The new Supra! Initial reviews

Ashrez · January 17, 2019

Toyota should have used the Nissan GTR as a benchmark when they set out to build their new Supra. After all, those 2 cars were natural competitors of the same class back in the late 90s and early 2000s along the the Mitsubishi GTO and the Mazda RX7. At a time where numbers matter more than they probably should I think they may have missed the mark on the new Supra.

Supra

RX7

GTO

& NSX

Those were the days, although my experience of them at the time was on the original Gran Turismo on the PS1 🙂

Here's my old RX7 one of the best track day cars I've owned, 400BHP and turbine smooth. Engine re-builds were a given part of ownership but by God when it was running well it flew.

Nearly bought an NSX but bought a V8 Esprit instead (bad move)

Its the same engine as the 340i. Will be 340hp, M40i engine. 0-60 in 4.6s. The interior will be BMW based with Toyota badging. Steering wheel is different but rest of it is similiar.

That's a thing of beauty.

And I'd have loved to have been a fly on the wall when you realised the Esprit wasn't the best move you ever made. I'm not even going to mention that acronym...
