In the early hours of Tuesday morning, Toyota teased photos of an unnamed sports car, presumed to be the new Supra, on its social media accounts, setting a date for its formal unveiling at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show.

Prior to the announcement, the Supra was [reported in January](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/17637/report-four-performance-tiers-of-toyota-supra-debut-at-geneva>) to make its debut at the Swiss event with four performance tiers on show. The release from Toyota suggests the earlier report is accurate, lending some credence to the four-tier allegation which is said to be comprised of a base model, GR Sport, GR, and GRMN. No, that’s not short for German, despite the fact that the next BMW Z4 will share a platform (and maybe more) with the new Supra.

While the return of the Supra name itself has been [called into question by Toyota](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/16596/toyotas-new-supra-may-not-be-called-a-supra-at-all>), the automaker’s teaser implies that the legacy name will indeed adorn the new sports car. Powertrain options are disputed between reports with some claiming [the new Supra will not be available with three pedals](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/11203/new-toyota-supra-could-be-an-automatic-only-hybrid>), and others still claiming [it will](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/13857/according-to-reports-the-upcoming-toyota-supra-will-have-a-manual-transmission>). One detail looking to be near certain is the [availability of a four-cylinder engine](<https://www.thedrive.com/article/13353/it-looks-like-the-new-toyota-supra-will-have-a-4-cylinder-engine-option>), which could incense Supra classicists.

All we can tell for sure is that the tremendous wing depicted can be for nothing other than a full-fat track car, one almost certain to wear a Gazoo Racing badge of some sort. We need only wait three weeks to find out.
