Yes, that faux BMW Z4 Supra. Yes, a proper clutch kick with a third pedal. Yes, you probably won’t be able to afford one anyways. Yes, we’d swap a night of passion with Mia Khalifa to own one. On a surface level, the new Supra A90 didn’t do itself any favours with the already narrow-minded enthusias
