3.0 Premium Launch Edition 3dr Coupe
2020 Toyota Supra

Agile and quick, it can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.1 seconds. The engine is BMW's turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 making 335 horsepower and 365 pound-feet of torque, mated to an 8-speed automatic. A 2.0-liter turbo-4 is expected later, and a 6-speed manual may come as well.

The Supra shares its structure and suspension with the BMW Z4. Its wheelbase is just 97.2 inches, which is 4 inches shorter than the already small Toyota 86, but it's almost 3 inches wider than the 86.

The sports-car shape is classic, with a long hood, set-back cabin, wide haunches, and a short rear deck with a big spoiler. Less classic is the double-bubble roof. The body is sculpted with rounded organic shapes, creases for air ducts, and a nose with a horse-collar look.

The chassis is no less than what might be expected from racing designers: a stiff structure, perfect 50/50 weight balance, and low center of gravity. The suspension uses aluminum front control arms to reduce unsprung weight, a five-link rear setup also made from aluminum, and adaptive dampers.

The Supra also has an active rear differential, variable-assist and variable-ratio power steering, and 13.7-inch front brake rotors with four-piston calipers. It's shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, 255/35R19 up front and 275/35R19 out back. Total weight is 3,397 pounds.

The cockpit features two sport bucket seats with a digital instrument panel; a color head-up display is optional. The BMW iDrive rotary dial is used to interface the standard 6.5-inch center screen; the two upper models (3.0 Premium and Launch Edition) get an 8.8-inch touchscreen and a touch version of the rotary dial.

The EPA estimates fuel economy to be 24 mpg city, 31 highway, 26 combined.

Being both new and low-volume, the Supra hasn't been crash tested and probably won't be. It comes standard with eight airbags, forward-collision warnings with automatic emergency braking and pedestrian detection, active lane control, automatic high beams, and road sign recognition. A Driver Assist Package adds adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitors, rear cross-traffic alerts, and front and rear parking sensors.
