Toyota GR Supra GT4 specifications confirmed
Earlier this year, Toyota Gazoo Racing revealed the Supra GT4 Concept at the Geneva International Motor Show. Now the race car – which has been developed by Toyota Motorsport GmbH in Germany – is ready to enter production.
Power still comes from a 3.0 litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. However, output has been raised from 335 bhp (250 kW / 340 PS) to 430 bhp (320 kW / 435 PS), while peak torque is 650 Nm (479 lb/ft) instead of the usual 500 Nm (368 lb/ft).
Whereas the road-going GR Supra features an eight-speed automatic transmission, the GT4 has a seven-speed version. Also fitted are a mechanical limited-slip differential and a GKN driveshaft.
Additional upgrades include 18” OZ wheels and KW adjustable dampers, plus the brakes gain a recalibrated anti-lock system and Brembo calipers for their steel discs. Helping the aerodynamics are a front splitter and a rear wing that are both made from a natural fibre composite.
The driver sits in an OMP Racing seat, secured by a six-point harness and facing an 8” display set into a carbon fibre instrument panel. A data logger is standard, but tyre pressure monitoring, a rear-view camera and a drink feeder are all optional.
Sales to customer teams in Europe are expected to begin in March 2020, with a projected starting price of €175,000 excluding taxes and other costs (approximately £151,200 at current exchange rates). Deliveries to North America and Asia should then start in August 2020 and October 2020 respectively.
