The current Toyota GR Supra has its critics. Many claim that because it was developed with BMW, it’s not a true Toyota, nor a true Supra. However, much like the Mk4 Supra it replaced, the current model has become popular across the tuning scene, meaning owners have plenty of ways to upgrade and modify their cars while eliminating some of the ‘BMW-ness’. Many European tuners offer a comprehensive suite of upgrades for the Supra, including AC Schnitzer. The company has heaps of experience working on BMWs, meaning is right at home working on the Supra too. From engine upgrades to suspension overhauls and extra aero bits, AC Schnitzer can make anyone’s dream Supra a reality.
On the engine front, AC Schnitzer offers a
tune for both the 3.0-liter and 2.0-liter models. The 3.0-liter turbocharged
six-cylinder model is boosted from the original 340 hp and 500 Nm of early models to 400 hp and 600 Nm. Similarly, the 2.0-liter
turbocharger four-cylinder’s output is increased from 258 hp and 400
Nm to 300 hp and 470 Nm. Supra owners who want to make their
sports car sound a little nicer can also order a stainless steel exhaust with
carbon tailpipes. Perhaps the most significant upgrade offered by the tuner is
a new adjustable suspension setup with active dampers that offer manual
adjustment for compression and rebound. These new coilovers promise to
transform how the car handles. Should owners not want to fit coilovers, AC
Schnitzer also sells lowering springs.
Several 20-inch and 21-inch wheels are
available for the sports car, as are a handful of aero tweaks. The most
significant aero upgrade is a carbon fiber rear wing that gives the Supra that
real ‘tuner’ feel. A carbon fiber front splitter is also on offer for the car,
as is a carbon fiber gurney flap that can be added to the wing.
The car’s interior has some minor
alterations, with AC Schnitzer designing and developing new aluminum pedals, a
new controller for the infotainment display, and a key holder that sits in one
of the cup holders.
