They go all out in Toyota and surprise with every model they take out. This is the case of the new Toyota GR Supra, which reaches the European market with the intention of revolutionizing the sectorr and it is not for less. This new car offers the latest technology in the sector at a small price and above all, is designed to meet the expectations and needs of the most demanding users.
The Toyota GR Supra features a 3.0-litre 340 hp Din/250kw inline six-cylinder engine that is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission. Of course, if you were waiting to enjoy the speed and the experience of driving a manual car, telling you you’re in luck, but you’ll have to wait. The Japanese have indicated that they are manufacturing the model and that it will arrive in Europe in the coming months, with a six-speed intelligent manual transmission. It should be noted that the entire GR range will have manual transmission and three pedals.
In Toyota they have gone all out and have incorporated a new transmission along with a new clutch, specifically toGiven the power and torque characteristics of the GR Supra’s 3.0-litre engine. The engineering team has worked on the transmission tunnel, drive shaft, sprocket and gear ratios and removed elements that were not necessary. To all this, each of the versions of the Toyota GR Supra has a readjustment of the suspension, which will allow the performance of the new manual transmission.
A widespread change
The Japanese have taken the opportunity to redesign the center console and the system of selection of the driving mode. All this has been with the intention to enhance the ergonomics of the car, adjusting the travel of the lever and speeding up the change of gears. This is not the only thing they have enhanced and is that the traction and braking of the Toyota GR Supra has been optimized for its operation with the manual transmission.
The Japanese continue to bet on the new technology and incorporate the Hairpin+ function. This function is designed to give more freedom and greater satisfaction when taking tight curves with an upward gradient (more than 5%) on a road with a high friction surface, such as those found on European mountain roads. With all this, we work to achieve greater stability and agility in any situation, avoiding sudden oversteers.
