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.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
