Supra’s rumors are becoming more diverse. The Japanese store Mag X reports (translated), through CarBuzz, that Toyota is preparing a manual transmission for the new sports car of the automobile manufacturer. We know Toyota has tried row versions of the Supra, but a definitive gear lever is new. If we play the game and assume that there is merit in that, the query of where a manual would have compatibility with the diversity of Supra leaves us with many other queries.
Let’s start with the latest rumor from Japan a few weeks ago. Best Car magazine stated that Supra’s leading engineer, Tetsuya Tada, had talked about a limited edition style in a few years that would be powered by BMW’s 3.0-liter S58 twin-line twin-line twin-line engine. This BMW engine is now proliferating in the BMW M range. Instead of bmw’s current 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque from BMW’s B58 six-cylinder line, the engine for the nearby M3 and M4 can bring 473 horsepower and 442 pound-feet in a popular environment, or 503 horsepower and 442 pound-feet. ft foot if delivered to Toyota in festival specifications. Data on the most productive car also indicated that the special edition car would mix the new hot engine of the M department with an older transmission; The supra hi-po, instead of using the new eight-speed M Sport Steptronic automatic torque converter, would use the seven-speed M-DCT transmission used in the existing M2 Competition; the M2 still runs through the S55 online, six that preceded it. the S58.
The upcoming BMW M3 and M4 will offer manual transmission with a less rugged S58 engine, so it’s imaginable that the limited edition Unicorn Supra will do the same. On the other hand, last May, BMW announced a manual transmission for the new Z4 in Europe, this roadster powered through the energy-efficient edition of the same 2.0-liter four-cylinder turbocharged four-cylinder sold on the Z4 and Supra here. Therefore, the Supra may have only one gear lever, but a carpet for a four-cylinder and not for six. A left garden option discussed elsewhere causes Toyota to secure the 405-horsepower S55 in-line from the existing M2 competition, as well as the car’s six-speed manual transmission, as the BMW Coupé will be replaced shortly.
And remember, according to Best Car, all this fuss is for a style that has five years to live.
Tada stated that his team was paying attention to requests for manual transmission at the Supra, while giving various explanations as to the difficulty of doing so. He talked about packaging disorders as the challenge of a transmission exchange. He said he had the Toyota 86 – which gives a manual – because he obviously needed to distinguish the 86 and the Supra, one way to do it by being an automatic supra solo. He spoke of the fear of tuners expanding force beyond the limits of a manual transmission. And he talked about the lack of time: that his engineers can simply carry more force or do a manual, but not simultaneously.
All we know is that Toyota has a lot of plans for the Supra. We don’t know what plans will be made, but everyone from more force to less weight to a manual gearbox seems good.
