First is the Supra 2.0 with a 4 cylinder turbo charged engine; a BMW sourced B48B20 from the JDM SZR model, previously only available in Asia and Europe.
Sourced from BMW this engine has seen wide use across their fleet since 2014 and has been shipped with up to 302hp from factory. Given it's potential and well known reliability, I look forward to seeing how this is developed in the Supra by the aftermarket.
- Twin-scroll turbocharger
- Direct injection
- Variable valve lift (Valvetronic)
- Variable valve timing (Double VANOS)
- 255 hp at 5,000-6,500 rpm

- Smaller front brake rotors than the Supra 3.0

Next in the lineup is the update of the 3.0 Variant, which has been fine tuned to further enhance the rigidity of the chassis and boost power output.
- 382 hp at 5,800-6,500 rpm
- Previously 335 hp at 5,000-6,500 rpm
- 368 lb.-ft. at 1,800-5,000
- Previously 368 lb.-ft. at 1,800-5,000
- Revised front and rear bump stops
- Lightweight aluminum braces that tie the strut towers to the radiator support to increase lateral rigidity
- New piston design reduces the engine’s compression ratio from 11:1 to 10.2:1 in order to prevent abnormal combustion due to high boost.
- Revised programming for the following components:
- Dampers
- Electric power steering
- Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS)
- Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
- Active Differential
- 0-60 acceleration time to 3.9 seconds, down from 4.1

This new exploration of the capabilities of the Mark V platform signify a renewed commitment from Toyota in the excitement of driving, a feature that was inevitably lost in the pursuit of efficiency and economy. I can't wait to see what else is in store for the Mark V Supra as it continues to evolve, ever closer to reclaiming the legendary status upheld by the Mark IV.
