2020 Toyota GR Supra sold for $2.1 million at an auction in the USA
MANILA: The first ever production version of the 2020 Toyota GR Supra has been sold at the 48th annual Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, USA. Interestingly, the company donated the hammer price of the car to the American Heart Association and the Bob Woodruff Foundation to benefit veterans and service members. However, the name of the top bidder has not been revealed yet.
The Barrett-Jackson authority has revealed the news on Twitter and also mentioned that the winning bid for the car is USD 2.1 million (roughly Php 111 million). The same news has been announced by Toyota as well. Bob Carter, EVP of sales at Toyota Motors North America said “We did the first production 2020 GR Supra justice tonight at Barrett-Jackson. After 20 years, this marks the return of a legend.”
As mentioned earlier, the auction was entirely meant for charity. The American Heart Association works for fighting heart diseases, and the Bob Woodruff Foundation advocates future programs for veterans and their families.
The first-ever production model of Toyota GR Supra is designated as Global #1, and the VIN of the car ends with 20201. The vehicle appears in Matte Grey color, and features red mirror caps and Matte Black wheels. Inside the cabin, the Global #1 flaunts red interior with carbon fibre trims. The vehicle also comes with a signature plate from Akio Toyoda, the Chief Executive of Toyota.
The winner of the auction also gets a few other complementary things along with the car. The person has received VIP passes to the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR). Other things that are included in the goody bag are the race shoes, gloves, helmet and suit, all of which were used during the final testing of the car.
