When you want a Toyota that can go fast –really fast–, the GR Supra is the model you want. Now part of the company’s Gazoo Racing (GR) motorsport/performance brand, the Toyota GR Supra is a sports car that delivers race car performance on the road.
But how fast can a Toyota Supra go? Are some Supras faster than others?
The top speed of the Toyota Supra can vary according to factors like its model year, engine, and transmission. It also has a governor that imposes a maximum limit on its speed.
Heralding the start of the fifth generation, the 2020 Toyota Supra is powered by a 3.0 liter, 6-cylinder engine that produces 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque. With a BMW-designed 8-speed automatic transmission, it can go 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds.
The 2021 Toyota Supra comes in several versions. But the baseline Supra with a 2.0 liter, 4-cylinder engine has a top speed of 155 mph and goes from 0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds. It accelerates slower than the 2020 Supra because of its engine, which trades horsepower for fuel economy.
The top speed of the 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0, 3.0 Premium, and A91 Edition remain the same: 155 mph. However, their 0-60 time improves to 3.7 seconds thanks to their more powerful 6-cylinder engine.
Since the first 5th generation Toyota Supra rolled out of the factory in 2019, fans have asked for a version with manual transmission. In 2022, Toyota answered their prayer by presenting a Supra with an 8-speed manual transmission.
Powered by a 6-cylinder engine, the 2022 Toyota Supra can hit up to 160 mph, five miles faster than earlier model years. It can go from 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds, a hair faster than earlier variants.
The Toyota Supra is a sports car and grand tourer. Toyota got its name from the latin prefix supra, which translates to “to surpass” in English. It is a halo car, a vehicle designed to show off the company’s technology.
The very first Toyota Supra debuted in 1978. It resembled the earlier Toyota Celica but used a 6-cylinder engine with an inline-6 layout like the Toyota 2000GT. By 1986, the Supra gained its own identity as a sleek and fast sports car.
Toyota stopped selling the fourth generation Supra in the United States in 1998. Four years later, sales of the Supra in the rest of the world also came to an end.
The Supra name lay unused until 2019, when Toyota partnered with BMW to develop a fifth generation. Officially called the J29/DB Toyota Supra, the resurrected model shared many parts with the BMW Z4 (G29). So if you ever wanted to drive a BMW but liked the Toyota brand, the Supra meets both requirements.
