I think some of you would like to see this. Startup and small rev at 8:45 of video.



Translated description:
Features of Toyota's new Supra

Package pursuing the basic feature as a pure sports car → In order to realize outstanding handling and stable cornering posture, the three elements of "wheelbase", "tread" and "center of gravity height" are regarded as the most important factors, and as a pure sports car Pursue the ideal of. By dividing it into 2 seater, the wheelbase realized 2,470 mm shorter by 100 mm than 86. As a result, the ratio of the wheel base to the tread is 1.55, which is smaller than other mass production sports cars, achieving a small numerical value at the top level, contributing to excellent turnability. It also sticks to the center of gravity height thoroughly, realizing a lower center of gravity height than 86 equipped with a horizontally opposed engine. For the weight balance before and after, which is one of the important factors for cornering performance, we also achieved an ideal 50:50 distribution.

Design that takes full advantage of the features of package and layout as sports car → Design concept is "Condensed Extreme L6 FR" TOYOTA "Sports. A side view package that emphasizes the presence of tires with a short wheel base and large diameter tires. A super wide stance consisting of a tight cabin like 2 seater and a wide tread. Direct 6 FR Long Nose Short Cabin Silhouette.

Interior → Typical FR sports car space with thin instrument panel on top and bottom and wide wide console. A shift-by-wire shift lever, 8.8 inch TFT meter, a large full-color head-up display, adopts a tight new-generation cockpit layout at the driver's seat center.

Inherited the tradition of the in-line 6 cylinder engine adopted as engine → successive SUPRA, and equipped with straight 6 6 L twin scroll turbo engine. The maximum torque of 500 Nm occurs at a low revolution of 1,600 rpm at the engine revolution speed and you can enjoy the desired acceleration according to the operation of the accelerator pedal. The in-line four-cylinder engine sets up two 2.0 L twin scroll turbo engines with different tunings. The engine which realized high performance of maximum output 190 kW (258 PS), engine which can enjoy light sports driving, and engine which can demonstrate exhilarating driving from the city highway to the expressway can be enjoyed easily, which demonstrates 145 kW (197 PS).

As a design, I fully exploited the features of the package and layout as a sports car, and aimed at a sports style suitable for the first global model of the GR series. Adoption of a double bubble roof (TOYOTA 2000 GT) that contributes to reducing air resistance, and a method of making the volume of the fender enriched by bringing the lamp to the inside of the vehicle and using a condensed body design (TOYOTA 2000 GT, 4th generation SUPRA) It inherits the TOYOTA sports car tradition. By pursuing the skeletal structure using aluminum and iron and the bonding strength between different materials, the body achieves about 2.5 times the body rigidity of 86. It also exceeds the Lexus LFA which adopted the CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic) cabin.

Suspension equipped with a newly designed suspension pursuing a reduction in unsprung weight, high assembly rigidity, precise movement. (Front: double joint spring strut type, rear: multi link type). By installing an adaptive variable suspension system on a part grade and optimally controlling the shock absorber damping force of the four wheels according to the selected drive mode and road surface condition, the running and ride comfort are both compatible at a high level . Active differential that enhances cornering performance and stability optimally controls in a stepless manner the lock ratio between the left and right rear wheels with 0 to 100 by the electronically controlled multiple disc clutch, in cooperation with the VSC (vehicle stability control system). When entering a corner, select a lock ratio that balances the turning performance and stability in a highly balanced manner, and when escaping from the corner by stepping on the accelerator, it increases the locking ratio and demonstrates the maximum traction performance.

Emphasis was placed on the environment in which the user actually runs, and repeatedly rushing in on the general road during development. Of course running at the racing speed in the Nürburgring is being carried out, but running on all roads all over the world, such as Country Road and European Country Road and Autobahn, Northern European Ice Snow Road, US Highway, Japanese Winding Road, etc. Everyday riding It has said that he has tuned so that people can feel the pleasure of manipulating the car.
