The comments in the article you linked sort of summed everything up nicely anyway.


Maybe CXRacing bought a 2019 Z4?

according to the VINs 200 pre-production Supras were made for testing, auto show/display, media press drives, and etc. supposedly R&D for aftermarket companies started some time half way in mid 2018.

Still like to see an actual picture or video before I believe anything. People place too much faith in believing things based on renders.

Just some more instances of it being seen in the "daily" kind of life rather than show/demorooms or renders.

Black seems to be the least favorite color for the A90.

It actually looks much nicer in the real world outside of renderings and showrooms.

Yep. It is nice to see shots that are not from a perspective that looks like they were taken from 2' off the ground. I have become convinced that all people that create renders or take pictures for the media are very, very short.

Nice to see the yellow up there in the top. To many people sports cars are supposed to be flashy and yellow is a long time standing Toyota colour.

Well I'm convinced the current generation in everyday life have no idea how to take good pictures to begin with.

If you've read the user's manual of any Japanese point and shoot camera at least going back to the 80's it actually suggested to you that you should squat down to take a good pic.
