It felt like this day would never come, but today Toyota officially pulled the wraps off of the all-new 2020 Supra at Detroit’s North American International Auto Show. After an endless stream of leaked images and Toyota’s own videos featuring pre-production “concept” renders, the Supra’s looks shouldn’t be a surprise at all. Today’s unveiling is all about the numbers, and it seems like Toyota is picking up right where it left off in 2002.
The 2020 Toyota Supra will go on sale this summer and start at a base price of $49,990; you’ll pay $53,990 for the premium model. Regardless of the trim level, you get the same 3.0-liter inline-six good for 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque. The Supra also gets an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. Sadly there’s no manual transmission option to pair with the engine, but in this day and age, it’s not surprising. Toyota claims the transmission will help the Supra achieve a 0-60 mph sprint of 4.3 seconds.
Seeing Toyota get back into the sports car game is a breath of fresh air. The Japanese manufacturer is working hard to reestablish its brand identity as a fun car company again, and not just one that pumps out milquetoast front-wheel-drive sedans destined for rental car lots.
Much like how Toyota worked with Subaru to joint-develop the BRZ and 86 (née GT86), Toyota worked with BMW to “share” the Supra; this time the DNA crosses over to the BMW Z4 coupe. But while the BRZ and GT 86 are nearly identical in every way, Toyota made sure the Supra has a personality of its own. The Supra comes in about $10,000 less than the base Z4, but since the entry-level roadster only has a 2.0-liter inline-four under the hood, the Supra has the upper hand.
