    Toyota Supra Produces More Than Claimed 335 HP (250 kW)

    Many people are saying that the new Toyota Supra is a bit disappointing than what they were expecting. Originally, Toyota has claimed that the power output of the car was 335 hp (250 kW) with 494 Nm of torque. However, Car and Driver recently got their hands on one and it turns out the power figures are a bit more impressive than that.

    The publication had the idea to put the new 2020 Supra onto a dyno to see what power can actually be found in the turbocharged, 3.0-litre inline-six engine. The results, while in fifth gear, showed that the Supra produced 339 hp (253 kW) and a rather more substantial 578 Nm of torque. It should be noted that these figures were measured at the wheels and not at the crank, as per Toyota’s quoted figures.

    It’s difficult to say just how much power is lost through the car’s powertrain, but despite that fact the Supra could actually be producing about 380 horses (283 kW).

    This underquoting of power is not surprising as many car manufacturers tend to do it nowadays. As a result of this revelation, it’s easy to see why Car and Driver managed a 0 to 100km/h sprint time of 3.8 seconds (0.3 seconds quicker than Toyota’s claimed time). The Supra dealt with the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds and crossed it at a speed of 181 km/h.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
