New Zealand F1 driver Liam Lawson has given his personal Toyota Supra a second body kit makeover.
He replaced a previous body kit with a rather unique one.
In fact, it’s the only one of its kind in Europe.
The New Zealand F1 driver upgraded his Toyota A90 Supra again, replacing a previous custom body kit.
It’s a serious upgrade but more about style than performance, as it retains the model’s existing enhanced engine 650HP single turbo engine.

The Supra body kit fit for an F1 driver
The Toyota Supra’s recent glow-up comes courtesy of the first ADRO body kit for the Supra in Europe and was shared via AUTOID.
It boasts carbon fenders, new sleep bumpers with larger air intakes, side skirts, a large wing, door aprons, and an aggressive rear diffuser.
Custom wheels and brakes extend to bronze-finished lace-face wheels and shiny lips complete the look, with the wear and tear reflecting Lawson’s track usage.
What the Supra does retain, however, is its Precision big-turbo setup and Stage 2 ECU Tune mods under the hood.
Both of these ensure that it’s always track-ready and living up to the Visa Cash App RB Formula One car Lawson uses when he’s on duty.
These are some of the other cars owned by F1 drivers in real life.

Liam Lawson’s reaction
Despite Lawson at first being reluctant to lose its previous green wrap, adapted from a Lamborghini he’d seen in the US, he was enamored with the new sleek black look of the Supra.
After the green was peeled away, the remaining adhesive had to be buffed away before the entire car was polished.
However, the four days of work were all worth it.
He enthused that it was ‘the best-looking car’ that he had ever seen.
“I know I’m biased because it’s my car but I just can’t get over how good,” he said.
“It looks so tough.”
