2020 Toyota GR Supra Revealed!

[BA9092]

It's not far fetched. BMW already confirmed a 6-speed manual will be available for the upcoming 2022 non-Competition M3 and M4 models with the 480-hp 6.

its also worth noting that the lower spec 4 banger Z4 also already comes with a MT in the EU.

That "news" isn't noteworthy unless it's for the 6 cylinder. And I say "news" because there's nothing confirmed yet and those sources are dubious.

But fingers crossed!!!

I feel like you are probably onto something. I bet a 6speed would be for the 4 banger. The auto is so fast that I feel like it is driving a lot of the performance, so the 4 banger could be the enthusiast car that gets the 6speed, and the 6 cylinder gets only the auto to maximize performance and better put the power to the ground.

The other possibility could be that the 6speed is only available on the top spec version that might be getting the M engine. That premium price point might justify the cost of adding a 6speed that can support that power level.

Supra GT4s raced twice at Misano this weekend. Saturday, one was taken out after contact to its rear quarter and the other one broke while running in the top 5. Sunday, one broke and the other one finished 6th. The Videos are available to watch on GT World Youtube channel.

Most GT500 cars are a mother carbon chassis with tube front and rears. Almost all GT500 cars have a v8.


The GT300 BRZ actually uses an oem BRZ shell with the front a rear cut off. Front a rear are full carbon skins over a tube frame. Most GT300 cars use v8's. The Supra GT500 cars run a Toyota 3.4l NA RV8K engine. Most of the Toyota GT300 cars are running the same engine but detuned. The R&D Sport BRZ uses a rebuilt custom billet WRC flat four, the "proud of boxer."

I believe that the current crop of GT500 are running turbocharged 4 cylinder engines just like the DTM cars are in Germany. All of them are also front engine rear drive including the NSX.

On a positive note, the engine in the GT500 Supra is a Toyota made 4 cylinder not a BMW engine.

Your correct, the engine i posted was out of the old TOM's Supra IV.

I saw a Supra in the wild today. I've seen a couple before at a glance and thought they were ugly. This time it was parked at the gas station and I got a good look around. And IMHO it IS ugly as Hell. The rear looks like it has an ill fitting body kit and the front end? WTF is that? At any angle it just looks horrible. Everything is way overdone and over the top. Nothing subtle about it at all.
On the other hand, I saw a new Toyota 86 at the same gas station the other day. And it was Beauty Full. It was silver just like my car. But it made my car look like yesterday's news. It almost made me want to run to the dealer and plop my money down. But reality set in and I remembered. To get any power out of the car I would have to start all over again.
Why can't they just sell an 86 with a Supra drive train? They are made by the same company. Just slap a BMW engine under the hood instead of a Subaru.

On second thought....
The Supra can keep it's transmission. Give me a descent 6 speed manual instead.

I also saw one coming the other way. Didn't like how it looked either. I'm sure some people think it's good looking. Might depend on color more than anything else.

[StraightOuttaCanadaEh]

I think it looks great. As always, it’s down to personal opinion
