Toyota 86 2021 Details, Specs, Release Date – There is absolutely no established phrase about the drivetrain, but we may be amazed in case the brand-new Toyobaru coupes never arrive regular with back end-tire push as well as a guide transmission.

This may most likely suggest they’ll drive upon the latest version from the recent design, despite the fact that it’s achievable that they can migrate…

Toyota GR Yaris: The Ultimate Pocket Rocket

Rally racing is one of the most intense and dangerous forms of motorsport out there. Breakneck speeds on cliff-side dirt roads, a co-driver yelling directions over the deafening roar of a straight pipe exhaust and unpredictable road and weather conditions are all potential walls to remaining focused and retaining control of the vehicle. Everything needs to be executed immaculately. All in what is essentially a modified street car. It is a true test of pure driver skill and driver/co-driver teamwork.

Official rally events have a strict set of rules and regulations to ensure a fair competition. One of the universal requirements is that the competing vehicle is based on a production street car in the real world with at least 25,000 built units. Frequently rally-converted cars include the Ford Focus/Fiesta, Subaru WRX and Volkswagen Golf/Polo. This is where the 2021 GR Yaris comes into the picture. It is a high-performance hot hatch, designed to be the perfect platform for rally racing. The end goal for Toyota is to have a new vehicle to compete with in the World Rally Championship, by converting a GR Yaris into WRC (world rally car) specification, thus replacing the current Yaris WRC. To do so, Toyota first needs to build and sell the GR Yaris to the public as a street car.

Performance

GR, which stands for Gazoo Racing, is Toyota’s in-house performance division. While most offerings from Gazoo Racing are essentially modified versions of currently existing models, enhanced with various performance parts to improve the driving experience, the GR Yaris is a different car from a standard Yaris at the core. Its chassis is a hybrid between that of a regular Yaris (as sold in Europe, Japan and Australia- not the re-badged Mazda 2 “Yaris” sold in the US) and of a Corolla/C-HR. This new platform features more weld points and structural adhesive, rendering the GR Yaris as more than your average performance-enhanced hatchback. 

GR Yaris racing through sand and gravel

Aside from a new chassis, the GR Yaris is longer, wider, lower and more lightweight than a standard Yaris. And then there’s the engine. Under the hood is now officially the world’s most powerful three cylinder engine: a turbo 1.6 liter that makes up to 257 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque. Linked to the engine is a standard six-speed manual transmission, and an advanced 4WD system that can modulate torque delivery between the front and rear half of the car. It can be front-wheel-biased, 50/50 balanced, or rear-wheel-biased. All depends on the type of thrill you are seeking in the moment. An optional Circuit Pack adds performance suspension, big brake rotors and calipers, lightweight wheels and high-grip tires to compliment the power and structural rigidity.

Test Drive Impressions

Test drivers at Top Gear took the GR Yaris out for a spin, and had nothing but praise for its driving dynamics: “It’s a short, broad, stiff car. The heavily strengthened bodyshell means zero creaks and rattles and gives the suspension a rigid central core to work from. The GR Yaris doesn’t feel anything like a standard Yaris when you get in. It feels robust... small and light. With punchy dynamics and a gutsy motor, it’s a deeply compelling machine... an addictive experience. The best Toyota we’ve ever driven.” 

Motor Trend also had the chance to experience the GR Yaris, and the drivers there were left with a positive impression as well: “The GR Yaris feels like a car developed by race engineers. The brakes are superb, the steering is accurate and well weighted. But what’s most impressive is how smoothly the GR Yaris gets into corners… and how concisely it tracks through them. You can go to power much earlier than in any of its front- or even all-wheel-drive rivals and let the differentials do their thing. Just steer where you want to go, and the GR Yaris will go there. There isn't a hot hatch on the planet that gets out of corners as quickly and confidently as this Toyota.” 

Design

The exterior design looks very aggressive. Inward slanted headlights and a big rectangular grille make for an angry face that would certainly catch attention on the road. The fenders are nicely pronounced, with the two door configuration helping make way for beautifully wide rear fenders, effectively giving it a widebody look. The hood has a bulge in the middle, further accentuating it as a performance car. Overall, the GR Yaris looks like a proper performance hatchback, shamelessly boasting its motorsport roots.

The interior is simple, to-the-point, and driver-focused. A well-bolstered leather steering wheel, round leather gear-shift knob, physical e-brake, aluminum pedals, suede bucket seats and a simple, distraction-free dashboard all make for an interior that looks ready to provide for the hooning needs of a car enthusiast.

