Toyota Supra / Toyota Supra
Toyota is bringing back its legendary Supra supercar in 2019 after a 17-year hiatus since the previous fourth generation of the model ended production. The development of the Toyota Supra (A90) started in 2012 as part of the cooperation between Toyota and BMW, so the Japanese coupe from the technical point of view is largely unified with the Z4 roadster. Toyota emphasizes that they aimed to create a sports car that can deliver maximum driving pleasure. Toyota Supra is strictly a 2-seater model. With a length of 2,470 mm, it has a wheelbase of 2,470 mm (100 mm less than the GT86) for excellent steering.

The drive is rear-wheel drive, an active differential is provided that can redistribute the torque for more efficient driving on different road surfaces. Three engines are announced - a 2-liter turbo unit with boost options for 197 and 258 forces, as well as a top-end supercharged 3-liter engine with a capacity of 340 hp. A new 8-speed automatic ZF is called to assist them. The Toyota Supra is equipped with Brembo brakes with 4-piston calipers. The interior of the supercar is similar in design and ergonomics to the Z4 - the models have a lot in common, from the architecture of the front panel to the recognizable gearshift lever. In addition, BMW has also borrowed a multimedia complex with a tablet display and an iDrive system. In the list of declared options - the projection of devices on windshield, JBL "music", digital instrument panel, LED optics.
The legendary supercar came to our market in the only available Passion equipment line. The standard equipment list for this configuration includes a wide range of forged 19-inch wheels, full LED optics, electrically adjustable side mirrors with memory and auto-folding functions, sports seats with improved lateral support and an extended power adjustment package, front and rear parking sensors, 2-zone climate system with sensor exhaust gases, intelligent keyless access to the car.

In our review new Toyota Supra 2019-2020 you will find out the configuration and prices of the car, its specifications, and you will also find photos of a sports coupe and video test drives, but for now a little excursion about the appearance of the model.
Toyota Supra 5th generation with the A90 index made its debut on January 14, 2019 at international motor show in Detroit. The development of the model lasted for several years, and colleagues from BMW actively helped the Japanese in creating the coupe. In fact, new model is a direct relative of the Bavarian roadster Z4 (G29).
The manufacturer refers to the fifth generation car as the GR Supra, where “GR” is an abbreviation for “Gazoo Racing” (sports division Japanese brand). The start of sales of the coupe in Europe is scheduled for the summer, and by the end of two thousand nineteenth Toyota Supra will reach the Russian dealers of the brand. The price has been announced so far only for the USA - from $ 49,990.
Specifications
The new body of Toyota Supra 2019 is largely unified with the BMW Z4, although the Japanese themselves prefer not to talk about it. The model is built on an aluminum and steel chassis, which in terms of torsional rigidity is 2.5 times higher than the platform of the junior GT86 coupe.
The car has retained the classic rear-wheel drive layout with a front engine, and the suspension scheme is typical of racing. MacPherson strut at the front and a five-link design at the back. Plus, the list of equipment includes adaptive dampers and an active differential.
The latter distributes the torque between the right and left driving wheels in the range from 0 to 100%, focusing on the current road conditions... As conceived by Toyota engineers, such a solution is intended to provide "uncompromising character of handling."
In length, width and height, the new Toyota GR Supra 2019 reaches 4,380, 1,865 and 1,295 mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2,470 mm. The curb weight of the two-door varies from 1,410 to 1,520 kg, while the developers managed to achieve an ideal weight distribution along the axles (50:50).
The line of power units for Supra entirely consists of Bavarian engines, which Zet 4 is equipped with, and the Japanese borrowed the motors "as is", that is, they did not change their performance, although the settings of the control electronics and the exhaust sound were nevertheless tweaked by testing the sports car on the legendary the Nürburgring track.
The 2019 Toyota Supra coupe in a new body can be ordered with a 2.0-liter "turbo four", available in two boost options. Such an engine develops either 197 hp. (320 Nm), or 258 forces (400 Nm), and so far both motors have been announced only for the Japanese market.
In the US and European markets, the sports car has no alternative 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Its performance is 340 "horses" and 500 Nm of torque. All of these engines are combined with an eight-speed automatic transmission that transmits traction to the wheels of the rear axle.
