Over two decades since the last model
rolled off the production line, the
legendary Toyota Supra is back, and
we’ve already slipped behind the
wheel. The latest generation of the
Supra has been conceived as a pure
sports car, with a front-mounted,
straight-six engine driving the rear
wheels, and building upon the heritage
of Toyota’s past Supra generations and
original 2000GT sports car.
The all-new GR Supra looks mean
and it is, thanks to a 3.0-litre engine
fitted with a turbocharger, producing
335bhp and 500Nm of torque.
Combined with the eight-speed
automatic transmission, you’ll launch
from 0-60 miles per hour in 4.3
seconds, experiencing an exhilarating
burst of power.
Toyota Gazoo Racing (motorsports)
was instrumental in honing this new
sports car’s performance, working
extensively on the famous Nürburgring
Nordschleife course to achieve the
most agile, stable and rewarding
handling possible. All of this is made
possible thanks to the GR Supra’scombination of a short wheelbase and
wide track, light weight, low centre of
gravity and highly rigid body. And as
you start to fully explore the limits of
grip and cornering, you will be held in
place by Toyota’s body-hugging,
race-inspired seats.
Ultimately, the sleek GR Supra is a
fantastic looking sports car that’s fun
to drive, and bedecked with a stylish
interior and state of the art technology.
If you fancy slipping behind the wheel
yourself, it’s available to buy now from
