Presentation: After over 20 years of eager anticipation the Toyota Supra has returned! The culmination of 50-plus years of Toyota sports car heritage, the 2020 GR Supra arrives infused with the spirit of the previous generation Supra thanks to its striking design, twin scroll turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine and driver-centric focus on world-class performance. This presentation will highlight the new features of this joint venture, high technology vehicle including its driving dynamics systems, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), multimedia and guided diagnostics.

Tour: Following last year’s IEEE CVT Toyota Event where we toured the beautiful Toyota campus, this year we will visit the Toyota Experience Center (download attached media file below) in the main building, which has recently been re-opened.  It’s a “closed to the public” facility that focuses on Toyota history, culture, with interactive displays. It also houses many Toyota and Lexus vehicles, as well as technology displays.
