Toyota Supra - Old vs. New

The 2020 Toyota Supra: A Look at its Unique Features and Technology

22 years have passed since the last iteration of the Toyota Supra, which was released back in 1998. This new model is built on the BMW platform, featuring a straight-six engine with turbo charging capabilities. The engine produces 335 horsepower, an increase of 10 horsepower from its predecessor.

One notable difference between this and previous models is the switch from Toyota's proprietary engine design to a BMW-powered unit. Despite this change, the overall design and layout of the car remain relatively similar. The interior features a driver-focused dashboard with all manner of gauges and controls at the driver's disposal.

For our test drive, we opted for a manual transmission car, which proved to be an exhilarating experience. However, it also highlighted the importance of practice when it comes to driving in this style. As we navigated the roads, we noticed that the turbocharger takes a little while to kick in, resulting in some initial hesitation.

Despite the slight lag, the Supra's performance is undeniable. The car accelerates smoothly and responds eagerly to driver input. It's clear that Toyota has put significant effort into creating a vehicle that is both fun to drive and technologically advanced.

One of the standout features of this new Supra is its attention to detail in terms of design. The ombre-effect spoiler, for example, adds a touch of style and sophistication to the car's appearance. Additionally, the interior features are designed to be driver-focused, with an emphasis on providing the user with as much information and control as possible.

The 2020 Toyota Supra is certainly a unique vehicle, and its blend of performance, technology, and design make it an attractive option for those looking for a fun driving experience. Whether you're a seasoned car enthusiast or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, this car is sure to impress.

A Side Note: The Host's Experience with the Car

During our test drive, we had the opportunity to get behind the wheel of the Supra and see how it performed in real-world conditions. Our host was excited to take the car for a spin and share their experience with us. As they put the car through its paces, they were impressed by its handling and performance.

However, things took an unexpected turn when our host's opponent, Lisa, joined them on the track. A series of events unfolded, including a coin flip and a heated discussion about who should be allowed to drive the car first. In the end, our host emerged victorious, but not without some good-natured banter with their opponent.

The Supra proved itself to be a formidable competitor, handling well and responding eagerly to driver input. Our host's skills behind the wheel were on full display as they navigated the track with confidence.

A Special Message from the Host

As our test drive came to an end, we had a chance to reflect on our experience with the 2020 Toyota Supra. The car's unique blend of performance, technology, and design made it an absolute blast to drive. We were also grateful for the opportunity to share this experience with you, our readers.

We would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to several individuals who made this article possible. First and foremost, we want to thank Jay for lending us his vehicle, which provided us with the chance to experience the Supra in all its glory. We also want to thank Toyota for their generosity and support, as well as Buy Auto Driver Seat (no one knows what that is) for allowing us to take this car out for a spin.

Finally, we would like to thank our opponent, Lisa, for joining us on the track and providing an added level of challenge and excitement to our test drive. We hope you enjoyed watching the footage of our battle as much as we did.

We are proud to be a part of the Supercar Blondie family and look forward to bringing you more exciting content in the future. Thank you for watching, and don't forget to subscribe!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enSupercop Lundy here in Dubai and we have for you the new 20 20 gr Supra it's like a call you guys right the Colts have been waiting for 20 years for this baby when it came out it had an engine that could easily be tuned to over a thousand horsepower right so there are a lot of things that you could do to this car without actually blowing the engine because this was so customizable it became hugely hugely popular and then it became more famous because it was featured in the first Fast and Furious movie and Paul Walker drove the super in that movie one of the most interesting features I think about these cards right here you have fake air intake yeah also if you're on the front this should be feeding air out of this area here but this is also fake fake and fake the reason why they've done that is because when you buy your supra a lot of people want to upgrade it after market right so by their own body kits replace body panels a lot of this stuff the owners will take off anyway they will replace it with other body panels if they were to make all of these air vents real than it would have cost more and they would have had to pass on those prices to the consumer just because I knew a lot of people wouldn't be using them anyway they'd be doing their own thing to the car just in case no I knew what you're actually driving fly still super Brad here on the back this is usually a Formula one brake light so these flashes right when they have to slow down really fast you'll see that flash but in the Supra this will go on when you switch it into reverse people going to be taking this on the track you've got a bit more space here with the double bubble roof and their helmet on the and then it kind of comes down here in the middle you've got 19-inch forged aluminium wheels what you'll notice straight away is the interior is very BMW like they have partnered with BMW for some of these features like this here the gear lever is very BMW esque this infotainment screen very BMW and there are all of these buttons BMW BMW right what I do really like about this interior is the dash I'm gonna turn her on so you can see what I'm talking about here's a start/stop button look at this there's no glass panel over the top it's quite luxurious in here got these nice leather seats the stitching oh you've got some carbon-fiber detailing now this is actually the premium version of the Supra so there's an entry-level Supra which goes for about fifty thousand dollars and then for a few thousand dollars more you get the premium edition you get 335 horsepower that's actually more horsepower than the standard Porsche Cayman in gear that simple so with this car the new super you can only get it in automatic this feels definitely like a hose more than 335 horsepower it just does and it goes it is turbocharged but he doesn't have a massive lag you do have to wait just that second before it really opens up and you feel that power but it's not like you're like oh my god what is happening and then BOOM turbo kicks in you do still get that power straightaway and then and then a second later just completely opens up look if you step on the car a little bit too much the back does kind of spin out it is a rear-wheel drive it is super easy to take off the traction control and that is not the case in many Supercuts they make it very difficult for you to do that there's a button here then you've got to push that button in for three seconds then you're going to do this it's literally in this car this one button here traction control off zero to 100 in 4.3 seconds Porsche came in just the basic model standard model 4.9 seconds 0-200 right now I we've been for a bit of a spin I'm gonna take it back to the track and a massive thank you to to buy Autodromo who has actually blocked off an hour for me to go and test this baby on the track so we're going to head back there now alright alright I see we're matching you're twinning with me thieves I heard you were doing the surpri and I brought you the real Sutra okay is that right the real super alright we're gonna compare these two are we well yeah I mean this is the one from The Fast

customizable engines in the world so if you want to get your car nice and souped-up this is the one and then just like where's yours look about the waiting look where's your wing oh yeah don't have

no so if they actually named the engine yeah that's probably what happened we rewrite our history right yes I get you on all of those points but you know I kind of like my newer cars so you've
