Yesterday brought some unofficial

Toyota Supra

news in that we got to

see the front end of the car

without any disguise whatsoever. Today,

Toyota

is officially announcing that the first

Supra

made will be

auctioned

off at

Barrett-Jackson

in Scottsdale, AZ. Toyota also dropped a teaser of the Supra’s red mirror cap and red seat today, which is pretty anticlimactic given how long the gestation of this car has been and that we’ve already seen the car at this point.

The specific Supra auctioned off at

Barrett-Jackson

will have these red mirror caps, red leather interior, matte black wheels and a carbon fiber badge to indicate its status as the first

2020 Supra

built. Its VIN number will reportedly be 20201, further proving to everybody that it is the first one. Like these “first-of” auctions typically go, all the proceeds will benefit charity. This time, the American Heart Association and the Bob Woodruff Foundation (which helps 9/11 impacted veterans) will be sharing the sale price. Toyota says the car will be auctioned off on January 19, 2019, after its debut at the

Detroit Auto Show

on January 14.

When you win the car, that doesn’t mean you get to take it home. It will still be a pre-production unit on the stand, and Toyota hasn’t announced any sort of an availability date yet. The Supra ramp-up is nearing the end-game now, though. We’ve driven the prototype and even seen a good portion of the car completely uncovered. It won’t be much longer till it rolls

onto the stand in Detroit

.
