Watch 1,000 HP (746 KW) Toyota Supra Engine Assembly
Last month the crew from Papadakis Racing shared a video on YouTube of the B58 (BMW) Toyota Supra engine teardown (see last video below) where they estimated that it could be upgraded to produce as much as 1,000 hp (746 kW).
Now they have just released the video of the engine assembly and not only is it quite soothing to watch, but it also details all the upgraded parts (see the second video below) and as you can imagine, there are quite a few of them.
The bulk of the changes come in the rebuilt head with improved porting and upgraded valvetrain components. During the teardown phase, it was mentioned that the engine seemed well-built to handle big power from the factory, and this head gasket is part of BMW’s magic. However, a custom set of upgraded head studs were used so the head could be torqued to the block just a bit tighter.

The next step for this project is to see whether the work paid off. It’s slated for dyno testing in the near future, and we’ll share that video as soon as it posts.

Toyota Bringing Big Wing Supra 3000GT Concept To SEMA
The 2019 SEMA show is just around the corner and the TRD team from Toyota will be bringing a wild-winged Supra 3000GT Concept as shown in these teaser images and clip below.
The teaser video indicates that the new model takes inspiration from the 1994 Toyota Supra TRD 3000GT concept (see at bottom of post) which took inspiration from the racing version at the time by wearing a vented hood, wider fenders, and a big wing.

Toyota teases GR Supra 3000 GT Concept (with huge wing)
Toyota is finally putting the obligatory big back wing onto its Supra, but you’ll have to wait until November 5 to see the finished product, which takes the form of the GR Supra 3000 GT Concept.
Toyota has given us a sneak peek at the new concept in the video below, released ahead of its Sema show debut in Las Vegas next month.
The 3000 GT concept is the work of Toyota’s TRD racing division, but at this stage it’s unclear whether it’ll actually be more powerful than the standard car, which is powered by a 250kW, 500Nm version of BMW’s 3-litre straight-six turbopetrol, mated to an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

Toyota Supra GT4
The Toyota GR Supra GT4 is based on the GR Supra - TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's first-ever global model - and is developed and produced by TOYOTA Motorsport GmbH ("TMG").
A three-litre in-line six cylinder engine with single twin-scroll turbocharger has been tuned to 320kW (430hp) with a 7-speed sports automatic transmission with paddle shift and the mechanical limited slip differential driving the rear wheels. An Akrapovi exhaust system will be fitted and Ravenol will provide first-fill lubricants.
The front splitter and rear wing are made of natural fiber composite, contributing to an overall weight of 1,350kg. Following the specification of the GR Supra road car, the front suspension will be MacPherson strut, and rear suspension will be multilink with KW dampers at the front and rear.
The braking system is enhanced through the use of a dedicated brake calliper for racing, six-piston front and four-piston rear, while running on Pirelli tires.
Safety will be a priority and the Toyota GR Supra GT4 will be installed with a high-strength roll cage on the lightweight steel body, and an FIA-standard racing seat with six-point harness. The interior will feature a carbon fiber instrumental panel with a display and steering wheel specifically designed for GT4 competition.

ROAD TEST: Toyota GR Supra
TEST SUMMARY
We were worried the Supra would feel too much like a BMW and not enough like a Toyota. We needn’t have been. The end product sits on a spectrum: the cabin and engine lean unmistakably Bavaria while the driving experience teems with approachable Japanese cues rather than composure-über-alles German ones. It’s a mish-mash that somehow works quite brilliantly, especially as a daily runner where refinement and accomplished damping count for more than ultimate body control.
We have our concerns about the strong pricing, especially in light of the Porsche 718 Cayman and the considerably more powerful M2 Competition, and how the market will accept this hybridised Toyota. However, with a score of 80/100, the Supra clearly won over the affections of a cynical CAR team.

Toyota builds a Supra GT4 with 320 kW!
This GT4-specification race car demonstrates how much scope the GR Supra has for further development.
Since its launch, sportscar enthusiasts have been pondering how Toyota will evolve its new GR Supra with potentially more potent derivatives. The standard car produces a peak output of 250 kW and offers more than adequate performance, balanced by a harmonized dynamic driving experience. Yet the 3.0-litre straight-6 turbopetrol engine undoubtedly has vast potential for producing more power.
Although Toyota has not officially committed on the likelihood that a potent Supra road-car variant will be released in due course, it has now revealed a GT4-specification factory racer that illustrates the platform’s potential.

Is Anyone Actually Buying The New Toyota Supra?
In case you may not be aware, Toyota brought back the Supra. It’s a good and fast car, with mostly BMW parts under the skin. It still packs a turbocharged inline-six that sends power to the rear wheels and while it may not decimate all, it does have a pretty reasonable starting price. But is anyone actually buying them?
On Jalopnik’s slack channel the staff was having a discussion as to how none of us have seen a brand new Supra on our local roadways. A few of us have spotted the Supra’s mechanical twin, the BMW Z4, but for some reason, Toyota isn’t getting the love.
According to Autotrader.com, there are over 650, new 2020 Toyota Supras currently listed for sale. So we certainly can’t blame a lack of inventory. While some of them have the expected bonkers dealer markups asking upwards of $200,000 or more, there are a few cars advertised below MSRP.

This 2020 Toyota Supra Got LS V8-Swapped But Not With The Engine You Think
One of the very first two 2020 Toyota Supras to get engine swapped just got its engine changed again, this time from a Toyota 2JZ straight six to a V8. It’s not the LS you’d think it’d be, but it is an LS engine.
The exact engine is the 3UZ, the second development of the 1UZ that powered the iconic original LS400. That was the 1UZ, though. The 3UZ powered, uh, the Lexus LS430 among other things, like, uh, Super GT cars and Daytona Prototypes, as Road and Track notes.

Toyota is celebrating its new Supra with a flood of custom builds.
To ensure a strong presence at the 2019 SEMA show, Toyota has no less than nine Supras on display. Featuring a range of custom upgrades and catalogue bits, these SEMA Supras give an inkling of where Toyota could evolve its sportscar in future.
One of the most striking of all these SEMA Supras, is a bright green version quite aptly called the Wasabi edition. Beyond its lurid hue, this is an interesting build, completed under the auspices of Toyota’s genuine accessories team.
The aim of Toyota’s Wasabi edition Supra is to evaluate customer reaction and develop new parts for future upgrades of the current car.
