2022 Toyota Supra Gets A $300 Bump In Price And A New $63k Carbon Fiber Edition

Posted on by

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2022 Supra range and the cost of buying the car has risen, as has the cost of shipping the car to you.

For 2022, the entry-level 2.0-liter Supra rings in at $43,290, $300 more from its base price in 2021, which was $42,990. That’s not the extent of it, though. For 2022, Toyota has also upped its “Delivery Processing & Handling fee” from $995 to $1,025. So customers who waited until this year to buy a cheap Supra will actually be paying $330 more than they would have last year.

Prices for the 3.0-liter Supra have risen even more. Starting at $51,640 ($52,665 w/ destination) in 2022, that’s $650 more than customers were paying in 2021, which was already $1,000 more than they were paying in 2020.

The GR Supra 3.0 Premium also gets a bit of a price bump for 2022, with an MSRP of $54,790 ($55,815 w/ destination), or $300 more than it cost last year. It gets a red leather-trimmed interior option and models equipped with the Premium Audio package get full-screen Apple Car Play.

Finally, the A91-Carbon Fiber Edition is new to the lineup and prices start at a whopping $63,280 ($64,305 w/ destination). The model is limited to just 600 examples, though, and is the most exclusive Mark V Supra to date. It features handmade carbon fiber accents, including a duckbill spoiler, a front splitter, and rockers. It also gets unique 19-inch wheels and can be finished in matte-gray Phantom, Absolute Zero White, or Nitro Yellow.

Like the other 3.0-liter Supras, it makes 382 hp (387 PS/285 kW) and can get to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds. The 2.0-liter model, meanwhile, develops 255 hp (259 PS/190 kW) and can reach highway speeds in just five seconds. Both make more power than they did in 2020 thanks to upgrades introduced last year.

As a nice added touch, every 2022 GR Supra comes with a complimentary one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which gives them access to perks like discounted admission to NASA events and a free high-performance driving event.

Britain Gains Entry-Level Toyota GR Supra 2.0 From £45,995

Posted on by

Britain’s new entry-level 2021 Toyota GR Supra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine and costs £7,000 less ($9,500) than the 3.0-liter variant. The new Supra 2.0 is available to order now from £45,995 ($62,500), with customer deliveries set to commence later this month.

While the £45,995 price tag is for the 2.0 Pro variant, there’s also a Fuji Speedway Edition model to consider, priced from £47,395 ($64,400).

Just like with the straight-six, this unit is also borrowed from BMW, delivering a total output of 254 HP (258 PS) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque, allowing you to hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.2 seconds, before maxing out at 155 mph (250 km/h). Toyota also says that you can expect a return of 38.7 mpg (32.2 U.S. mpg) combined.

With the engine more compact and lighter by 100 kg (220 lbs) compared to the 3.0-liter unit, Toyota managed to mount it further towards the center of the car for a 50/50 weight distribution, which in turn “improves the car’s inertia characteristics and chassis balance for even sharper handling.”

“To achieve agile steering and stable cornering, we worked very hard to reduce the new car’s weight, while aiming for a 50:50 weight balance,” said GR Supra chief engineer Tetsuya Tada. “This presented us with huge challenges, but we did not want to compromise on our targets.”

Specs at launch for the Pro variant include the 18-inch wheels, 8.8-inch multimedia display, four-speaker 100W audio system and Alcantara upholstery for the heated seats. Toyota Supra Safety+ is also available, offering a Pre-Collision Safety system with Braking function, Pedestrian and Cyclist detection with Braking Function, Lane Departure Alert with Active Steering, Road Sign Assist and Automatic High Beam.

As for the Fuji Speedway limited edition model, there are only 45 examples coming to the UK (available at launch).

Is The Toyota 86 Worth Buying With The New Supra 2.0 Now On Sale?

Posted on by

The Toyota 86 may be getting a little long in the tooth, but it is still a great driver’s car. However, with a 2.0-liter variant of the Supra now on sale in the United States, does the 86 remain a compelling buy?

To find out, EverydayDriver put a 2021 Supra 2.0 against a 2020 Toyota 86 Hakone Edition. Ultimately, the two reviewers are split on their opinions of which car is the better value proposition, but the review is well worth a watch.

On the spec sheet, the 86 Hakone features a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder and delivers a total of 205 hp and 156 lb-ft (211 Nm) of torque. It is available with either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic and, of course, is rear-wheel drive.

By comparison, the Supra 2.0 has a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder making 255 hp and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque that is exclusively coupled with an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. It can hit 62 mph (100 km/h) in 5.2 seconds, which isn’t too shabby considering this is the entry-level model.

So, not only is the Supra 2.0 much more powerful than the 86 but it is much more refined and has a far more luxurious interior. However, it costs roughly $16,000 more. That’s a lot of money, so can it justify such a premium over its smaller sibling?

The 2020 Toyota Supra Passes The Moose Test – But It Wasn’t A Walk In The Park

Posted on by

The 2020 Toyota Supra has been one of the most talked-about cars of the past 18 months and is a joy to drive. However, can it pass the moose test?

Ordinarily, we’re accustomed to seeing sedans, estates, SUVs, and pickup trucks being subjected to the moose test – and a surprising number of them fail. Logic dictates that a sports car like the new Supra would pass the test without breaking a sweat – which it did, but not with as much ease as you may expect.

The test was performed by km77 in Spain and shows that the Supra successfully passed the moose test at a top speed of 48 mph (77 km/h). In the clip, we can see how Toyota’s safety systems work together to push the car into understeer while minimizing the loss of traction at the rear wheels, ensuring the driver is able to remain in control. However, the publication notes that it took a bit of practice to perfect the moose test in the Supra due to its variable-ratio power steering.

As the speeds were increased to 49 mph (79 km/h) and 49.7 mph (80 km/h), the Supra failed both times as it skidded into the cones.

The trials concluded with a slalom test that the Supra was able to easily complete successfully. It offered good handling between the cones, but the numb steering was a bit of a letdown.