It is noteworthy that in terms of acceleration from zero to a hundred, the new Toyota GR Supra turned out to be somewhat faster than the “Bavarian brother”. Versions with a base 197 hp engine. to take this bar it takes 6.5 seconds (- 0.1), and with a 258-strong one - 5.2 seconds (- 0.2). The top modification fires up to 100 km / h in 4.3 s (- 0.2).
These figures are due to the lower mass, as there is a hard top, while the Z4 roadster has a mechanism for transforming the roof. Maximum speed All versions of Toyota Supra 2019 are electronically limited to 250 km / h, and four-piston Brembo brakes are responsible for safe stopping.
The list of electronic assistants of the model is presented automatic switching high beam for near, frontal collision warning with pedestrian recognition and automatic emergency braking, as well as the function of tracking the lane.
Photos of the new Toyota Supra 2019
Exterior
The new Toyota Supra 2019-2020 model year is made in a new style of "concentrated extreme", while in the appearance of the fifth generation sports car, not only the features of its predecessor can be traced, but also references to the legendary Toyota 2000GT.
Compared to the fourth generation car, the "face" of the novelty has changed the most. The car got more aggressive front bumper with massive air intakes, as well as fancy headlights, on the sides of which there are stylish ventilation slots.
A key design element of the new Toyota GR Supra V is a long and squat bonnet with a center section designed to resemble Formula 1 racing cars. Plus, the cockpit shifted back, the sloping Double Bubble roof with a characteristic double bend and short overhangs contribute to the creation of a swift silhouette.
The two-door sports a wide and well-defined "hips", giving the model a similarity to the Dodge Viper. At the stern, small narrow lanterns are neatly inscribed in the influx of the rear fenders, on the sides of which, again, vertical ventilation slots flaunt. Plus the sirloin is remembered by the integrated spoiler and a pair of round exhaust pipes.
By default, the car is set on 19-inch wheels, "shod" in Michelin Pilot tires Super sport dimension 255/35 and 275/35 front and rear, respectively, although in Japan the car can be ordered with more modest wheels with a diameter of 17 or 18 ".
Salon
New double saloon decoration Toyota models The 2019-2020 GR Supra partially repeats that of its sister BMW Z4. In particular, the "Japanese" has a similar front panel architecture and the same chubby steering wheel with a selector washer on the central tunnel.
The interior of the sports car is trimmed with leather and Alcantara, while the point inserts made of carbon fiber are designed to add sophistication to it. At the top of the wide center console, the 8.8-inch flatbed multimedia display draws attention to itself.
Plus, the car is equipped with a digital tidy, on which a large tachometer dial is drawn, while the top versions of the coupe can additionally boast a projection onto the windshield.
In the interior of the Toyota Supra 5, sports bucket seats are also installed, as a result of which the interior of the car turned out to be similar to the cockpit of a full-fledged racing car.
Video test drive Toyota GR Supra
Early 1993 Japanese company Toyota has pleased the world community with the next, fourth in a row, generation of its rear-wheel drive sports car Supra with the in-plant index "A80", which has been developing since February 1989. Compared to its predecessor, the car has experienced drastic changes, and not only external, but also constructive.
In 1996, the two-door underwent modernization, having received, as a result, a corrected appearance and minor technical improvements, after which it stood on the conveyor until 2002, without acquiring a direct follower.
And by today's standards, the fourth generation Toyota Supra looks impressive - the car attracts attention with a swift body silhouette with smooth outlines and verified aerodynamic performance. But, despite the embossed bumpers and a large wing on the trunk lid, there is not even a hint of obvious aggression in the exterior of the sports car, and all thanks to the "friendly" lighting technology and the absence of sharp edges.
The fourth "release" Toyota Supra is a sports car of the "Grand Tourer" class, which measures 4520 mm in length, 1275 mm in height and 1810 mm in width. The wheelbase of the two-door fits into 2550 mm, and under its bottom there is a clearance of 130 mm.
The interior of "Supra A80" with all its appearance declares its sporty essence - the driver is housed in a kind of cockpit with an arched front panel, which contains three "round" instrument clusters and control units for the audio system, "microclimate" and other functions. The decoration of the car is distinguished not only by its interesting design, but also by high-quality materials and careful assembly.
