# Video Shows How That First Salvage Auction 2020 Toyota Supra Met Its Maker

Earlier today, we reported on [the first wrecked 2020 Toyota Supra](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30652/the-first-wrecked-2020-toyota-supra-finally-turns-up-at-a-salvage-auction>) to show up at a salvage auction. Its auction listing didn't provide much background into how the Supra got to its current state, but we've now unearthed video footage that paints a much clearer picture of what happened.

Found on [Facebook](<https://www.facebook.com/alexander7.soto/posts/2173839492917489>) is footage taken by the car's alleged final passenger, showing the presumed owner losing control of the sports car and careening straight into a tree. Judging by the performance monitoring device in the passenger's hand, it appears the pair were in the process of "tuning" the MkV Supra.

"Out here tune’n my mk5 \*fire emoji\* y’all ain’t ready...." the alleged owner reportedly posted to Facebook. It turns out it was himself who, in fact, was [not ready](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/30456/driver-who-wrecked-kevin-harts-speedkore-barracuda-found-to-be-reckless-report>). The 10-second clip contains NSFW language so you might want to put on your headphones.

Here's a clearer image of the aftermath lifted from the IAAI salvage auction listing.

**IAAI**

Powered by a BMW-sourced, 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six, the 2020 Toyota Supra officially produces 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque all going to the rear wheels. [Independent dyno runs](<https://www.slashgear.com/2020-toyota-supra-engine-is-significantly-underrated-10579852/>) have revealed the car to make significantly more than that, but it's unclear how much more grunt this particular Supra's "tune" added. As someone who's had the fortune of [flogging one on a track](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/29718/2020-toyota-camry-trd-and-avalon-trd-first-drive-review-who-are-you-calling-boring>), I'm not quite sure what the driver was doing to trigger such a wild reaction at relatively mild speed.

In any case, if you happen to be a Supra owner [in need of a spare rear bumper](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/29617/canadian-toyota-owners-are-enduring-a-service-nightmare-due-to-a-systems-issue>) finished in Turbulence Gray, there's a salvage car in Maryland with your name on it.
