The hotly anticipated 2020 Toyota Supra has finally been unveiled and tested, to the delight of its huge fanbase. Always a favorite, the 2020 model hits the market with plenty of modern upgrades to both its style and performance that solidify its position as a bold sports car.
Power and Performance
The Supra is equipped with a 335-horsepower, 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six that produces 365 pound-feet of torque. The engine is outfitted with smart technologies such as a twin-scroll turbocharger, variable valve timing, and an electric wastegate that ensure accessible power, instantaneous responses, and a throaty exhaust note. The engine pairs to an eight-speed transmission that’s lightweight and strong enough to channel the engine’s considerable power and deliver it at precisely the right moment.
For the maximum in performance and handling, the Supra comes with an electronically controlled rear differential that uses sensors to monitor wheel speed, engine rpm, brake pressure, throttle-open angle, yaw rate, and other data to increase or decrease engine power to the wheel that needs it most. It has a normal drive mode which provides smooth and easy handling for daily driving situations; and a sports drive mode for sharp responses and bold handling, giving a more exhilarating driving experience.
Design
Staying true to its performance and track-ready character, the Supra received a design upgrade that’s both bold and alluring. The silhouette boasts generous curves and daring shapes that come together in an aerodynamic package. The rear fascia holds a rear diffuser, twin 90-millimeter exhaust tips, and a race-inspired light cluster, and the double-bubble roof provides maximum headroom inside with optimal airflow and drag reduction outside.
To match the Supra’s eye-catching exterior, the cockpit was upgraded with an ideal blend of form and function. Deeply bolstered, supportive seats work with side-knee padding for both comfort and stability on the road, while leather trim and two-slate heating features keep the ride as cushiony and luxurious as possible. For practicality, the trunk offers 10 cubic feet of storage space, which is enough for luggage or track gear, along with premium speakers to enhance the sound without compromising space and comfort.
Features
The Supra comes with an 8.8-inch high-resolution display within a gauge pod. Centered around a 3D tachometer that monitors engine speed, gear selection, and driving suggestions, the customizable side gauges can show speed, entertainment selections, key driving information, navigation, and more. There’s also a command dial with a touch-sensitive surface that accommodates handwriting for navigation and smartphone-like zoom features, as well as physical dials.
The Supra offers Apple CarPlay compatibility, which allows you to connect your iPhone to the vehicle’s onboard system for making and receiving calls or text messages, getting directions, and streaming music. You’ll also find an integrated navigation feature with turn-by-turn directions on the high-resolution touch screen, digital gauge cluster, or head-up display. The cabin can be equipped with a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad with a non-slip surface for quick and convenient charging.
The bottom line: drop what you’re doing, and head over to Priority Toyota Chesapeake to check out this amazing ride that fans have been clamoring for, the Toyota Supra.
