2020 Toyota GR Supra Revealed!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Anyone here have both a GR Supra and an FR-S/86? Trying to see how the trunk compares to each other. I can fit a lot of stuff in my FR-S, especially with the rear seats down.

Big props to Toyota for not giving up on enthusiasts and sports cars. Looking at you Mazda and Mitsubishi. Mazda plz, giv Speed 3 again.

If the Supra wasnt a BMW parts bin car I think there would have been a good chance we'd see a manual handbrake.

the GR Corolla for example has a manual handbrake, while the rest of the Corolla lineup has an electronic ebrake.

Can you imagine that in a few years, the kids of our kids, or my future kids, will say, as they learn to drive on the BRZ, if you keep it "Pop/Dad, what is that lever by your right arm and that stick in the middle, and why does this car have 3 pedals"

According to the interwebs, the Supra's trunk at 10.3 cubic feet is bigger than the 86's at 6.26 (It helps that it's a big hatch).

Yeah, I saw that, but it's an odd shape (narrow opening too). My grocery runs consist of going to Costco and another place, and I can fit everything in the FRS (with the rear seats down). Given how there aren't rear seats in the Supra, I'm wondering how much more or less space there is.

I'm giving up on getting a GR Corolla, so I might settle with the manual Supra if it can still be a good daily driver.

My quick Googling doesn't reveal cargo volume of the 86 w/seats folded, but I can't imagine it's much more than the Supra. While the Supra's trunk is a bit oddly shaped, I'd think loading bulky stuff might be easier because you can go up a bit whereas the 86 is limited by the opening size (which appears smaller on the new one vs the older).

Like, I bet you could still fit four wheels and a jack in a Supra, they'd just be stacked on top of one another instead of side by side.

It's only a limitation from the back, since you can put things in the front and stack it up. We haven't had any GEN2 examples yet, but lots of examples of what you can get in a GEN1 here.

There's no freaking way the trunk of an 86 is only 6.6 cubic feet. That has to be a typo.

I think the rear seats help alot.
Here's a Supra and LC500 (which has a tinier 5 cubic foot trunk but also has backseats that can be used)

I think the LC can give you an idea of how you can use the space in an 86 vs a Supra...

The Supra's trunk shape is weird (i think the 10 cubic feet is under the cover), and it doesnt seem to gain a whole lot from the openness of the hatch. and you're right up against hte seats already.

It's 6.9 cubic feet, but that's with the seat up.

As an example, with the seat down, this fit without rising above above the lower level of the rear window. Pretty sure that's more than 7 cubic feet of stuff.

Even with the seats up, I think the FRS has pretty usable cargo space. I guess I'll just have to find a Supra to put some bags in. LOL

Just travelled 3500km in our 86 with my daughter in the back and 2 months worth of stuff in the boot, including her bike. It was tight, but I’d say the 86 boot is pretty impressive.

I have both. FRS/86 has more space if you count the seats down.

I highly doubt I can even fit my FRS' 17x9s in the trunk of the Supra, much less actual Supra wheels which are like 19x9 & 19x10. The bar would probably have to come off. And it'd be so tight that I'd be scared the wheels would hit the glass when you go over a bump.
The only way I could see it is if you put one wheel on the passenger seat.

Ah, not what I wanted to hear, but assumed would be the case.
