Toyota reveals additional SEMA builds based on the Supra and half a Tacoma

Toyota's second wave of custom SEMA vehicles have broken cover, just in time for the holidays. The 2021 GR Supra Sport Top and overlanding-ready TRD-Sport Trailer ensure that Toyota's on-road and off-road performance and adventure concepts continue to inspire Toyota fans and the automotive aftermarket.

This year, Toyota's two-wave release plans mean that SEMA lives on long after the show. The company previously unveiled four builds in its wave one SEMA360 Showcase presentation, held on 2 November 2020.

The new 2021 GR Supra Sport Top concept is a perfect follow up to the wildly popular 2020 GR Supra Heritage Edition that debuted at Toyota's 2019 SEMA Show display, exciting Supra fans worldwide with its custom visual and performance upgrades paying homage to the iconic fourth generation Supra from the late nineties.

Inspired by the overwhelming response to the GR Supra Heritage Edition that debuted last year, Toyota set out to dream up a fitting companion. Conceptualising an open-air tribute to removable-top Supra models of the past, the team put much thought into the unprecedented task of removing the roof and a significant part of the GR Supra's structure.

Toyota ensured structural rigidity by reinforcing large sections of the vehicle's frame. The now iconic removable roof includes two composite panels that can be stored in the car's boot. Unlike a 'T-Top' or targa-top car, there is no central bar down the middle, just open air as far as the eye can see.

As a sibling to the GR Supra Heritage Edition, the Sport Top delivers similar styling cues like the fourth generation-inspired basket handle wing and round taillights. At the same time, it has a striking profile all its own that includes a black piano-finish canopy over the top.

Toyota's TRD-Sport Trailer answers the backroads adventure calling and the growing popularity of overlanding getaways in a year where socialising with family and friends is a challenge.

Overlanding's growing popularity inspired the Toyota team to think outside the box, as they sought to make a true overland trailer out of the rear half of a Tacoma. The truly over-the-top TRD-Sport Trailer concept serves as a base camp to extend adventurers' off-highway fun while being pulled by a Toyota truck or SUV.

It features a remote-operated scissor-lift that raises an innovative platform several feet out of the bed. There's a Yakima four-person tent with an awning and fly fishing-pole holders, a custom-built toilet and trash can, a refrigerator, a hot water heater, fresh and grey water holding tanks, a slide-out sink and stove, and efficient campsite lighting.
