The Toyota Supra has made its long-awaited return for the 2020 model year. It was created as a result of a partnership between Toyota and BMW and shares many of its components with the new BMW Z4. Also, unlike previous Supra models, the fifth-gen Supra is assembled in Austria alongside the current BMW Z4. Powering the new Supra is a BMW 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six producing 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic. It travels from 0 to 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and has a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph. The "GR" in its name stands for Gazoo Racing, one of Toyota's in-house tuners. The 2020 Supra is available in base, Premium, and Launch Edition trims. Although its infotainment system is directly from BMW, Toyota hides any evidence of that very well. Pricing for the revived Supra starts at just under $50,000. It should be no surprise that at this year's SEMA show, several modified Mk 5 Supras were displayed for the first time. I have always been a fan of the Toyota Supra, and the latest one definitely excites me. It may not be my absolute favorite sports car, but it is by far the best and coolest Toyota available today.
