The Supra is built on a different platform, has a stiffer chassis, has a shorter wheelbase, and is lighter than a M2 so that's why the M2's flaws are getting more apparent now. It's a better drivers car than the M2...BMW's current best M car.Also interesting - when did the M2 get to be so bad? From MT's review last year:
"On the track, the M2 is right at home, with inputs and reflexes that are direct and satisfying. It's ridiculously easy to explore the limits at any speed or angle and still have the confidence to rein it back in. There's even more steering feel than before, though BMW could still use a master class in the art of servo tactility."
They seemed happy with it at the time. I guess maybe side by side with other cars made the flaws more apparent?
And a shame that these comparisons use the euro spec because by all accounts the us spec exhaust is straight roartyAutocar in the UK tested the same 3 cars - supra came out on top here too.
Having driven the supra and the M2. Supra Def felt sportier, though M2 sounds better. Cayman with the 4 pot turbo just doesn't sit right.
What the supra really needs is a better exhaust noise.
Don't forget the most fun law of all, the one that bans the sale of all new combustion engined cars in 11 years time! Can't wait for that one to come into effect...Sadly we have laws that are designed to kill all the fun and have anaemic cars.
I asked the product manager if they would release upgrades for customer, he said potentially in the US and Japan, but unlikely in the UK due to emission laws.
In the US, the Supra sounds so much better than the m2. Especially the 2020 car. It’s actually impressive how aggressive they were able to get with all the emissions stuff. With a catless dp, that thing is actually obnoxious lol.Autocar in the UK tested the same 3 cars - supra came out on top here too.