The car is declared by the manufacturer as a four-seater, but if the front riders are given “tenacious” seats with a brightly distinguished profile and a sufficient supply of living space, then the passengers in the “gallery” will definitely feel the inconvenience and an obvious lack of space both in the legs and above their heads.
The luggage compartment of the fourth generation Toyota Supra fully complies with the class canons - its volume in the "stowed" state is only 185 liters. Despite the modest capacity, the “hold” is easily accessible thanks to the large luggage door.
Specifications. On the "Supra" of the 4th generation, you can find exclusively gasoline power plants- the car was equipped with in-line six-cylinder units with a volume of 3.0 liters (2997 cubic centimeters) with a 24-valve DOHC timing belt and distributed fuel supply.
- Under the hood of the basic versions of the sports car there is naturally aspirated engine developing 225 Horse power at 6000 rpm and 284 Nm of peak thrust at 4800 rpm.
- More productive versions "flaunt" a motor with two turbochargers, the return of which depends on the specification: 280 "mares" at 5600 rpm and 432 Nm of torque at 3600 rpm, or 324 forces at 5600 rpm and 427 Nm of potential at 4000 rpm.
Power units are accompanied by 6-speed "mechanics" or 4-speed "automatic", directing the entire power reserve to the wheels of the rear axle. The most "pumped" car accelerates to a maximum of 250 km / h (the speed is "wired" by electronics), and from one place to the first "hundred" can accelerate in just 5.1 seconds.
Fourth generation Toyota The Supra is based on a rear-wheel drive platform with a supporting structure of the body, part of the attachment elements of which are made of aluminum. Chassis the two-door is completely independent - both front and rear, a multi-link design with coaxial shock absorbers, lateral stabilizers and coil springs is used.
The car is equipped with a rack and pinion steering system and hydraulic power steering, and its braking system is represented by ventilated discs on all wheels and electronic "assistants".
The features of the car are spectacular appearance, high-quality interior, high reliability, powerful engines, excellent dynamics, excellent driving performance and good equipment.
But it has a "Japanese" and negative sides - expensive service, high consumption fuel and low level practicality.
Price. The fourth generation Supra is very popular among Russian motorists, so such a sports car is easy to find on secondary market at a price of 400 thousand rubles and more (it all depends not so much on the year of manufacture and condition, but on the degree of tuning).
The appearance of a legendary brand on the market may induce a person to buy a car, thereby slightly improving the financial position of the manufacturer's company. The Japanese company Toyota also decided to go this way, presenting two concepts in 2014: Toyota FT-HS and Toyota FT-1. The first concept car will form the basis of the new Toyota Supra 2015-2016. While there is very little information about the legend of the Japanese automotive industry, it is already possible to estimate its futuristic appearance from photo and video materials. It is clear that the presented concept will not necessarily be fully embodied in mass production, although a large number of motorists from all over the world would like this. But domestic consumers will be seriously disappointed, since, judging by the photographs presented, the size ground clearance will be minimal - the clearance is so small that the minivan literally touches the floor of the presentation hall with the bottom. Imagine what will become of this car when it rolls on very smooth and high-quality roads in our country. Nevertheless, the Japanese guarantee that the Supra will appear with us, which means its cost and this nuance will not stop true admirers of this car brand. There is no sense in talking seriously about the technical characteristics, since what the Japanese will come up with with the suspension design, brakes and other mechanisms for now unknown. The only information available concerns the engine that will be installed on the new Japanese car -2016. One hundred percent of the power unit will be hybrid. From this it follows that the gearbox will most likely be represented by an automatic transmission - a robotic automatic transmission is also possible. It is clear that fuel consumption will be minimal. To solve the problem of the economy of their car, the Japanese installed on it wheel disks 20-22 inches, I also had to work on creating custom tires for this vehicle.

