Another legend in the making.
The final A80-generation Supra’s ascension to legend status—years after production ended—spurred Toyota to resurrect the name on an all-new model for 2020. Could today’s Supra be on track to become one for the ages? It’s looking that way.
That the latest Supra is making its third appearance on our 10Best cars list isn’t just happenstance. For one thing, Toyota continues to hone the Supra, which now is the halo model for a range of GR-branded performance cars. For 2021, Toyota added a turbo-four engine option that dropped the price of entry. That same year also saw a boost in the inline-six’s output to 382 horsepower, putting it on par with its BMW sibling, the Z4. The car has also been treated to chassis refinements that deliver more linear steering, better body control, and less tail-happy cornering. Oh, and there’s upgraded in-cabin tech. For 2023, however, Toyota is offering the item that was at the top of our wish list: a six-speed manual transmission. And the stick shift is the best gift Toyota could have given the Supra—and its fans.
