- [Narrator] To car lovers the world over,
few names quicken the pulse quite like Supra does.
That remains true to this day,
with the current Mark 5 generation
paying homage to the nameplate's nearly 40 years
of legendary performance.
And with its very name a reference
to Toyota's racing heritage,
Supra is truly a pure sports car
that puts the fun of driving above all else.
The 2021 Supra lineup consists of three standard grades,
2.0, 3.0 and 3.0 Premium, as well as a limited A91 Edition.
As the names imply,
Supra 2.0 features a lively two-liter engine,
while the others see a potent three-liter inline
six under the hood.
Additionally, 2.0 and 3.0 models
can be upgraded with a Safety & Technology Package,
while 3.0 Premium and A91 Edition
can be further enhanced with a Driver Assist Package.

Needless to say, Supra is all about performance,
and this latest generation stays true to the formula
that made Supra so famous to begin with.
That includes an available front-mounted inline-six engine
that powers the rear wheels,
as well as a short wheelbase, wide track,
and low center of gravity.
This design helps ensure near-perfect balance
and exceptional agility,
as does a fully independent aluminum suspension
with an available Adaptive Variable Suspension system
that can adjust damping force up to 100 times per second.
Further bolstering handling,
is an available active rear sport differential
that helps ensure that Supra
can claw its way out of tight corners.
But the real fun happens under the hood.
Whether 2.0 or 3.0,
Supra's twin-scroll turbocharged engines
both ensure plenty of grunt throughout the rev band,
with peak torque coming on barely above idle
and holding nearly flat all the way to redline.
And in terms of overall power,
Supra 2.0 boasts 255 horsepower,
while the 3.0 models puts down a whopping 382 horsepower.
Regardless of engine choice,
a lightning-fast eight-speed transmission
keeps Supra at an ideal balance of power,
drivability and efficiency,
whether controlled manually via paddle shifters
or left in automatic mode.
Additionally, Supra has a Launch Control feature,
as well as a Drive Mode Select function
that allows for a choice
between two distinct driving profiles, Normal and Sport.
Normal is optimized for balanced everyday driving,
while Sport Mode tunes the driving experience
for true track-ready performance,
tightening the throttle, transmission, steering,
suspension, and of course, cranking up the exhaust tone.

All combined, Supra's zero to 60 acceleration
occurs in five seconds flat for Supra 2.0,
while the 3.0 models can rip to 60
in a mind-boggling 3.9 seconds.
On the outside, Toyota's sports car DNA is evident.
Supra's double-bubble roof design, for example,
recalls the Toyota 2000GT.
This feature improves aerodynamics
by reducing the frontal area
without sacrificing occupant headroom.
Similarly, the front fascia
was inspired by the fourth-generation Supra,
yet it's even more expressive this time around.
And for lighting,
Supra features distinctive six-lens LED headlights,
LED daytime running lamps and turn signals.
At the rear, a prominent integrated spoiler
helps to both suppress aerodynamic lift
and pay tribute to the large rear wing
that was available on the previous generation.
Supra 2.0 comes outfitted with 18-inch alloy wheels,
while 3.0 models
feature standard 19-inch forged alloy wheels.
In both cases, wider on the rear,
and wrapped in grippy Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires
that were specifically designed for Supra.
If ever a vehicle's interior
could be described as a cockpit, Supra's is it.
The center console has an asymmetrical shape
that tightly envelops the driver,
while the low, narrow-section dash
gives the driver expansive forward visibility.
All controls are logically placed
within easy reach of the driver,
and a standard 8.8-inch digital instrument panel
ensures that both gauges and vehicle information
are clear and legible.
Supra's interior also features
available racing-inspired
14-way power adjustable seats with memory,
as well as standard adjustable side bolsters
and knee cushions for spirited driving.
Lastly, A91 Edition cabins
are treated to unique blue accenting throughout.
(fast-paced music)
Supra delivers a state-of-the-art multimedia
and connectivity experience
centered around an 8.8-inch touchscreen display.
This multimedia platform can be paired
with an available 12-speaker JBL audio system,
and it supports all the features you've come to expect
from a premium vehicle,
including available wireless Apple CarPlay compatibility,
and Qi-compatible wireless device charging.
It also works hand-in-hand
with the available Toyota Supra Connect
suite of connected services,
which includes convenience services like a 24/7 concierge
and remote vehicle functionality,
as well as safety services
like emergency roadside assistance.
(bright music)
Supra comes equipped
with several advanced driver assistance features
including Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection,
Lane Departure Warning with Steering Assist,
and Automatic High Beams.
All models can be further upgraded
with Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control,
Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert,
and Parking Sensors with Emergency Braking Function.
Naturally, Supra also includes an array of eight airbags
and a range of traction assistance features.
(energetic music)
When it debuted for the 2020 model year,
Toyota's fifth-generation GR Supra
was met with deafening fanfare,
a legend returning after a hiatus of over 20 years.
And it's clear the wait was well worth it,
the enthusiastic acclaim
surrounding this flagship sports car is hard to ignore.
Never before has a Toyota model
boasted so much performance and technology,
and it achieves it all at a price point
that puts many exotic sports cars to shame.
With a vehicle like this,
it's clear that this chapter in the Supra story
is just getting started.