So far, we can only enjoy the appearance and interior of the Japanese: the front part is decorated with narrow, original headlights, and a very unusual hood smoothly flows into an interesting front bumper. The radiator grill is simply missing as it is not needed electric motor located in front of the vehicle. The side part and rear of the vehicle are simply discouraged by the number of complex lines and elements designed to provide the highest aerodynamic characteristics to the car. The new generation of Supra has a two-seat cabin. The armchairs are sporty and radically differ in color from the general design of the interior space. The driver's seat itself is made in a separate area, reminiscent of the cockpit of a spacecraft. The dashboard looks especially impressive, all the devices on which are located in a very unusual way. What will eventually come out of the Japanese developers is not yet known, as well as the estimated cost of the new car.
Toyota Supra 2015
The second version of the Toyota FT-1 concept is also very interesting, but the prototype of which model it will become is not yet known. The interior of this model is more mundane, which cannot be said about the exterior of the vehicle: what are only LED headlights, each of which consists of three sources. The advantage of the second model is undoubtedly the greater number of power units presented, since not all motorists trust hybrid installations yet. The FT-1 engines are currently as follows: - basic gasoline engine with a volume of 3.5 liters and a capacity of 350 horsepower;
Toyota Supra (Toyota Supra) 2015-2016 - medium gasoline power unit with a volume of 5.0 liters and 450 horsepower;
- basic hybrid plant with a total capacity of 400 horses. The volume of the gasoline component is 3.5 liters.
2016 will clearly be supplied four-wheel drive, the appearance of a variator from a 2014 Lexus RX is possible. The price of this car is also completely unknown, as well as the beginning of mass production of the vehicle. Although some specialists who conducted a demonstration test drive managed to ride this Japanese car, they did not provide more detailed information.
Recently, manufacturers have finally begun to delight consumers with interesting developments, which, and we hope so, can change the entire concept of the global automotive industry in the very near future. The Japanese are well aware of this, so they try to keep up with the times and develop amazing and ahead of time vehicles in advance.
Review of the new Toyota Supra 2019-2020: appearance, interior, technical characteristics, configuration, parameters, security systems and price. At the end of the article, a photo and video review of the Toyota Supra.
Contents of the review:
It has been rumored for over two years that the Japanese manufacturer is planning to revive the legendary Toyota Supra coupe. Repeatedly hunters for prototypes showed a sports car in spy photos, each time with a certain change in design or a modified body. Today it is the 5th generation, and the previous 4th generation of the Supra A80 sports car was discontinued 17 years ago.
The photo shows 5 generations of Toyota Supra
The new serial Toyota Supra A90 was officially presented at the Detroit Auto Show. Despite the novelty, the sports car is quite reminiscent of the 4th generation, but otherwise relies on the basis of the latest generation. Now let's take a closer look at the new Toyota Supra, its configuration and price.

Exterior of the new Toyota Supra 2019-2020
The appearance of the new Toyota Supra sports coupe has really become modern and stylish, but if you look closely, you can recognize the previous generation in it. As before, the car body is designed for 2 seats, so expect large sizes not worth it. The front of the new 2019-2020 Toyota Supra coupe is still elongated, but the basic filling has changed dramatically.
In front designers have added new optics with well-defined lenses, long L-shaped daytime running lights, with a small cut towards the center of the sports car. The Toyota Supra radiator grill, as such, does not exist; instead, the designers added three mesh inserts at the bottom of the bumper, which also serve as aerodynamic guides. A couple of additional holes appeared on the sides of the bumper, just below the optics.
As already mentioned, the basis for the new Toyota Supra was the latest generation of the BMW Z4. This can be easily seen on the large hood of the Japanese coupe, it lies along the perimeter of the entire front end, also performing the role of the upper part of the fenders. In addition to its considerable dimensions, for better aerodynamics, holes have been added to the sides of the hood, which serve to divert the air flow from the wheels. The windshield of the new Toyota Supra 2019 can be said to have also migrated from the Z4, small dimensions and a sporty backward slope.
Side view of the new Toyota Supra 2019-2020 fully meets modern trends. Massive fenders, sports doors with air intakes and black painted pillars. There is also one detail that they nevertheless decided to make comfortable, and not stylish - the side mirrors. In the shown prototypes in the spy photos, both mirrors were narrowed, in the production model they are quite standard, with a good viewing angle and a small mounting foot. The standard set of mirrors will include an LED turn signal repeater and an electric adjustment drive; heating and automatic folding will be offered as an option.
