Toyota explained building the Supra Sport Top was more challenging than simply chopping off the roof. After removing the sheetmetal, its engineers reinforced large sections of the car's structure to preserve its rigidity. They filled the gap above the front passengers with a pair of composite panels that can be stored in the trunk when the sun is out. Don't call it a T-top, though; there's no T-shaped bar running down the middle of the roof.
Some previous generations of the Supra offered removable roof panels; Toyota introduced the Sport Roof feature for the 1986.5 model year. So the Sport Top concept picks up where the fourth-generation model left off. It also gains a hoop-like rear wing that creates another visual link between the current Supra and its predecessor.
