This week a 2021 Toyota GR Supra was delivered, and I’ve enjoyed test driving it. This sports car has an in-line six-cylinder twin/turbo engine that produces 382 horsepower.
With rear wheel drive and an eight-speed flexible transmission, the automobile can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and from 100 mph in 9.5 seconds. Its pricing and performance are comparable to those of the Chevy Corvette, Porsche, and BMW models.
The final assembly is done in a car plant in Graz, Austria, which also makes the BMW Z4. The Supra has been meticulously restored by Japanese experts and their racing crew using careful engineering, design, and research. The test vehicle had a bigger engine, but the Supra can also be had with a four-cylinder engine that offers somewhat better fuel economy but significantly less performance. Throughout the week, the test vehicle averaged 27.5 mpg.
There are six various color options, and I would choose to get a different hue instead of the “Nitro-Yellow.” With a manufacturer-suggested retail price of $57,185, the premium 3.0 test model included all the unique amenities and was priced at a starting point for such a magnificent sports car in the mid $40,500 level. The new 2022 models are currently entering the market, possibly with price changes.
The automobile boasts a high roof line, sumptuous leather seats, and a luxurious interior. Clear XM performance and simple dial station selections are provided by the JBL 12 speaker sound system.
Supra travels on forged aluminum 10-spoke wheels measuring 19 inches, wrapped in Michelin Pilot super sports tires. Front and rear heavy-duty piston Brembo braking systems with red calipers are installed. This vehicle has a quick start and quick stop.
The storage space behind the two front seats in the trunk is somewhat little. A cabin button release is used to manually open and close the trunk.
The Toyota Safety Sense program, which the Supra boasts, contains a number of safety features like pre-collision and pedestrian warnings.
The lane departure alert, which pulls back if the vehicle crosses a highway lane marking, is one feature.
The windshield speed restriction notifications are appreciated when driving a car that can gain speed in a matter of seconds.
Overall, the car starts to become really outstanding as you get used to the low frame ride compared to all the high riding SUVs, especially on the E-470 freeways. With no turbo delay and extremely rapid acceleration, the turbo engine and eight-speed transmission operate flawlessly. There isn’t much need for steering wheel paddle shifting because the car shifts gears automatically. Although it is not really necessary, the Supra does feature a sports mode preset that provides even more acceleration.
It is particularly appreciated that the car drives smoothly and quietly and has excellent suspension and steering. However, when the gas pedal is depressed and the turbochargers kick in, the car can whiplash you into the luxurious headrest seat, and the tuned exhaust system makes an odd noise.
The car can easily go over the speed limit with just a light depress of the gas pedal. Knowing that Jaguar speed is just a toe-tap away makes the driver feel a certain kind of satisfaction.
This GT Supra 3.0 might be your ticket to an exhilarating journey if you’re looking for a stylish, high-performance sports car at an affordable price.

What is the price of a 2JZ Supra?
Since the Mk4 Supra was released in 1993, its value has increased significantly as a result of its high regard among sports racers, auto enthusiasts, gearheads, and collectors. Although the Supra’s base price at launch was $34,000 and its turbo variant costs $39,000, Garage Dreams claims that as of 2019, neither price is lower than $70,000.
Toyota Supra Powertrain Specs
The 2.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine that powers the Toyota GR Supra generates 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission, and the vehicle’s standard rear-wheel-drive system transmits power to the rear wheels. The 3.0 variants have an improved powertrain with a 3.0-liter Twin-Scroll turbocharged inline-six cylinder engine that propels the GR Supra with 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. Rear-wheel drive transmits the power from this engine through an eight-speed automatic transmission to the vehicle’s rear wheels.
Supra 3.0 Twin Turbo, is it?
The Supra is the fastest Toyota-branded production car to date thanks to an optional 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbo six-cylinder engine that generates 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque and is mated to a quick-shifting 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters for optimum thrills.
A 1998 Toyota Supra Twin Turbo is how much?
For years or even decades after their initial purchase, Toyotas have a reputation for maintaining their value. The Toyota Supra, on the other hand, is an example of a vehicle that is now worth more than it did when it was first introduced.
There are a few factors that might be blamed for this price increase, but supply and demand are likely the most important. You can find out what we mean by searching for “1998 Toyota Supras for sale” on Google. Everyone appears to desire one, but they are exceedingly hard to find. Over the past few years, this has increased the price of a car that was already valued.
The 1998 Toyota Supra’s initial MSRP ranged from $31,000 to just over $40,000. Depending on whether you chose the ordinary automatic, sport roof automatic, sport roof turbo automatic, or sport roof turbo manual, there was a pricing difference.
The cheapest price we could find for a 1998 Toyota Supra is now almost twice as much as it cost new. However, the price becomes somewhat more reasonable when you account for inflation.
The cost will vary depending on factors like mileage and the amount of money put into the car, much like when buying a used car. You might anticipate paying anywhere between $65,000 and perhaps a little over $100,000 if you’re interested in purchasing this now-classic Toyota vehicle.
Although this price may seem excessive for a vehicle that has been in production for more than two decades, the 1998 Supra is more than worth the asking price, as we’ll discuss in more detail below.
Which Supra is the cheapest?

