Can you imagine the iconic “more than you can afford, pal” racing scene from the original Fast and Furious movie with a Supra battling a Ferrari in wagon form instead of its actual two-door body style? Yep, that’s a difficult dream for many reasons, chief among which is the fact that an Mk IV Toyota Supra wagon didn’t exist, even as a fantasy, until this rendering came to be.
Die-hard fans of the Japanese model need not worry—with the booming car market having pushed the legendary A80 Supra to record prices these days, nobody is going to chop up an actual Toyota into estate form. Seriously, if you’re looking for an ex-gen Supra powered by the N/A 3.0L straight-six you can expect to pay around $50,000 for a good one, while the turbocharged version requires double the money.
With that out of the way, we have to mention that the idea of turning one of these modern classic titans into something that could haul enough luggage for five isn’t that wild.
For one, the Supra’s JDM sworn enemy, the Nissan Skyline GT-R, has received tons of aftermarket “conversions” that seem to extend the wheelbase and add windows for the luggage compartment. However, these builds are actually Nissan Stagea wagons with Godzilla face swaps (R34s and R35s) and since there’s no Toyota equivalent, somebody would have to be extremely determined to build a Supra replica in estate form.
Until that person finds the ambition, digital artist Jim (aka jlord8) has done it in the real virtual world. And since most enthusiasts are likely to think of Audi when performance wagons are mentioned, the pixel master used the greenhouse of the current A4 Avant (or RS4 Avant if that’s how you like it) for the job.
Of course, if Toyota had built a Supra wagon in the 90s, this could’ve taken on Audi’s first RS model, the RS2 Avant, a turbocharged 2.2L AWD rocket built by Porsche (hey, Doug DeMuro owns one of these).
Wing or no wing?
The digital work comes in two flavors. the first, pictured above, aims to showcase the vehicle as described in the paragraph above. As for the second, this is even more radical, as it adds the factory wing of the Mk IV, as well as the OEM wheels of the current Mk V Supra (let the BMW remarks flow!).
For an important part of the F&F series, the only thing Dom does more often than shifting gears is mentioning family, so perhaps this artist took a cue this way and rendered the contraption. So if anybody is eccentric enough to turn the idea into metal, this rendering will become quite something. And even if it never happens, how often do you get an original way to put ”OMG” and ”Supra” into the same sentence?
