Worldwide, 3 basic models are sold, which differ in detail in the equipment further. For the time being, only the 3 liter engine will be sold for the European market. The differences in features and prices for the European models can be found in the article "The new Toyota Supra A90 - Official prices and features" .

Altogether there are three engine variants for the Supra A90. These are defined as in the predecessor model A80 with the designation RZ, SZ and SZ-R.

engine variants

3.0 l B58 inline six-cylinder engine (RZ)

The 3.0-liter in-line 6-cylinder turbo engine combines power, powerful acceleration and high efficiency.
The twin-scroll turbocharger eliminates exhaust faults between the cylinders, resulting in a faster response time at low and high speeds.

With the combination of a continuously variable and variable valve control at the inlet and outlet, a much higher efficiency is achieved. The stop / start function as well as the precise direct injection system additionally achieve lower fuel consumption.

[RZ]

Displacement: 2,997 L
Power: 250 kW [340 hp] / 5,000 rpm
Torque: 500 Nm [51.0 kgf · m] / 1.600-4, 500 rpm
Acceleration: 4.3 seconds (0-100 km / h)

2.0 l B48 four-cylinder in-line engine (SZ & SZ-R)

Set 2 straight 4 motors with different tuning. The SZ-R engine delivers high power with a maximum power of 190 kW (258 hp). We realize a further optimization of the weight distribution back and forth by a light engine, which exploits the compactness only in the straight 4 and can enjoy light sport driving. The SZ has a maximum output of 145 kW (197 hp) and uses an engine that lets you feel the refreshing driving from the city to the freeway.

[SZ-R]

Displacement: 1.9898 L
Power: 190 kW [258 hp] / 5,000 rpm
Torque: 400 Nm [40.8 kgf · m] / 1, 550-4, 400 rpm
Acceleration: 5.2 seconds (0-100 km / h)

[SZ]

Displacement: 1.9898 L
Power: 145 kW [197 hp] / 4, 500 rpm
Torque: 320 Nm [32.7 kgf · m] / 1,450-4, 200 rpm
Acceleration: 6.5 seconds (0-100 km / h)

fuel consumption

Testing of fuel consumption by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

mileage

Short wheelbase for more agility
Wide profile to improve the golden ratio
Low center of gravity the GT86 even undercuts

Driving pleasure

Low weight paired with high rigidity
With the use of aluminum and steel, a weight reduction and simultaneously high rigidity of the bodywork is achieved even in the framework structure, which even exceeds that of the Lexus LFA.

Body movements are prevented, forming the basis for sporty performance and maximizing the performance of the suspension and powertrain for winding turns.

aerodynamics

The vehicle design developed by Toyota has specialized in lift coefficients and crosswind sensitivity. The weight and aerodynamics are the part sizes, which not only have a significant impact on fuel consumption, but also contribute to the overall handling of the vehicle on the track.

By optimizing the areas of the front and rear tires on the underbody not only the air resistance (which nevertheless has a share of about 26% of the total resistance of the vehicle) is improved, but also increases the contact pressure.

Active differential

Via an electronically controlled lamellar coupling, the active differential in coordination with the "Vehicle Stability Control System" regulates the locking ratio between the left and right rear wheels in a range of 0 to 100%. Actuating the accelerator pedal from the turn increases the differential locking rate and maximizes traction performance. In addition, with slight torque differences between the left and right drive wheels (eg when accelerating on slippery roads or at the exit of a turn, a rocking operation is immediately performed to eliminate the torque differences.

Rear suspension for filigree movements

The chassis of the A90 has Toyota developed together with Gazoo Racing from scratch.

McPherson double-joint spring strut axle
With the two-part lower arm on the rear axle, a better steering feel and a suppression of nasal diving when braking is achieved. The high-stiffness aluminum suspension element achieves an outstanding steering response with a weight distribution of 50:50 front / rear. It also contributes to the reduction of unsprung weight.

REAR-multi-link type
Multi-link structure with 5 arms on the rear suspension . The precise control of the movement of the rear wheels has led to better road management and stable vehicle behavior.

AVS The adaptive variable suspension systems
The MOdelle RZ and SZ-R use an AVS which optimally controls the shock absorber damping force of the four wheels according to the driving mode and the selected road conditions. This option combines the operability and running stability of the vehicle

Sequential 8-speed sports circuit

We overshadowed the image of conventional AT and optimized performance for direct, responsive and mostly comfortable driving. In contrast to the soft shifting, in which the joint does not feel in normal mode, the sport mode turns into a sporty gear program. The downshift control according to the braking G before the turn is also actively performed. In addition, you can use the rocker switch or the shift lever to achieve a responsive shift.

braking system

Lightweight brake disc and lightweight aluminum caliper reduce unsprung weight and ensure high performance. The RZ uses a red-painted Brembo 4-pod caliper (front), a large-diameter vented brake disc and a large-capacity brake pad. Ensure sufficient braking power and high heat resistance when riding a sport.

High-performance tires

The 19- and 18-inch tires use the MICHELIN PILOT SUPER SPORT tire, which is used by world-renowned high-performance cars. The combination of hardness and excellent grip maximizes the cornering of Supra

driving mode

The response of engine, transmission, steering, etc. can be chosen aggressive with the sport mode. The RZ and SZ-R models also change AVS and the control characteristics of the active differential, resulting in a more dynamic ride. In addition, it has a "traction mode" to fully stimulate driving in bends with the "Launch Control" is the best possible acceleration at start possible.

Sport mode

engine
- The response of the engine when accelerator pedal increases and the delay in removing the accelerator pedal also improves
- The sound of the exhaust system and the engine is changing

control
- The reaction of the steering is increased
- The switching times change and the speed remains higher

AVS * 1
- The shock absorption increases and the suspension characteristics are optimized for sporty driving

Active differential * 2
- Change of the control characteristics with regard to the cornering behavior when driving on racetracks

TRACTION MODE
By suppressing the control interventions of TRC * 3 and VSC * 4 and combining it with the sport mode, it becomes easy to realize the run desired by the driver while maintaining a feeling of safety on the racetrack

* 1. AVS: Adaptive variable suspension system
* 2. Used for RZ and SZ-R
* 3. TRC: traction control
* 4. VSC: Vehicle stability control
