“The return of the Toyota Supra has been a long time coming, and it’s well worth the wait,” said Ed Laukes, group vice president, Toyota Marketing, Toyota Motor North America. “The new campaign highlights the thrill of getting to know the 2020 GR Supra and a rediscovered appreciation for the simple joy of driving.”

Broadcast & Digital
The 30-second, 15-second and 6-second broadcast and digital spots were directed by Ozan Biron. These unique spots highlight the Supra’s exhilarating blend of power, precision and agility and inspire drivers to own the sports car they always dreamed about.

In “Track Day”, Julie Andrews’ “Getting to Know You” provides the soundtrack as driver and car glide harmoniously around the iconic Road Atlanta track, showcasing the Supra’s indisputable performance and style as they get to know each other.

The 6-second spots, appropriately titled “0 to 60”, “Balanced”, “Face Off”, “Joy”, “Ribbon”, “Sport Mode”, and “Walks On Water”, demonstrate the spirit of a new sports car – sleek, stylish, powerful and ready to command any road.

The campaign creative was led by Saatchi & Saatchi with Zenith Media responsible for TV and Outdoor media buying.

The return of the 2020 GR Supra was announced with a TV spot in February’s “Big Game”.  The high-energy spot, “Wizard“, set the stage for the return of Toyota’s iconic sports car after a 21-year hiatus.

Media Placements
