2021 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 receives a power boost for the new model year.A four-cylinder version of the GR Supra is also hitting the market this year.The GR Supra A91 Edition will have exclusive carbon fiber design features.

Toyota went back to the drawing board in revising the 2021 GR Supra. If you?ve been following Automoblog for some time, then you probably know I have mixed reactions about the fifth-generation Supra. And like the rest of the automotive community, I too was confused in discerning the fine line between the new Supra and BMW Z4. The Supra and the Z4 are sharing the same DNA (to put it kindly), and the new Supra is blunt about it, too.

Setting the Stage

All it takes is to lift the bonnet to see how the Supra is a German in Japanese clothing. I?m not saying it?s a bad thing exactly. Given how good BMW?s inline-sixes were in the second-generation E36 M3 ? a car still on my list of dream vehicles to own ? I had no doubt the Supra was going to have a stonking motor.
However, I and the rest of the guys here at Automoblog can?t help but argue on why the new Toyota Supra is short on power compared to the BMW Z4. And you know what, that?s basically the Supra?s (or Toyota?s) biggest fault here; not because it didn?t come with a manual (rowing your own gears is so 1990s), and not because it?s a Z4 clone (so what, car makers are all doing that now, right"). Rather it all came down to a power output issue.
