Fsupra will soon go into production and will provide Fsupra owners with more financial savings in 2018.
Since its introduction, Toyota’s Supra has only ever been offered as a manual-only car, which is unfortunate given how enjoyable and satisfying its driving is. Although automatic variants offer ample satisfaction when shifting at redline, many drivers enjoy having more control over shift patterns when reaching redline. We hope Toyota reads this and considers offering optional six-speed manual models again!
The fourth and supposedly final generation (A80) debuted in 1992 and was sold through 2002, being discontinued due to declining sport coupe sales in North America and an ever-stronger yen pushing prices higher. This two-seater was equipped with both manual transmission and turbocharging inline six engine.
I found this fast and enjoyable car to be both fast and fun, making me want to hit some long winding backroads and hit those incredible sweepers. While the cabin may feel tight for space in classic sports coupe style, with its narrow door frame and large blind spot in its rear-view mirror, overall this was an accommodating place to travel around in.
Straight-line performance is equally impressive: 0-60 is accomplished in less than four seconds and never feels sluggish, especially because Toyota’s standard eight-speed automatic can keep up with it as quickly as its manual counterpart. Toyota also refined handling and suspension tuning for 2023 models; 3.0 Premium and A91-MT versions now feature an exclusive Hairpin+ function which claims to optimize engine torque control to improve wheel spin between left and right tires on tight bends.
