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.”
Going back in time, an F1 driver’s Ferrari was stolen in Italy during Grand Prix and miraculously found in London 28 years later.

After gaining her BA Hons in French and English at the University of Nottingham, Amelia embarked on a vocational diploma from the National Council for the Training of Journalists (NCTJ). This led to numerous opportunities, from interning at Vogue to being on the small team that launched Women’s Health magazine in the UK, which was named the PPA Consumer magazine of the year for three years running. As Health, Beauty and Fitness editor, Amelia personally received a Johnson & Johnson Award and was shortlisted for both PPA and BSME titles. Since then, Amelia has created content for numerous titles and brands, including the Telegraph, 111 Skin, Waitrose, Red magazine, Stylist, and Elle, as well as being Head of Content at Vitality and Editor in Chief at INLondon magazine. “My superpower is translating technical jargon about the mechanical workings of a supercar into a relatable story you’ll want to share with your friends after you’ve read it.” After joining the SB Media family as a senior journalist in September of 2023, Amelia’s role has evolved to see her heading up the SEO output of the editorial team. From researching the most ‘Google-able’ key terms to producing evergreen content - it’s been a time of hard work, growth, and success for the editorial team and the Supercar Blondie website. “I like to think of myself as a ‘method journalist’. In other words: I live and breathe whatever I am writing about. When writing about fitness, I trained as a personal trainer, and as a beauty editor, I completed an ‘expert’ in scent diploma with the Fragrance Foundation. “During my tenure at Supercar Blondie, however, I did something I never thought possible: I passed my driving test at the age of 36. One day I’d love to train as a mechanic to better understand what happens under the hood, too. “My sweet spot is providing readers with a ‘takeaway’ (read: something new they didn’t know before) after reading every one of my stories. While I don’t claim to be an expert in the automotive world, I know the experts and bodies in the field to rely on to provide our readers with an informative and thought-provoking story every time they visit the site.”
