Who would have thought the Toyota Supra would be a rally star? This sports car that conquers corners on tarmac roads is now kicking up dust on gravel tracks! The Team O’Neill Rally School’s fiery experiments prove that this low-slung, rear-wheel-drive coupe can do wonders in the world of rallying. With the support of the Captain Crankshaft YouTube channel, this Supra has been transformed into a gravel-crushing rally machine!


This Supra is no ordinary sports car, it’s a rally warrior! Half-cage, gravel-spec tires, long-travel rally suspension—these modifications have transformed the Supra into a gravel monster. On Team O’Neill’s gravel handling course, this car won the hearts of the drivers. Despite the ABS system, the Supra easily slid and rotated under braking. A sports car that can jump with such precision on gravel—this is a new level of excitement!


“This is not just a drift car, but a real rally beast!” - Team O’Neill’s head coach Wyatt Knox said enthusiastically. He was surprised by the speed and smoothness of the eight-speed automatic transmission. “I would choose this over a manual gearbox!” - Knox’s words seal the Supra’s rally excellence. This automatic system helps the driver focus on the steering and pedals, giving him more control on gravel.

In winter tests, the Supra became a legend! The sports car has become the second-fastest car of all time, beating the Ford Fiesta rally car and the Subaru WRX.

They firmly believe that if the Supra is tested again in better weather, it will shine again on gravel tracks. “This is just the beginning!” —says Team O’Neill.


The test has shattered the perceptions of the rally world. For those who thought that all rallying required was all-wheel drive and high ground clearance, the Supra is a shock! With the right modifications, a rear-wheel drive sports car can create magic on gravel. “Sports cars are born to shine on gravel rallies!” —this victory has sparked new discussions in the automotive world.


The Supra’s gravel conquest is a celebration of Toyota’s engineering prowess and the creativity of its modification experts. Fans dream of this vehicle setting new trends in the world of rallying. “The future of sports cars is on gravel tracks!” — Social media is buzzing with excitement. The experiment has given the world new insights into the versatility of vehicles.
