When you think of the 2JZ engine, Toyota’s legendary Supra usually comes to mind, but this BMW E30 M3 would beg to differ. This turbocharged inline-six engine now makes at least 1,300hp at the rear wheels, mated to a sequential manual gearbox. Other modifications include Ohlins dampers, Sparco racing seats with four-point harnesses, and a full cage for extra safety.
Can a 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0 GR take on a 2022 Chevrolet Camaro LT1 in a drag racing showdown? Well, on paper, the latter would appear to have a clear advantage with its 6.2L V8 engine that makes 455 hp and 455 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, but don’t count out the Toyota’s turbocharged 3.0L inline-6 engine generating 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque.
Rocket Bunny is known for their extreme body kits, and their latest Toyota GR Supra kit is no exception. This widebody kit boasts an extended front splitter, front lip spoiler, flared wheel arches, black side skirts, and a large rear wing to finish things off. On the performance side, it keeps the factory 3.0L twin-scroll turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine making 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters.
The 2023 Toyota GR Supra has arrived, and it not only boasts a 3.0-litre 382 horsepower engine, but also a 6-speed intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT). This manual transmission will be offered as an option on the Supra 3.0 / 3.0 Premium and a limited A91-MT Edition model, with the latter being produced for model year 2023 only.
The 2023 Toyota GR Corolla hatchback is the company’s first ever, and some are even going as far as comparing it to the legendary Celica GT-Four. Available in Core and launch-year-exclusive Circuit Edition, each one of these compact sports cars will be precision built at the GR Factory at Toyota’s Motomachi Plant.
