I like manual transmissions as much as the next driving enthusiast, but I didn’t miss one in the Supra because its automatic is so good. Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch automatic long has been a benchmark for shift speed, but the Supra’s conventional automatic felt just as quick on the track, making fast, firm and refined upshifts.

Even so, EPA-estimated mileage is still a respectable 24/31/26 mpg city/highway/combined on required premium gas.Īn eight-speed automatic is the only transmission offered, but it’s a good one that makes extremely quick shifts during aggressive driving. Chief Engineer Tetsuya Tada said fuel efficiency wasn’t a factor when developing the Supra, and that comes through in a few ways, from how responsive the gas pedal is in Sport mode to the way the car forcefully accelerates out of corners and down straightaways. The inline-six-cylinder’s numbers alone are compelling - 335 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 365 pounds-feet of torque from 1,600 to 4,500 rpm - but the way that power is delivered keeps the fun-factor high. The Supra’s BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter engine is exceptional. 2020 Toyota Supra | photo by Mike Hanley A Delightful Drivetrain The GR refers to Toyota’s amusingly named GAZOO Racing (capitalization theirs), but for simplicity’s sake we’ll just call it the Supra.

At Toyota’s invitation we traveled to the Washington, D.C., area to drive the new Supra on the street and at Summit Point Motorsports Park. It was further evidence of how much Toyota got right with this car, which is a thrilling new entrant in the sports car class.

With the all-new 2020 Toyota Supra, that moment came on a quiet two-lane road in West Virginia. There comes a moment in any good sports car where the specifications in your head are replaced by how it feels from the driver’s seat. 2020 Toyota Supra | photo by Mike Hanley
