The Toyota GR Supra (A90 generation, internal code name J29) marks the highly anticipated return of a mythical nameplate, absent since 2002. Developed in close partnership with BMW (sharing its platform, powertrains, and electronics with the BMW Z4 G29), it is assembled by Magna Steyr in Austria. Although this partnership initially sparked controversy among purists, the GR Supra has established itself as a formidable sports car, featuring an extremely rigid chassis, perfect weight distribution (50:50), and Bavarian powertrains (B48 and B58) renowned for their robustness and tuning potential. In 2022, Toyota corrected one of the main criticisms by introducing a 6-speed manual gearbox on the 3.0L version.
The Toyota GR Supra A90 is a resounding success in terms of reliability, sweeping away initial fears related to its BMW DNA. The B58 engine (3.0L) is already considered one of the best inline 6-cylinders in modern history, combining supercar performance with tank-like robustness. The 2.0L (B48) offers a lighter and equally reliable alternative for daily use. The only real flaws are ergonomic (visibility, wind buffeting with windows open). It is a highly recommended purchase, provided you prioritize a model with a clear history and, if possible, unmodified (or modified professionally).
