Britain’s new entry-level 2021 Toyota GR Supra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and costs £ 7,000 less (US$ 9,500) than the 3.0-liter variant. The new Supra 2.0 is available to order now from £45,995 (US$ 62,500), with customer deliveries set to commence later this month. While the £ 45,995 price tag is for the 2.0 Pro variant, there’s also a Fuji Speedway Edition model to consider, priced from £ 47,395 (US$ 64,400).
Just like with the straight-six, this unit
is also borrowed from BMW, delivering a total output of 254 HP and 400 Nm of torque, allowing you to hit 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds,
before maxing out at 250 km/h. Toyota also says that you can expect a
return of 38.7 mpg (32.2 U.S. mpg) combined.
With the engine more compact and lighter
by 100 kg compared to the 3.0-liter unit, Toyota managed to mount it
further towards the center of the car for a 50/50 weight distribution, which in
turn “improves the car’s inertia characteristics and chassis balance for even
sharper handling.”
Specs at launch for the Pro variant include
the 18-inch wheels, 8.8-inch multimedia display, four-speaker 100W audio system
and Alcantara upholstery for the heated seats. Toyota Supra Safety+ is also
available, offering a Pre-Collision Safety system with Braking function,
Pedestrian and Cyclist detection with Braking Function, Lane Departure Alert
with Active Steering, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beam. As for the Fuji
Speedway limited edition model, there are only 45 examples coming to the UK
(available at launch).
