Iconic carmaker discontinues fastest EVER model branded ‘agile & smooth'.. but firm's boss is already teasing its return
AN ICONIC carmaker is set to discontinue production of its beloved fastest-ever model. Toyota has confirmed it will cease making its "agile and smooth" Supra early next year, although one of the carmaker's bosses has already hinted at the iconic car's successor. 4 4 4 The Supra has a rich history among car enthusiasts, with five generations of the sports car having been produced since its introduction in 1978. Toyota's fifth-generation Supra entered production in March 2019, a staggering 17 years after production ended on the fourth-generation A80 cars. Described as a "handsome" vehicle, the Supra is powered by a 3-litre six-cylinder turbo engine, which packs a whopping 340hp with 500Nm of torque - helping it to sprint from 0 to 62mph in just 4.3 seconds. However, the iconic motors, which are produced at a Magna plant in Austria, will cease being made from Spring 2026, reports Motortrend. A Toyota boss explained it was "not cost-effective" to give the low-volume car the upgrades needed to meet new and pending global regulations. However, not all hope is lost for Supra enthusiasts, as there have been hints of a next-gen Supra entering the market, although it is unclear when this will be. Senior Vice President of Product Planning and Strategy for Toyota Motor North America Cooper Ericksen said: "It would be logical that we would have a next-gen Supra - but when and how is still TBD." He confirmed that there would "definitely" be a gap between the end of the current GR Supra's production and the start of the next motor's manufacturing. However, he said the company aims to have a gap that is "significantly less" than the 17 years seen previously between the A80 and GR Supra. It is also unclear whether Toyota will continue to keep its partnership with BMW to develop the next Supra, having collaborated with the German carmaker for the current GR motor. Inside Toyota's UK production plant as it builds five MILLIONTH motor since first Carina E rolled off the line in 1992 General Manager of the Toyota Division for Toyota Motor North America David Christ said the company would "love to build a next generation Supra", but the company has not officially announced plans to do so. Toyota is at a busy stage currently, having just introduced the 2026 RAV4, which includes a number of new technologies which will eventually be rolled out to countless of its other models. Explaining the end of the Supra's production, Ericksen said: "A product like Supra, it's made it to a point where now we have a Final Edition and the reason is it's just not cost effective with all the new regulations and investment we have to make." In a review for The Sun last year, the Supra was described as a "chunky beast" that "packs a punch". It retails for £58,580 and can reach a top speed of 155mph, albeit with a fuel economy of 34mpg and CO2 emissions of 183g/km. TOYOTA TO INVEST £40 MILLION IN UK PLANT This comes as Toyota is reportedly planning to invest a whopping £40 million to build a new vehicle assembly line in the UK. The Toyota plant at Burnaston could be in line for a major investment, as the company weighs moving production for the US market from Japan to Derbyshire. The car maker plans to invest around £41 million to set up a new production line dedicated to making GR Corollas, according to Reuters. Toyota has denied that Trump tariffs are behind the potential shift, despite taxes on Britain being 10 per cent compared to Japan's 25 per cent. In light of the potential move, Japanese automaker Toyota revealed that new cars could be added to the European market. Currently, the GR Corolla is only available in Japan and is exported to North America and select other markets. Burnaston plant currently produces the Corolla hatchback and estate for the UK and European markets, but production rates could significantly improve with the proposed investment. A new production line could be operational within 12 months, with reports suggesting that Japanese engineers may temporarily relocate to Derbyshire to assist with the transition.

The Paris Fashion Week Menswear Calendar for Spring 2026 Is Here
If the Milan Men's Fashion Week calendar looks a little slimmed down, with key labels including Gucci, Fendi, and Zegna absent, fear not: Paris is much more robust. Running from June 24 through June 29 and with 70 brands listed—40 of which will put on runway shows—the lineup for the spring 2026 edition is sure to pack a punch. The week will once again kick off with the Bachelors of Art show from the outgoing class of the Institut Français de la Mode, with Pharrell Williams and Louis Vuitton as usual closing out the first day of shows on June 24. Earlier that day, Ryota Iwai is showing his latest for rising label Auralee and Anthony Vaccarello will bring Saint Laurent back to the official calendar. (You may recall that Vaccarello showed his fall 2025 men's collection—the one with the thigh-high boots Alexander Skarsgård wore at Cannes earlier this week—on January 28 earlier this year, two days after the men's collections wrapped, on the second day of haute couture.) Also returning to the schedule this season are fan favorites Grace Wales Bonner, who took a break from the runway in January but had a fantastic night at the 2025 Met Gala (June 25); Emily Adams Bode Aujla, who was last on the runway in New Orleans for her Super Bowl partnership with GQ (June 27); and Craig Green, who is returning to Paris following the British Fashion Council's cancellation of its June edition (June 29). Marine Serre, who has moved to the ready-to-wear calendar, will stage a presentation on June 27. The Dries Van Noten men's collection will also return to the runway this season with Julian Klausner's debut in the category (June 26). Paris Fashion Week Menswear regulars will notice that this is not the typical Dries timeslot—the label has switched places with Rick Owens, who will present his collection that evening. Owens's retrospective, 'Temple of Love,' opens at the Palais Galliera on June 28. Willy Chavarria will return to Paris after a knockout debut in January, his show is scheduled for June 27. And here's what you've been waiting for: Jonathan Anderson's much-anticipated debut at Dior Men, the hottest ticket of the men's season, will take place on June 27.

Ferrero Announces New Nutella Flavor
On Friday, May 9, Ferrero North America announced a "slate of new innovations for the next twelve months at Sweets & Snacks Expo 2025." Among the major announcements from the company were Ferrero Rocher adding chocolate squares, repurposing the shape of its iconic candy. The company also confirmed what many thought to be an April Fools' Day joke of the partnership between TicTac and Dr. Pepper for a new flavor. Perhaps the most notable announcement, though, came from its Nutella brand. Ferrero revealed it's adding a new flavor for the first time in more than 60 years: Nutella Peanut. "Nutella's first taste innovation in more than 60 years, this latest addition to the Nutella portfolio is the best of both worlds. It combines the distinctive creaminess of Nutella cocoa hazelnut spread with the delicious taste of roasted peanuts," the company said in its announcement. The new product is set to hit shelves in spring 2026. "Our momentum here has never been stronger," Michael Lindsey, President and Chief Business Officer of Ferrero North America said in a statement. "Developing Nutella and Ferrero Rocher products specifically for the North American market represents a defining moment in our company's history. These innovations will engage both loyal fans and new consumers, boosting our power brands and further solidifying our position as a category leader in North America." Ferrero wasn't quite done yet, though. The company also announced a new Butterfinger flavor, marshmallow, following the success of its salted caramel flavor, hitting shelves in September 2025. Ferrero also announced a new Crunch bar flavor, white chocolate, coming to the market for Halloween - only for a limited in to access your portfolio
