Toyota Gazoo Racing will start selling the Supra GT4
to European customer teams in March 2020, with North America to follow in
August and Japan/Asia in October of the same year. The new Toyota GR Supra GT4 race
car is closely related to the road-going model, featuring the same 3.0-liter
straight-six engine with a twin-scroll turbocharger, only here it’s tuned to
produce 430 HP and fitted with an Akrapovic exhaust system.
A seven-speed sports automatic transmission with paddles
on the steering wheel replaces the eight-speed auto, and there’s a mechanical
motorsport-spec locking differential as well. The overall weight is set at
1,350 kg, while the GT4 race car keeps the road going’s Supra’s front
MacPherson strut and multilink rear layout, utilizing adjustable KW performance
dampers all around. The racing brakes come from Brembo, featuring six-piston
calipers at the front and four-piston ones at the rear, while the 18-inch OZ
rims are shod in Pirelli tires.
The GR Supra GT4 comes with the obligatory roll cage
and a FIA-spec racing seat fitted with a six-point harness, while the dash is
fitted with a carbon-fiber instrument panel that houses a display and a
steering wheel designed specifically for GT4 competition.
Customer teams wishing to come in contact for
regional sales and customer support should refer to Toyota Motorsport in
Europe, TRD USA in North America and Toyota Customizing and Development in
Japan/Asia.
The new GR Supra GT4 is expected to be priced from
175,000 euros (US$ 194k in current exchange rates), excluding taxes, customs fees
and other costs.
