The Toyota Supra has been setting the standard for sports coupes since its launch in 1978, and the latest 2022 GR Supra is the most powerful and exciting model yet.
Designed and built with track exploits in mind, the GR Supra is nonetheless a vehicle that’s perfectly at home on the city streets, with its eye-catching outline and searing power creating an experience that’s a cut above the ordinary. Here are the key highlights you could enjoy by testing out this race-inspired vehicle.
Show-Stopping Design
There’s no doubt that the GR Supra is built to turn heads wherever it goes. The aggressive tone is set by the low front grille and outsize air intakes, with six-lens LED headlights slanting backward to complete the sleek front end. The two-seater cabin sits under a double-bubble roof that enhances the classic sports feel, while the integrated rear spoiler creates high downforce as well as giving the rear a distinctive, moulded look.
Race-Winning Performance
But the GR Supra’s sports appeal is about much more than an attention-grabbing exterior. The powertrain is built around a 3.0L six-cylinder engine pushing out a mammoth 382 horsepower and 369lb-ft of torque to create genuinely track-ready performance. The power is fed through an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters for fine-tuned control, reaching the pavement through rear-wheel drive in resolutely old-school racing tradition.
The result is a searing level of performance, with a 0-96km/h acceleration time of just 3.9 seconds, a top speed of 250km/h, and handling that’s as exhilarating as it is controlled.
Enhanced Performance Technologies
The 2022 GR Supra also boasts a set of technologies which put the huge power to excellent use, whether you’re coasting on the open highway or testing your driving skills at the track. – An active differential electronically controls the rear-wheel torque to maximize cornering traction, meaning you can take turns at higher speeds with greater control – Adaptive suspension automatically stiffens or loosens the individual shocks, balancing ride comfort and performance over any kind of surface – Reinforced front struts provide greater rigidity and control when pushing the GR Supra to the edge – Premium Brembo brakes give reliable, fast stopping power to match the Supra’s high speeds
Put all these features together, and the GR Supra delivers a genuinely thrilling sports-oriented drive while still providing all the comfort and smoothness you expect from a modern high-end vehicle.
Interior and Technology
The high quality of design continues into the GR Supra’s interior. Moulded seats and a wraparound centre console give the feel of a single-seat racing car, while features including leather upholstery on the heated and ventilated seats push the comfort levels firmly upscale.
Infotainment is accessed through an 8.8″ touchscreen display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Siri compatibility allowing voice control of the major functions. A digital instrument cluster nestles behind the wheel to provide essential driving information, supported by a head-up display which projects the same data directly onto the windshield.
To complete the high-end interior feel, a 12-speaker premium JBL audio system is available to fill the cabin with 425W of audiophile-quality sound, with sources including satellite radio, Bluetooth streaming, and a USB audio input.
But while the interior offers a truly high-end experience, it’s the sports-inspired performance and design that sets the 2022 GR Supra apart from the competition. If you’re interested in experiencing it for yourself, please book a test drive by clicking on the button below.