Conclusion

From the experiences of the test drivers at Top Gear and Motor Trend, one thing is clear: The GR Yaris is a genuine thrill machine. It can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 5.5 seconds and has a top speed of 143 mph, which are decent performance numbers, but the numbers don’t matter so much with a car like this. What matters most is the feeling of the driving experience. With a small, compact performance hatchback, you usually get a well-controlled, agile and responsive ride that feels faster than it actually is. The GR Yaris, with it being a proper hot hatch, is built to induce a total adrenaline rush, and according to the drivers at Motor Trend, it “feels quicker” than its actual acceleration and top speed. They explain this as “a function of size… you simply don't expect a car smaller than a Corolla to deliver the neck-snapping launch and determined acceleration of the GR Yaris.”

Unfortunately, the GR Yaris will not be sold in the US, but the 86 and Supra are both available, and are heart-pounding enthusiast’s cars as well. When converted from British Pounds, the starting price is around $40,000 and the Circuit Pack model is around $45,000.

With its rally roots, the GR Yaris has a robust structure that is capable of traversing at speed both on and off-road. The world is for the taking in Toyota’s new hot hatch.

2021 Toyota GR Supra 2.0 review: More than enough, but something's missing

2021 Toyota GR Supra 2.0 review: More than enough, but something's missing

A four-cylinder engine joins the Supra range for 2021 and it’s a good ‘un!

Craig Cole/Roadshow

After a couple hours in the 2021 Toyota GR Supra 2.0 I thought to myself, “We waited two decades for this, a reskinned BMW Z4 with a fixed roof?” Don’t get me wrong, this new, entry-level, four-cylinder Supra is stylish, sharp and plenty swift, but it still lacks a certain magic, that somethin’-somethin’ that compels you to take a late-night drive to get some milk even though there’s still plenty in the fridge.

Where’s the magic?

Mazda’s pint-sized Miata has exactly this enchanted feel; its spellbinding dynamics harmonize with your soul. Something like a Ford Shelby GT350 with its bellowing V8 can provide similar feels, albeit on a much larger, louder scale. But the Supra gives me no such tingles. I feel no more connected to it than I do to my work laptop. Both are purposeful and highly responsive, but I’m in love with neither.

This sentiment was completely unexpected because the Supra does the sports-car thing well, Bavarian underpinnings and all. The car’s ride is properly pounding, any suppleness traded in for exemplary body control and zero roll through corners. The Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, which are gummier than hot tar and envelop a set of stylish 18-inch wheels, provide seemingly inexhaustible grip. This machine’s hefty steering is immediate and exacting. Despite being slightly smaller than what’s fitted to its six-cylinder sibling, the GR Supra 2.0’s brakes are potent and progressive, with a nice, firm pedal feel. But despite ticking all these boxes, something’s still missing, and I can’t quite put my finger on it.

See all photos

That isn’t to say the Supra isn’t objectively impressive. The Supra’s 2.0-liter engine option is new for 2021. Borrowed from BMW, this four-cylinder turbocharged unit is superb, both snappy and smooth, cranking out 255 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. Those figures pale in comparison to the heat six-cylinder Supras pack, but this car still absolutely rips, shooting from 0 to 60 mph in 5 seconds flat (the 2021 Supra 3.0 can do the deed in as little as 3.9 seconds). The engine is linear in its power delivery and extremely refined. Honestly, there’s no need for a higher-end Supra — the performance this base model provides is shockingly good.

An eight-speed automatic transmission helps keep that engine roiling. Quick and crisp, it’s a willing accomplice when driving delinquency is demanded, though it’s still no substitute for a manual. At least for now, a row-your-own gearbox is not offered in any version of the Supra, and perhaps that’s partly why the car leaves me feeling less than enraptured. But hey, at least the automatic helps reduce consumption. According to the EPA, my tester delivers 28 miles per gallon combined, a figure derived from its city score of 25 mpg and its highway rating of 32 mpg. In the real world, however, I obliterated those figures, averaging more than 36 mpg after an extended drive, a performance that underscores this powertrain’s all-around excellence. 

This car’s styling is undeniably attractive.

