A crashed Toyota has become a tourist attraction for 30 years, as passing drivers stop to ponder at is bewildering state.

In a real-life version of Harry Potter’s Whomping Willow debacle, this Toyota Supra MK3 has spent its adult life totaled in the woods, attracting all kinds of tourists 

Having been left to the elements, the racecar that once burned rubber in drifting routes has spent three decades playing host to spiders and leaves while being subjected to a car-aligned paparazzi.

But its backstory has now been explained.

Totaled Toyota is now a Japanese tourist destination

Car fans love weird and wonderful stories as out-of-the-norm vehicles often become staple tourist attractions, such as the pink McLaren outside of London’s King Cross train station.

Over in Japan though, an old Toyota Supra has become an unlikely focal point.

Reports suggest that the Supra was involved in a Tokyo Drift-style mishap – hence the visible roll cage – but found itself in an irretrievable place at the bottom of a hill in the woods.

The car has featured in many photo and video uploads over the years, with the latest coming from Chris Purves on YouTube.

Having first seen the car online seven years ago, Purves found himself in Japan and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to nip into the mountains in search of the attraction.

Even though some degradation has kicked in over the 30 years, the car appears to still be in quite good condition. 

The engine remains intact, with limited visual damage, which appears rather generous from the Japanese locals.

Purves even managed to put the crashed Toyota into gear.

“A new fuel pump, battery, and fuel… I bet it’ll start,” one viewer said on Purves’ Instagram.

Why has the Toyota attraction never been recovered?

According to locals speaking on Instagram, the car has never been recovered because of its complex position.

Given that it resides at the bottom of a steep hill, cornered off by trees, previous efforts have proved unsuccessful, and it would cost too much to have a larger effort from a crane or an army of tow trucks.

So, the crashed Toyota Supra remains at the bottom of the hill, where it will likely stay until the rust kicks in and the metal turns to nothing but dust.

Toyota recently announced the final production for the Supra series will see some incredible upgrades added to a limited-production GR A90 Final Edition, which will attract similar levels of attention by anyone lucky enough to spot one of the 600 to be made.
