Progress report: Toyota Supra A90 vs A70

The new(ish), BMW-based Supra meets one of its ancestors

Bet it doesn’t feel like a BMW.

Correct, and that’s important. The A70 has character all its own, and doesn’t feel even remotely German. The new car stands up dynamically, no doubt, and we’re glad it a) exists and b) signals the return of an iconic name, but we still reserve the right to mourn the loss of the unique Japanese-ness of its predecessors.

The 2020 Toyota Supra Has Noticeably Better Bite With A Tune From Litchfield

Verdict

The potential of the A90 Supra is yet to be fully tapped. Litchfield has made a hell of a good start with its opening gambit to the game. 490 HP is not to be sniffed at, and driven sensibly it’s delivered smoothly. From the off, this can be your sole car if you want it to be. And once you’re done driving sensibly around town you can play with some big league stuff without having to invest anywhere near as much cash. Of course, once newer tunes are available, Litchfield (and others) will be able to play with your motor to your heart’s content. The days of the 1000 HP Supra may well be upon us again, only this time with a Bavarian heart.

We all knew tuners would be coming for the A90 Toyota Supra. Litchfield was one of the first to have a go cranking more grunt out of the car’s BMW-sourced powertrain, and its first car took the stock output from 335 to over 400. And there’s more to come once its ECU has been properly mapped.

Toyota GR Supra's BMW-sourced turbocharged inline-six boosted to 340 kW!

Known for uprating BMWs, the folks over at Dähler Design & Technik have now turned their attention to the Z4 M40i’s Japanese cousin, unveiling two performance packs to “comprehensively optimise” the Toyota GR Supra.

Sporting a similar engine to that found under the bonnet of BMW roadster's (watch the Z4 M40i take on the GR Supra and Ford Mustang GT in a drag race here), the rear-driven GR Supra’s turbocharged 3,0-litre inline-six has been boosted to 300 kW and 610 N.m of torque.

Toyota Supra Goes Stealth

The new Toyota Supra has been beefed up by German tuner, Manhart, to produce impressive outputs while also offering stealth appeal.

In standard form, the Toyota Supra is an impressive performance machine, so much so that it scooped the win in the Performance Car category in the #CarsAwards powered by WesBank earlier this year.

Born out of a collaboration between Toyota and BMW, the Supra draws power from a 3.0-litre, 6-cylinder twin-turbo petrol engine that develops 250 kW and 500 Nm and lays it down using an 8-speed automatic transmission.

What makes the Supra so attractive, however, is that it’s a highly tunable car and it serves as a brilliant canvas for aftermarket tuners to beef it up and create something far more powerful.

Toyota Supra RZ Acquires Full BMW Power

BMW engine boosting better numbers, for Supra.

Toyota has shown what might await global Supra
fans soon, with the promise of more power.

Since its launch, followers of the new Supra have been wondering if Toyota would decide to use all the latent power available in its BMW sourced 3-litre in-line six engine.

There are various BMW applications where the B58 twin-turbo engine makes a lot more power than in Supra.

With the announcement of its new Supra RZ edition, for the Japanese market, Toyota has finally delivered an answer of sorts about the discrepancy in power between its cars and BMWs with the same engine. Beyond its Horizon Blue paint finish and matching blue cabin stitching, the most significant news this Supra RZ brings greater engine output.

The factory Supra has delivered 250 kW since its launch, but this RZ edition boosts 285 kW, which is on par with BMW’s M40i specification models, using the same B58 twin-turbo engine.

Toyota says it's in 'constant contact' with BMW over Supra tweaks

Toyota says it has remained “in pretty constant contact” with BMW as it continues to tweak its Supra.

Of course, the A90-generation Supra was developed alongside the latest Z4 roadster, with the rear-driven Japanese sportscar employing both the Munich-based firm’s platform and powertrain options.

Jack Hollis, group vice-president and general manager of the Toyota Division at Toyota Motor North America, told Autoblog the company planned to keep the Supra fresh with fairly regular updates.

He also revealed Toyota and BMW remained in regular contact, saying “we still are bouncing our ideas off each other and sharing our information” despite there being "a lot more separation".

“It’s not devoid of conversation. It’s not devoid of engineering … chief engineer [Tetsuya] Tada and his team stay in pretty constant contact with BMW on features,” Hollis said.

The Toyota Supra Won't Get All Of BMW's Updates, So What Was The Damn Point?

The co-developed BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra sports cars share a number of things, from engines to suspension parts to interior switchgear. But while the Z4 uses BMW’s latest iDrive 7 infotainment tech, the Supra relies on the German company’s iDrive 6 software. And that isn’t going to change.

That’s especially important to note now, as BMW recently announced it’ll begin offering Android Auto on its iDrive 7-equipped cars in July — wirelessly, too. Android Auto is not included with iDrive 6, including the Supra, meaning Toyota’s coupe won’t be available with this smartphone-mirroring tech. Meanwhile, Apple CarPlay is standard.

The Toyota Supra Won't Get All Of BMW's Updates, So What Was The Damn Point? - Jalopnik

Some hardcore Toyota Supra enthusiasts are bothered that the current model doesn’t have a Toyota inline-six, largely wasn’t even developed by Toyota, and is, under the skin, mostly a BMW. And now it looks like it’s an old BMW, at that.

3D Design's body kit for the A90-generation Supra includes a front lip, side skirts and boot spoiler, all of which are fashioned from carbon-fibre. The package also includes a set of 20-inch Type 3 forged alloy wheels, framing red brake callipers. In addition, the Supra has been lowered by a few millimetres.

Inside track: Testing the new Toyota Supra on a PlayStation

Is America's more powerful Supra really better than the UK version? We fire up the games console to find out

The Toyota GR Supra is a much more spacious two-seat coupé than I remember. There’s at least six feet of head room from my seated position, more wood than is typical in a Japanese sports car and softer furnishings, too.

Hold on, this is my living room… But we’ll come back to that. There’s a new, 2021-model-year Supra for the US market, you see, which will go on sale there this month. And it has more power. “Because, why not?” says the strapline in America.

I’ll tell you why not, m’laddio: because of EU emissions legislation. So the 37bhp power boost that the Supra is allowed in the US, taking the output of its straight-six engine from 335bhp to 382bhp, won’t make it to cars sold in Europe.

What might, though, are elements of a revised suspension set-up. There are different chassis tunes for Europe and the US already, but in the States the 2021 Supra gets strut braces, new bump stops, new damper tuning and revised calibration for its power steering, adaptive dampers, stability control and e-differential. All this is to tighten the car’s control and push it more towards being a hardcore sports car than a soft grand touring coupé.

The European-spec 2021 Supra might get some of those elements or it might not. We’d love to tell you which elements work and which ones don’t, but the car hasn’t made it to Europe and, even if it had, I wouldn’t be able to travel anywhere to try it.

So here I am in my living room, in front of a Sony PlayStation, a steering wheel, pedals and the game Gran Turismo Sport, having downloaded both the current and 2021 US-spec Supras. Can a review work this way?
