Toyota Drops BMW For Next-Gen Supra, Global Debut In 2027
Toyota is all set to roll out the sixth-generation Supra in 2027. But this time, the iconic sports car will be developed entirely in-house, unlike the current A90 model which was created in partnership with BMW, as per Best Car.
The A90 Supra, which hit markets in 2019, borrowed its engine and platform from BMW's Z4. However, it proved to be a bigger hit than its German cousin. Reports say Toyota sold over 24,000 units in five years – nearly double that of the Z4.
What's Under the Bonnet?
The upcoming Supra is expected to feature a 2.0-litre turbocharged hybrid engine, built in-house by Toyota. With nearly 400 BHP and 500 Nm of torque, it promises an exciting mix of power and performance.
Toyota is also planning to make this Supra more eco-friendly. Along with petrol, the engine might support carbon-neutral fuels. The hybrid setup will include a motor generator and a clutch, allowing the car to run solely on electric power when needed.
Gearbox options haven't been confirmed yet, but Toyota could offer either a 10-speed or an 8-speed automatic transmission.
What Else is Toyota Planning?
Why Does It Matter?
When Akio Toyoda boldly said, 'Supra is back" in 2019, it was more than just a car launch. It marked the return of one of Toyota's most beloved sports cars after 17 years. With this new version, Toyota is ready to reclaim the Supra's legendary status – this time, on its own terms.
