Default 2020 Toyota Supra GT4 details announced, makes 429 horsepower





The 2020 Toyota Supra GT4 race car was introduced earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show, and saw its first race at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring. But only now has Toyota provided key mechanical details about the car. And the big news is that the Supra's turbocharged straight-six makes 429 horsepower.

That's an improvement of nearly 100 horsepower over the road-going car. The engine is backed by a race-ready seven-speed automatic transmission, rather than the road car's eight-speed. Power goes solely to the rear wheels through a mechanical limited-slip differential.

Being a race car, the Supra GT4 has been gutted of production car comfort and styling features. That means it weighs just 2,976 pounds, roughly 400 pounds less than the road car. Brakes are upgraded with six-piston calipers up front and four-piston units in the rear. The suspension design follows the road car with MacPherson struts at the front and multi-link independent rear suspension. Each end is fitted with KW racing shocks.

The Toyota Supra GT4 goes on sale next year. It will be available to order first in Europe in March, followed by North America in August and Asia in October. Pricing is set at 175,000 Euros, which is about $194,000 at current exchange rates.

Toyota Supra Rhd

Avid Toyota fan Mark Trueno has become the proud owner of the first GR Supra delivered in Australia, following a special presentation at the local Toyota dealership in Taringa, Brisbane.

The passionate Supra enthusiast became the first to drive away in the new model after he was selected in a randomised ballot process during the first online sales window on 19 June.

But last weekend, Mark couldn’t have been happier as he got behind the wheel of his 3.0-litre turbo GR Supra GTS finished in bright Silverstone Yellow with the optional Alcantara interior trim.

First thing I thought, too. That yellow makes the car look shockingly good.

I've had two bright-yellow cars. I have no problem driving something with that color.

Start shopping for a new helmet now, because Toyota's privateer racer GR Supra GT4 hits the U.S. next August.

Mike, lol-- I wouldn't take you for yellow cars; may I ask what they were?

Were they the yellow in the 70s?

Was your IS300 yellow?

Not criticizing at all, I like yellow, too. I wanted to paint my black 1997 Maxima SE bright yellow when I was younger.

And this Supra looks great in yellow.
