2023 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium

FInally! Toyota has added a slick 6-speed manual to its racy and sexy Supra. The shift is on!

Power, looks and now even a manual shifter … Oh what a feeling! That’s what Toyota used to crow about its cars, but let’s be honest, the feel great cars are usually just that, cars with a sporty nature. I mean a pickup or SUV is a conveyance, a sport car is an attitude. Toyota’s latest GR Supra 3.0 Premium certainly has a tude. Starts with that sexy rounded bodywork, especially its rear…

When James Bond star Daniel Craig was asked what his favourite Bond car was, the answer was a bit surprising as it was from a film made many years before his time as 007. It was the Toyota 2000GT that starred in the 1967 film 'You Only Live Twice'. Its the one where Sean Connery is disguised as a Japanese citizen despite being about a 18" inches taller than anyone else...

Apparently James Bond was a very big deal in Japan and Toyota were very keen to allow the makers to use one of their cars and the 2000GT was chosen and 2 coupes were supplied.

However the first problem was that Sean Connery was simply too tall so Toyota went off and made two convertibles which also made filming inside the tight car a touch easier. they were the only two roadsters ever made.

Next problem was also slightly daft: the actress who played Bond's lady friend, Akiko ‘Aki’ Wakabayashi, couldn't actually drive so in the end Toyota had to supply a couple of their own drivers to operate pedals and gears.

Toyota and Sony kitted the car out with typical futuristic Bond gadgets such as CCTV, a VCR, cameras behind the front number plate, two-way radios, voice-controlled tape recorder and an audio system.

I think three of the four cars used still exist; one was reputedly crashed and written off though there were rumours that it had been sold on anyway.
