The improved Toyota GR Supra, available in the 3.0-liter variant and with the introduction of Apple CarPlay (wired) is certain to keep Apple mobile users connected and to complements the earlier generation 8.8-inch touchscreen display with touch pad remote, built- in navigation, USB and Bluetooth already built into the car. The GR Supra is also equipped with a 12- speaker JBL HiFi Surround Sound System for uncompromised sound quality.
The new enhancement is the second update to have been executed on the GR Supra following a performance upgrade that was introduced in July 2020.
The performance upgrade centered on the turbocharged inline-six engine which now delivers 285 kW (388 PS) of power at between 5,800 and 6,500 rpm, representing a 14% increase. Maximum torque remains at 500 Nm, but peaks through a slightly wider range of between 1,800 rpm and 5,000 rpm instead of 1,600 rpm to 4,500 rpm. Toyota engineers had also increased power output by tuning and adding a new dual-branch exhaust manifold with 6 ports (instead of two), which improves heat management. A new piston design meanwhile, reduced the engine’s compression ratio from 11:1 to 10.2:1.
These improvements allow the GR Supra which is equipped with the standard 8-speed automatic transmission to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.1 seconds, a clear 2/10ths of a second quicker, from its previous 4.3 seconds.
The GR Supra’s chassis was further tuned with the addition of a Performance Rod to increase lateral rigidity and greater cornering stability.
Safety remains a priority for Toyota, and even more important with models like the GR Supra which is capable of very high performance. Safety technologies built into the GR Supra enable drivers to take the car safely to its limits. These technologies include a variety of active systems which work together to assist the driver when necessary. That includes Forward Collision Warning; Lane Departure Alert; Adaptive Cruise Control (All-Speed); Adaptive High Beam System; and Road Sign Assist.
Other features include Anti-lock Braking System (ABS); Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD); Brake Assist (BA); Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) & Traction Control (TRC); Hill-start Assist Control (HAC); Emergency Stop Signal (ESS); Blind Spot Monitor (BSM); Rear Cross Traffic Alert; front and rear Parking Sensors; Reverse Camera; and Rear End Collision Warning.
The GR Supra is available in seven distinct colours: White Metallic, Silver Metallic, Ice Grey Metallic, Black Metallic, Prominence Red, Lightning Yellow and Matte Storme Grey Metallic.
