Almost everyone agrees that the 2020 Toyota Supra is a very good sports car with exceptional performance. That's not to say that there's no controversy about it, from BMW's extensive connection to the amount of power produced by its 3.0-liter turbocharged I6.

As this is the only Supra 2021 dynamometer extraction we have seen, there is still no basis for comparison. On this particular day with this particular dynamometer, the numbers could be high. It is also possible that Toyota has a tight wringer in its press fleet designed to impress us with the types of media.
