Ever since its first generation in 1978, the Toyota Supra has earned legions of fans with its faithfully retained front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout powered by an in-line six-cylinder engine.
In addition to the Supra having competed in numerous types of motorsports in the past and currently running in Super GT, the Supra-based race-specific GR Supra GT4 achieved cumulative sales of 50 units (by the end of 2021) after roughly a year and a half on the market. These and other achievements have made the Supra a model that can be enjoyed on both public roads and racing circuits.
Underlying the latest enhancements is a further-matured chassis for a more refined driving performance and notably a manual transmission, driven by strong customer demand and expectations. The manual transmission has been developed for the 3.0 models to complement the Supra’s high-output engine and supremely capable chassis.
Main enhancements:
1) Enhanced handling performance and ride comfort through improved steering and suspension (common to all trim levels)
2) Newly available manual transmission (3.0 models only)
3) Newly designed 19-inch forged wheels (3.0 models only)
4) Adoption of new exterior colours
5) Enhanced sound system.
The revised Supra model line-up will debut at the Festival of Motoring at Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit in August.
