Ruling: The new 2021 Toyota Supra's four-cylinder makes the Sporty Coupe more accessible, but the six-cylinder look and feel is the best way to experience the Supra.
Competition vs.: It's the super wild design and nostalgia which makes it unique compared to any objective performance number.
One year after its relaunch to the world, the 2021 Toyota Supre has a lot of new things going on, including a new entry-level turbocharged four-cylinder version and a beef-up, more powerful Turbo Six. Known as the GR Supra 2.0, the 2.0-liter four-cylinder 255 horsepower looks quite weak on paper. Only 255 hp? A supra? After all, the V-6 sedan of a Toyota Camry family has 301 hp and the GR Supra 3.0 with six cylinders is now 382 hp. However, this is one of the best examples of how confusing glasses can be.

It's no secret that the Super's new turbocharged 2.0-liter, BMW-powered six-cylinder; Remove the cover of the SpyFi Toyota engine and you will be greeted with protection, hose, and modules with most BMW logos. Because it is a BMW engine, the Paltry 255-hp rating seems to be more than 300 hp. Rated 295 pound-feet of torque helps too. As with other BMWs, this engine speeds up its rating, so we think the 255 hp conservative or driveline that delivers power on the road - unforgettably efficient - and it's a similar story to the new four-cylinder supra.
At the 2.0-liter I always wanted from the Toyota sports car known as the Zion FR-S, now called the Toyota. Toyota says the four-cylinder Supra ৮ 86 and the supra six-model model -cylinder. The four-cylinder Supra feels like a heavy equilibrium like the Toyota ৮ he, although it has lost the shortness (Supra 2.0 400 pounds heavier) and the sharpness that makes the 86 such an entertaining ride, even the 50 hp makes the Sun; Maybe it's just the tight binding that the 86-ish feels. The Supra 2.0 is not priced, but I wouldn't consider it too intermediate as it is still a BMW-based model (BMW Z4).
Toyota reports that 0-60 miles per hour are 5.0 seconds for a four-cylinder, compared to 4.1 seconds for the 2020 Supra six-cylinder and 3.9 seconds for the updated 2021 Supra Six. All supers use the same eight-speed automatic transmission (including gears) that clicks fast, crisp shifts and rarely drops.
What you don't get in Supra 2.0
Making Supra 2.0 more affordable in a way that doesn't change the way most people look or feel, but for discriminating enthusiasts, it's all in the details. The front brakes move the four-piston fixed caliper from the brambles to the single-piston floating caliper and the rotors of the front brake are compressed from 13.7 to 13.0 inches. The tire models are the same - the Michelin Pilot Super Sports - although 18 inches in diameter by 19 inches, with the same tread width. The construction of the wheel is not what it used to be, which is more desirable imitation aluminum than 19-inches four-cylinder inder aluminum.
In addition to losing 127 hp from the new six-cylinder, you'll also lose the option of a head-up display, heated seats, and adaptive cruise control. The standard adjustable-strength suspension of the six has been replaced by a fixed one and there are no power seats. Say goodbye to a limited-slip differential and the new Under Hood Strut-Tower braces that are new in 3.0 will not appear here, although these may seem like a simple add-on after you decide. It can also lose 219 pounds of carb weight compared to six cylinders.
Supra 2.0 ride and handling
Supra 2.0 has another advantage which is the game aggression of Supra vs. 3.0. Much of the supra appeal is in its bratty six-cylinder snarls, pops, and screams. While the four-cylinder has efficient and respectable acceleration, the Honda Civic Type R or the Ford Focus RS does not have the same mischief as the six or turbo squares found in it. There is no interest in managing it, reacting slowly and rolling the body a bit more. Although I haven't driven Supra 2.0 on the track, I don't think the tracking charge would be appropriate for the entry-level car considering its more casual feel and lack of down-brake calipers, rotor, and limited-slip difference.
Four-Cylinder What?
Speaking of the six cylinders of 2021, I spent a few weeks in 2020 and drove one of them. The extra 4 h hp (335 to 362 hp) is a noticeable jump that feels higher in the rev range where there is no acceleration. 'Fast peaks like the previous engine seem to have more life here and 5,800 to 6,500 rpm for the 335 hp of 2020 Vs. Maximum power is generated between 5,800 to 6,500 pm. Across the city, the difference is not insignificant, and it remains keen to keep all 382 hp free from a responsive, fast-acting engine, with torque rising to just 3 pound-feet 368, starting at 1,800 instead of 1,600 rpm.
Toyota attributes the 14% increase in power to the manifold design of the new exhaust and a modified piston that reduces the compression ratio from 11: 1 to 10.2: 1, allowing more combustion control during high excitation. Chassis tweets have ways to increase roll resistance and increase angle stability with aluminum under-hood brackets that attach each strut tower to a radiator, as well as electric power steering, adaptive suspension, active differential, and electronic stability systems. The result? You probably won’t notice it on the road or when the car isn’t at the limit. While driving on the road I could not observe any transformational handling and I suspect that they took the difference that you were driving backward at most 2020 and 2021 on
One thing that hasn’t been tweeted is the effect of the horrific wind buffeting about 45 miles per hour through the windows below.

Honestly, even after running three different versions in the space of a few weeks, I’ve been slow to get Supra praise. The 2020 base car was 52 52,000, so I hope it will cost more for the new model, including the upgrade. I didn't have Apple CarPlay or Adaptive Cruise control in my entry-level Supra 3.0.0 - you know that things come in standard 20,000 Toyota (negative to be BMW-based). I don’t think one of its performance packages with less expensive cars like the Ford Mustang GT (your pick, 1 or 2), the Magnetic Ride Control (or 1 LE) with the Chevrolet Camero SS or even the relatively superimposed one has many performance advantages. And - I put the 10-speed Auto Mustang GT at 60 miles in 3.9 seconds and the six-speed manual Camaro SS at 4.3 seconds.
What Supra has is a wild flair and attitude. In the shape of a factory, instead of omnipresent performance, this car uses style, imagery, and nostalgia to draw your heart. And that’s why I think the four-cylinder can still be a perfect car - it has the look of the more desirable Supra 3.0.0 and you’ll get just as many heads in the four-cylinder as a bright yellow six-cylinder. Looking for exclusivity for six-cylinder owners it is unfortunate, especially for 2020 Supra owners who have fallen bamboo in 47 hp. If you can swing it, the 2021 six-cylinder will no doubt go with its snoring exhausts, more track-ready parts, and fantastic performance.
The 2021 Supra 3.0 sold with limited availability at the end of June (only 400 were made in the United States prior to the production stop related to COVID-19), and the Supra 2.0 sold out in the fall.