Is the Supra 3.0 Twin-Turbo for 2021?
There are two potent engines available for the Toyota Supra in 2021. Rear-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters are mated to both engines. A 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder Twin-Scroll Single-Turbo engine is the first one. Between 5,000 to 6,5000 RPM, this engine can generate up to 255 horsepower, and at 1,550 to 4,400 RPM, it can generate 295 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Supra can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 5.0 seconds and have a top track speed of 155 mph.

A 3.0 liter Twin-Scroll Single-Turbo DOHC 24-valve inline six-cylinder engine is the other option. At 5,800 to 6,500 RPM, this engine can produce up to 382 horsepower, and at 1,800 to 5,000 RPM, it can produce 368 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, the Supra can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in around 3.9 seconds and have a peak speed of 155 mpg. This engine has a combined fuel efficiency rating of 25, 30 on the highway, and 22 in the city.

The 2.0 engine can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than five seconds and has a top speed of 155 mph. The 2022 GR Supra’s exceptional driving characteristics are aided by an eight-speed automated transmission system that drives the rear wheels.

The 2022 GR Supra models’ 3.0-liter engines can go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
Are Supras uncommon?
The Toyota Supra has been making news more frequently recently despite being off the market in the United States for 20 years. And for good reason: Toyota has spent the last five years igniting enthusiasts’ fervor for its future fifth-generation model, which will be unveiled at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show and will go on sale in 2019. In addition, collectors are starting to drive up prices on clean versions from the 1990s.
The Supra, often thought of as little more than a Celica coupe with more power, has recently found itself in the spotlight, and not in a good manner.
Generation Xers, millennials, and die-hard fans who grew up idolizing the automobile, in particular, have fallen in love with Toyota’s fourth-generation A80 Supra, which was produced from 1993 to 1998.
Here is a glance at the present activities of the tenacious Supra as well as a glimpse at its history.
Toyota Supra Sells for $121K
A 1994 Toyota Supra manual twin-turbo that was in brand-new, factory-condition, recently for an astounding $121,000 at auction. Although that price is unlikely to become the standard, it does firmly establish the Supra as a six-figure car. Why then did this specific Supra command such a premium price?
For starters, it’s a vintage collectible that still contains all of its original parts. This Supra has all the original equipment, right down to the cassette tape/CD player, including the distinctive rear spoiler, its original aluminum alloy wheels and Bridgestone Potenza tires, and the mint tan leather seats. Additionally, it has only 7,000 kilometers on it, which is unusual for a car this old. The car’s rarity is increased by the fact that it was also unmodified; Supras from this generation were frequently modified and customized, making the unaltered versions difficult to find.
The 3.0-liter, twin-turbocharged inline-six engine with 320 horsepower and 315 pound-feet of torque in this Supra, along with a six-speed manual transmission, make up its very desirable drivetrain configuration. This Supra also has nostalgically appealing styling. The majority of cars in this generation came with a less powerful base inline six-cylinder engine and either a four-speed automatic transmission or a five-speed manual transmission.
The high price is just a result of supply and demand, to sum up. For an unique vehicle like this one, there is a long runway of development potential, even though $121,000 sounds like a lot to pay for a car. Younger collectors who admire these models will eventually have larger money for the ideal automobile they dreamed of as children, while Supras as spotless as this one will only become more rare. Prices can rise significantly when there is a large supply gap and a high demand.
The Supra is Back for 2020
For the first time since the last Toyota Supra was marketed in the United States in 1998, the Supra made a reappearance. A fifth-generation Supra, the A90, was debuted at the 2019 North American International Auto Show (NAIAS), which took place in Detroit from January 14 to 27. The A90 was mostly developed by BMW and uses a BMW motor and many other components from the new Z4. Since this is the first new Supra to be sold in well over 20 years, excitement is understandably strong.
It has an inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine with 335 horsepower, a rear-wheel drive system, and an eight-speed automated transmission. It promotes aerodynamic balance with a low center of gravity and a 50-50 weight distribution. The 2020 Supra will be offered in two grades, 3.0 and 3.0 Premium, as well as a “Launch Edition,” and will be on sale in the summer of 2019. Renaissance Red 2.0, Nitro Yellow, and Downshift Blue will all be colors.
