The dual exhaust provides the familiar throaty growl, while a sports-calibrated electric power steering allows you to make the most of every twist and turn.
Drivers who appreciate a lively performance will appreciate the double-joint-type MacPherson front suspension and the independent multi-link rear suspension.
3: Spacious Cockpit-Style Interior
A sports car should always feel like a sports car, and the Toyota GR Supra leaves no room for doubt. The Alcantara/leather-trimmed sports seats are low-slung, surrounded by a carbon fiber trim, and set in a cabin that feels intimate without being cramped. There are 38.3 inches of headspace, 42.2 inches of legroom, and 54.4 inches of shoulder room, which means even taller drivers will enjoy plenty of space.
Large knee cushions that hug the curves of the leg add to the comfort, plus the sports seating allows manual lumbar and bolster adjustment. The 3.0 Premium and 45th Anniversary Edition models include eight-way power-adjustable seats, plus memory settings.
4: Packed with Cutting-Edge Features
The Supra delivers an exciting performance, but it’s also crammed full of the very best features to make driving a pleasure. This includes cruise control, auto-tilting and auto-dimming heated exterior mirrors, directional parking lights, automatic high beam, and a rearview camera for parking.
There is also a package of outstanding safety features that includes traction control, ABS, brake assist, lane departure warning, vehicle stability control, steering assist, and a pre-collision system that includes pedestrian detection.