By body color, the new Toyota Supra is available in:
- bright red;
- deep yellow;
- blue;
- Gray;
- snow white;
- black.
Behind the new Toyota Supra GR looks no less attractive. Many details are reminiscent of the first introduced prototype Toyota FT-1, but with modifications to modern motives. The coupe has received a trunk lid in the form of a "duck tail" and a massive bumper. The peculiarity of such a cover is that the top is narrowed towards the center, and the shape itself acts as a small spoiler, with good aerodynamics.
The hind feet, like many of the details of the new 2019 Toyota Supra, are LED-based, with pronounced lines. The main part of the bumper received a noticeable recess for license plates and a rear-view camera. The very bottom was supplemented with a massive splitter, with red fog lights on the sides and a massive stop repeater in the center. The final design feature of the Toyota Supra comes from two large, chrome-plated exhaust tips.
The final appearance detail of the Toyota Supra is the roof. Unlike the prototype, where it was solid, the production model received two convex parts on the sides and a slight bend in the center. There will be no hatch or panorama in the production model, although there has been a lot of controversy over this. Rear glass Toyota Supra also got a good slope, which speaks of the sporty character of the car.
The conclusion about the appearance of the new Toyota Supra 2019-2020 begs itself, original, with refined details and a reminder of the previous 4th generation sports car. Even though it is based on the BMW Z4, the exterior design will delight fans of the model.
Interior Toyota Supra 2019-2020
If the appearance of the Toyota Supra sports coupe is unique and made in the style of the Japanese manufacturer, then the interior of the novelty will completely disappoint fans of originality. Having previously considered new bmw Z4 2018 and sitting in the salon of the new Toyota Supra 2019-2020, at first glance you can find dozens of identical parts. Even the design and shapes are closely taken from the Bavarian novelty.
Front Panel Toyota Supra 2019-2020 fully resembles the BMW Z4, just look at the center console. The very top is adorned with a large 12.3 "touchscreen display of the multimedia system, based on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Exactly the same design in form and software, as experts say, everything reminds of a BMW, only here is the Supra in the picture. The central tunnel is also resembles a Bavarian sports car.
The main console of the Supra is pivoted towards the driver, but not as much as in the 4th generation. The very top is adorned with a pair of air ducts and a full-width chrome line. Below the console is the audio control panel and the climate control panel. The central tunnel reminds much more of the similarities between the new Toyota Supra and the BMW Z4. The arrangement of the elements and even the design of the transmission lever quite betrays the origin.
At the very beginning, the designers placed a panel for charging from a USB port, a 12V outlet and wireless charging. Further along the tunnel, a transmission lever in the style of a BMW, a selector washer for controlling the multimedia system, as well as an electromechanical handbrake button and control of suspension modes.
As already mentioned, the interior of the new Toyota Supra is designed to accommodate only two passengers. Beginning with basic configuration coupe, the manufacturer installed sports seats with a high, monolithic backrest and an electric adjustment. Decent lateral support and a comfortable fit distract a little from the idea that even here the designers did not copy from the Z4 BVM.
Interior trim Toyota Supra 2019-2020 will delight, starting with the basic configuration. The buyer is offered leather upholstery with a combination of Alcantara. There is not a lot of information on the interior colors of the new Supra, it is reliably known about:
- black;
- Red;
- Brown;
- White.
Driver's seat The new Toyota Supra coupe 2019-2020 is not particularly unique either. The instrument panel is digital, based on a color 8 "display, while starting from the basic configuration. Depending on the wishes of the driver, you can choose a standard instrument setting or display the necessary indicators at your discretion. wheel original, in the style of the manufacturer, the base is three spokes with function buttons. The steering wheel adjustment Toyota Supra is also included in the basic package, in height and depth.
Well, the interior design of the new Toyota Supra 2019 leaves much to be expected, since in the literal sense of the word "ripped off" BMW cars... The functional set has everything you need, in addition, there is a "digital mirror" function and voice control. Most likely, after the start of sales, there will be more information about possible accessories and interior equipment for the Toyota Supra 2019.