Craig Cole/Roadshow

Yes, I love the Supra’s giddy-up, but I’ve also fallen for its design. The car’s handsome proportions, nose-to-the-ground front end and perky backside make it look like nothing else on the road, especially when dressed in Nitro Yellow. That double-bubble roof is oh-so-cool, and those broad hips draw your eye with every glance in the side-view mirror. Despite the curvaceous metalwork, this machine isn’t particularly wide, or large in any dimension for that matter. It’s longer than a Miata and shorter than a Mustang, slotting neatly between those two competitors. This car is also something of a ‘tweener in Toyota’s lineup, a stepping stone between the affordable 86 sports car and the more potent Supra 3.0. 

I find my tester’s leather-and-Alcantara-covered seats comfortable, offering plenty of support thanks to the firm padding, though the bolstering may be too aggressive for some. Manually adjustable unlike in higher-end models, the chairs’ various levers and ratchets make it easy to find a good driving position, though no amount of tweaking will improve the rear sightlines. Those massive roof pillars that help give this car such sexy styling are also great at obliterating visibility. The small backlight is no help, either. Making matters worse, blind-spot monitoring and other useful features, such as rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control and parking sensors, aren’t standard. Instead, they’re bundled in the $3,485 safety and technology package.

As for other features, the Supra Command infotainment system is like forgotten leftovers: starting to stink. Basically an older version of BMW iDrive, it comes with an 8.8-inch display and a convoluted interface. It’s not particularly easy to navigate, though you can operate it with control buttons on the center console or via the touchscreen, which is nice. Embedded navigation is also included with that safety and tech package, as is wireless Apple CarPlay. Android Auto isn’t offered, so sad trombone if you’re a fan of The Google. Another downside is that this Toyota won’t be updated to iDrive 7, BMW’s latest and greatest infotainment system, even though its sibling, the Z4, already has it. Yeah, I’m as confused about this decision as you are, but so it goes.

Does this interior look German to you?

Craig Cole/Roadshow

Technological curiosities aside, the rest of the Supra’s cabin is a nice place to be. There’s plenty of soft plastic, which has a dense, high-quality feel and an attractive pattern. For better or worse, the climate controls and other switches are borrowed from BMW. Aside from the Nokia brick-phone electronic shifter and cheesy-looking gauges, everything meshes quite nicely. As you might expect, the Supra is not a particularly versatile car. In-cabin storage is scarce, limited to a small cubby on the center tunnel, another bin ahead of the gear selector and tiny door pockets. The trunk is also petite, though it should be spacious enough to carry luggage for two people.

Compared to six-cylinder models, the Supra 2.0 is down on power and torque, it also has smaller brakes, no strut-tower-to-radiator-support reinforcements, fixed rather than adaptive dampers and a standard differential. On the plus side, it’s also about 219 pounds lighter and, most importantly, way more affordable — like, a whopping eight grand cheaper. Out the door, my tester checks out for $47,895, a figure that includes the $3,485 safety and tech package, a $425 paint job and $995 in delivery fees. In comparison, the Supra 3.0 starts at 52 big ones and goes up from there.

Of all the Japanese sports cars available today that are engineered by Bavarians and assembled in Austria by a third-party manufacturer, the Toyota Supra is hands down my favorite. But all jokes aside, even in base, four-cylinder guise it offers potent acceleration and crisp dynamics. But after extensive time behind the wheel, I think I’d still rather have a Mazda Miata or even a Mustang EcoBoost with the high-performance package. Toyota’s Supra does many things right, but it somehow leaves me completely whelmed, neither over nor under.

Why the 2021 Toyota Supra Still Doesn’t Have a Manual Transmission

Supra enthusiasts waited decades to see the iconic sports car make its return, and when the Toyota Supra finally returned to North American shores for the 2020 model year, it had the requisite inline-six under the hood. That fact, of course, was made possible with the partnership with BMW that also produced the 2020 Z4. But the only transmission was an eight-speed automatic, and as Toyota has now introduced the 2021 Supra for the car’s second model year, that’s still the case. And yet cries for an available manual transmission have not subsided.

It was not unreasonable to ask if it was coming for the 2021 model, which received big changes across the board. For starters, the turbocharged I-6 in the GR Supra 3.0 generates 47 more horsepower, bringing its specs to 382 hp and 368 lb-ft. And then there’s the fact that the U.S. will get a four-cylinder version for the first time in the form of a 2.0-liter unit generating 255 hp and 295 lb-ft.

