New Toyota Supra | Met Top Gear
The new fifth-generation Toyota Supra
This is the new fifth-generation Toyota Supra other Toyota Gazoo racing Supra to give it its full name that nobody will ever use.
It's the car we've been waiting forever since Toyota showed us the FT1 concept of the Detroit Motor Show in 2014.
Whereas back in the 90s its predecessor was an absurdly powerful thing. And that's for the mid-engined Ferrari 348 of its day the new car's output of 335 horsepower has stayed roughly the same that means the super it is no longer a Supercar killer but a rival to less exotic but no less talented stuff like the Porsche Cayman BMW M2 and 110 what hasn't changed is the trustee super formula. So turbocharged straight-six engine in the front rear-wheel drive a proper sports car chassis and this gorgeous curvy Body Work draped over the top in performance terms.
Then this is the bigger brother to the GT86 but it's actually a shorter car with a shorter wheelbase because the aim here is more aggression and more agility as a result. It's moved to a two-seater layout but you do get a boot big enough for your dog, unlike its predecessors that were designed engineered and built in Japan and infused with that intangible Japanese Madness. The new super has been co-developed with the BMW Z4, which is that car over here.
Both of these have the same engine the same 8-speed automatic gearbox the same platform suspension Hardware large chunks of the Interior, they'll even be built on the same production line in Austria.
So for those of you out there, Using the poor super have been just a re-bodied and returns, therefore.
My prediction is this the die-hard petrol heads and longtime superfans will be a pulled. The Toyota is accepted such enormous chunks of BMW hardware for the return of a badge that lies at the epicenter of Japanese performance con culture on the flip side most will just shrug their shoulders and thank their lucky stars that anyone is prepared to build a car like this in this climate and just roll with it after all if you don't have your own straight-six engine who better to borrow an off and BMW, right?
There's AB for and the Supra it different cars this A soft-top Roadster this a hardtop Coupe a the BMW has a softer more middle of the road appeal which is a nice way of saying a face only a mother could love where was the Super with its aggressive front end and muscular launches is clearly aimed more at the Enthusiast now, maybe it's flashes of the granddaddy itself for 2000gt in that long Bonnet orbits of the old super the at in the front and rear end styling all the Utter Insanity of that multi-tiered rear end.
First things first and you might want to brace yourself for this one. There is quite a lot of BMW in here the infotainment screen the graphics on the infotainment screen the switchgear here the climate control system the entire iDrive controller the steering wheel right in front of you the key.
Yeah all BMW.
The Toyota is accepted such enormous chunks of BMW hardware
Toyota has designed its own rev counter right in front of you. So there is that but here's the thing we can get upset or we can be thankful because I'm telling you the quality in the longevity of this cabin is a whole lot better than the plastic e GT 86, it just does Toyota have to be quite so obvious about the engine then it is a turbo 3 liter straight-six shared with the Zeb for M40.
I producing 369 pounds-feet of torque and 335 horsepower between 5,000 and six and a half thousand RPM, although there's not much reward for going past six. Awesome. The transmission is a familiar 8-speed ZF Auto UK cars have a limited-slip differential standard and it weighs under 1,500 kilos Toyota claims not to 62 in 4.3 seconds, which is quicker than the M2 competition the Cayman GTS and the Alpine A110. So this is not a slow car but there are a few things to mention Toyota claims that it's tuned this engine itself, but it revs it sounds and it feels exactly like a BMW. In fact, I bet if you blindfolded yourself and drove this car, which I can't possibly recommend by the way, you would think you're in a BMW the gearbox to isn't perfect this 8-speed ZF Auto a Porsche pdk, for example, is a little bit snappier, but make no mistake. This is a power train of Distinction.
It's smooth its Punchy.
It's sophisticated in a way that four-cylinder engine just can't listen to the way the end. No hardens between five and a half and 6000 RPM again.
All that is super but it is strangely familiar look in a world where 600 horsepower super saloons are becoming the norm. I love the way that you can actually use. This car's performance on roads like this. You can rev it out. It's actually usable. I've even come up with a phrase for this car is realistically rapid.
This car strikes a really nice balance between responsiveness and refinement
In terms of handling, it just feels sure-footed broad-shouldered stable on the road and plenty of other cliches if I can think of them.
Basically, this car strikes a really nice balance between responsiveness and refinement Toyota even says the body shell of this car is stiffer than the Lexus LFA hypercar.
This is very much a road car at heart unusually for electronics obsessed modern cars. There are only two driving modes normal and Sport the latter sharpens, the throttle mapping changes the shift pattern and steering wait tweaks the diff firms up the dampers and uncork some extra noise from the exhaust the ESP has a middle track setting or can be switched off completely if you're feeling a bit handy now, I know there are literally thousands of tuners waiting in the wings. To drop in there to Jay said engines with a gazillion horsepower and turn this into a tire-shredding drift machine, but as it is on Face Value, this car really does hit a sweet spot of real-world performance.
My heart is telling me to dislike it for just being a BMW in drag but my head is telling me I quite like the costume.
The truth is all these unashamed BMW parts showing is just a reality of the modern profit-driven car industry.
If you can find a way to see past all that you'll find that Toyota has built an extremely capable car with all the super touchpoints prices that starter what just under fifty-three grand. Yeah, that's quite a lot of money and the waiting list will be sizable. But any manufacturer that can find a way to build a small petrol power couplet in this climate has to be applauded right even one. That's all part of its Japanese soul for a German one.
