24 Hours of Torture

The new Supra gets the chance to prove its worth

- By Nate Hassler

Seems like everywhere you look, the new Toyota Supra is all car people wanna talk about. Can you blame anyone, though? It’s a revival of one of the most iconic Japanese sports car marques of the Golden Era. Maybe you’re sick of it already, but so far, we really haven’t seen a lot of real-world tests. Through my experience traveling as a former Super Street editor and now full-time photographer, there’s really only one test I’d say holds more water than anything else: a real torture out in the field. If the Supra can suffer and come out the other end in one piece, then it proves it’s actually a pretty damn good car (whether you like it or not). The test in question is the annual 24 Hours Nürburgring endurance race.
