Toyota Gazoo Racing has whipped the wraps off a “partially upgraded” GR Supra, with Toyota’s motorsport arm handing the rear-wheel-driven coupé’s inline-six a boost in power and torque. However, considering the latter increases, “partially upgraded” seems a rather humble statement to make.

See, the “partially upgraded” GR Supra produces 320 kW and 570 N.m. Compared to the standard model, that’s increases of 35 kW and 70 N.m. The latter has been achieved thanks to a revised intake-air path, in addition to the adoption of a low-back-pressure catalyst (to reduce pressure loss). The result: improved response and acceleration (the company has, however, yet to release an official 0-100 km/h sprint time).

Notably, the company has also announced the GR Supra “A90 Final Edition”, a special model with a limited production run of only 300 examples. As it name would suggest, this will be the final version of the GR Supra. The special-edition model’s KW suspension setup, which features adjustable dampers, has been carried over from the GR Supra GT4 racer. The latter arrangement features 16 rebound stages and a dozen compression stages for accommodating a variety of driving conditions. Strengthened fore and aft stabilisers, rubber bushings for the front lower and control arms, are also present.

On top of these upgrades, the steering setup has been optimised, and the camber angle of the front and rear wheels has been updated for more direct steering and improved grip, respectively. In addition, the updated model’s Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres are 10% wider than the items fitted to the standard car. The updated car has also gained an Akrapovič titanium muffler.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