Both engines are paired to the same eight-speed automatic. On purpose. Supra chief engineer Tetsuya Tada has tested Supras with a manual but decided not to go there for a couple reasons. One, we’re told, is that Toyota considers the automatic to be an excellent transmission that turns in faster times in the hands of a professional driver. The automatic can also handle a lot of torque, and Toyota knows a lot of tuners will raise the boost—and therefore the stress—on the transmission. In past Supras, people were blowing up transmissions and Tada said he wanted to prevent that with the new car. But one of the main reasons Tada has no current plans to put a manual in the Supra is to better differentiate it from the Toyota 86, a car for which he also served as chief engineer. There will be a second-generation of the 86—Tada wouldn’t provide exact timing—and it will have a manual, he told MotorTrend in an interview at the Daytona 500.

That being said, Tada said he knows people keep asking for a manual in the Supra and in time, after customers have driven the Supra with the automatic, if they are still clamoring for a manual, he will consider it. “It is not out of the question to see an update like that.”

Sports cars historically have hot-and-cold lifecycles that sees pent-up demand drive sales initially, but that can wane quickly. Tada said he will continue to inject excitement into the Supra lineup with special editions and continued engineering to enhance the lineup and keep it fresh. Does that include a targa top? It would seem to be one of the easier things to do from an engineering standpoint, but Tada does not see the value. He reasons that after owners remove the top a few times and see the difficulty of finding a place to store it, they generally leave it in place.

How about an orange Supra like the one in the upcoming Fast and Furious flick F9? Not in the plans right now, but Toyota will monitor the buzz after the movie comes out. Meanwhile Toyota is taking orders now for the $200,000 GT4 race car with 430 hp that will be hit racing circuits next year. And, yes, it has considered the advantages of the compact Supra’s short overhangs in rally competition.

As for the rumored Supra GRMN said to be in the works? “Limited editions are possible in the future,” Tada told us with a smile.

This Just In: Toyota GR Supra Gets More Powerful I-6 and New 4-Cylinder Turbo Option for 2021

The Toyota GR Supra has remained one of the hottest vehicles on the market since the iconic nameplate was relaunched last year, but Toyota is not slacking off:  For 2021, a new 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine option is available, offering 255 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft. torque, making it the second-quickest vehicle in Toyota's lineup at 5.0 seconds 0 to 60 MPH, and effectively bridging the price and performance gap between the Toyota 86 and the GR Supra 3.0.  The GR Supra 2.0 undercuts the six-cylinder car's curb weight by more than 200 pounds, yet retains the same near-50:50 weight distribution.  The 2021 GR Supra 3.0 gets a power bump to 382, up from 355, while torque rises from 365 lb.-ft. at 1,600-4,500 rpm to 368 lb.-ft. at 1,800-5,000 rpm. In addition,Toyota is offering 1,000 new A91 Editions for 2021. This special edition Supra will have the 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine and will be available in a choice of two colors, Nocturnal or Refraction, the latter exclusive to the A91 Edition and an all-new color for Supra. Accenting the Supra’s concept car-inspired body are a rear black carbon fiber lip spoiler, matte black wheels, C-pillar graphics and carbon fiber mirror caps. The black Alcantara® leather-trimmed interior with blue contrast is likewise exclusive to this limited-availability model, and each A91 Edition will come with two exclusive key gloves and trunk mat.

Hybrid Toyota Corolla Hot Hatch Under Consideration By Top Brass

Right now, the plan is to use a 2.0-liter hybrid engine.

Toyota’s GRMN performance division is only a few years old, but the team there is busy developing upcoming vehicles like a hotter version of the Supra and GR Super Sport. Now, a rumor suggests the group might develop a hot hatch out of the Corolla Hatchback. It would give the brand a step forward from the limited-edition Yaris GRMN.

“So as we go along with our product range we will look at every one of the products and say ok what is possible? Does this model suit the GR brand? Can we make some excitement with it,” President and CEO of Toyota Europe Johan van Zyl told Auto Express. “I think that’s what we are trying to say with the fact we have launched the 2.0-liter hybrid in the Corolla range. We are saying it is possible. We can make a more exciting, sporty hybrid. The technology is there. It’s just the way you tune it.”

See the future of Toyota performance:

Rumors have already been circulating about Toyota mulling a Corolla-based hot hatch. The most recent reports reiterated van Zyl’s statement about using a hybrid powertrain for the performance model. “We don’t have any detailed plan yet. Of course in the future, the idea of a hot hybrid sounds very good,” Corolla Hatchback chief engineer Yasushi Ueda said at the time.

