While purists might rock back gently on their heels and bemoan the loss of the naturally aspirated Toyota 2 997 cc 2JZ-GE engine (164 kW) or the twin turbo-charged Toyota 2JZ-GTE (206 kW) version from the previous generation Supra and the particular rasping sound they made climbing into the higher rev range compared to the flatter, lower note of the BME engine, the increased grunt at 250 kW and 500 Nm should provide compensation. The fifth generation Supra is assembled alongside the G29 BMW Z4 in Graz, Austria by Magna Steyr. Motive power comes from a BMW 3,0-litre straight six engine and the entire car was designed in conjunction with BMW around the Z4 the Munich company is offering – the latter as a soft-top sportster while Supra is a hard hat design. Toyota South Africa has launched the Z4….err, Toyota Supra in a four variant spread that also marks the first global GR model from Toyota Gazoo Racing and the fith iteration of the famous name.