Speculation out of Japan also suggested a Corolla hot hatch would use a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder with around 250 horsepower (186 kilowatts).

Even if the Corolla hot hatch doesn’t materialize, other performance-oriented Toyotas might be on the way. Masayuki Kai, the assistant chief engineer on the new Supra, said that his team would love to bring the Celica and MR2 back to the brand’s lineup. However, he gave the caveat that the company needed another automaker to partner on such a project to make it financially viable.

There’s also still the second-generation Toyota 86 and Subaru BRZ to anticipate ahead of their alleged arrival in 2021. They should have quite a power boost over the existing versions by using a version of the 2.4-liter boxer four-cylinder from the new Ascent. If the mill is enough to motivate the three-row SUV, just imagine what it can do in a sports coupe.

2021 Toyota Supra First Look: New Four-Cylinder Detailed, Six Gets More Power

As MotorTrend first reported last week, Toyota will offer a more affordable Supra with a smaller, less powerful four-cylinder engine in the U.S. Now, we can now officially confirm that momentous news. Toyota has announced the new addition to the Supra sports car lineup ahead of NASCAR’s Daytona 500, where 43 of its race cars will compete this Sunday.

Finally, a Four-Cylinder Supra!

The new 2021 Supra 2.0 becomes the entry model, slotting between the Toyota 86 and the Supra 3.0 with the inline-six that launched last year. That 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six (and, well, plenty of the rest of the Supra) came from BMW, part of the partnership that also created the Z4. The two automakers shared costs to make it feasible to create low-volume, rear-wheel-drive, two-seat sports cars for each brand. In the 2020 Supra, the six-cylinder generated 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, and in our testing that was good for a 3.9-second 0–60 mph test and a 12.5-second quarter mile at 111.2 mph. For 2021, the six-cylinder’s output rises to 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque; Supras so equipped should therefore be slightly quicker.

But enough about the six—how about that four-cylinder Supra? Toyota already is selling an entry-level version of the Supra with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine—also supplied by BMW—in Europe and Asia. There, the Toyota’s four-cylinder is available in two power outputs. The lesser version makes 194 horsepower and 236 lb-ft of torque, while the more powerful version produces 225 horsepower and 295-lb-ft. Americans, rejoice—the Supra 2.0-liter four-cylinder being sent Stateside has been massaged to 255 horsepower (at 5,000–6,500 rpm) and 295 lb-ft of torque (which lands from 1,550 to 4,400 rpm). Those numbers equal the performance of the BMW Z4 s30i with the 2.0-liter four cylinder, and Toyota figures they’re good enough to scoot the Supra 2.0 to 60 mph in 5.0 seconds flat.

Lighter in Weight and Content

While the four-cylinder Supra clearly won’t keep up with the six-cylinder version, that it will only fall about a second or so behind in the sprint to 60 mph is good news. The Supra 2.0’s light weight surely helps. At 3,181 pounds, the base Supra is some 200-plus pounds lighter than the Supra 3.0. Partly, that’s because of its missing two cylinders—the four-cylinder shares much of its technology with the 3.0-liter inline-six, including a twin-scroll turbo, direct fuel injection, and continuously variable timing on both the intake and exhaust camshafts—but a lot of the 2.0’s diet comes from smaller front brake rotors and swaps the four-piston calipers for single-piston units. Base Supras also ditch the 3.0’s active differential and adaptive suspension, and drivers must adjust their seats manually (instead of using 14-way power controls) and listen to music from only four audio speakers instead of 10.

What the car does get is a new Safety and Technology package, which is available on the 2.0 as well as the 3.0 with adaptive cruise control, a blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors, Apple CarPlay, navigation, and an upgraded audio system. The Driver’s Assist package, an option on the 3.0, is not available on the 2.0, though at least 2.0 drivers can enjoy the same snappy eight-speed automatic transmission (with manual mode and paddle shifters) as buyers of the six-cylinder Supra.

Pricing has not been announced, but given how the four-cylinder Supra slots between the Toyota 86, which starts at about $30,000, and the 2020 Supra 3.0, which started at $50,920, take a guess where it’ll land. That said, pricing for the 2021 Supra 3.0 is expected to increase, thanks to a small power boost and more standard features. It will start arriving in dealerships in June.
