The Japanese sports car, developed in cooperation with BMW, is preparing an important novelty that we will see this spring. The Toyota GR Supra 2023 will offer the long-awaited manual transmission that has been in demand since practically its launch. An interesting option that can completely turn around the difficult situation of the model.
Neither in Europe nor in the United States, the Toyota GR Supra has been able to convince more clients than the Japanese firm actually estimated. In the debit account of this model has heavy development and much of the tuning shared with the BMW roadster, and with few arguments on the credit side. But this difficult situation that we made you aware of a few days ago can completely change, at least, the second part of your commercial life.
And it is that a leak has revealed that the first GAZOO Racing sports car will mount a new manual gearbox in combination with the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine. In reality, it is the late response to a demand that the most fans of the brand had been claiming since the official announcement of the launch of the Toyota model, an issue that the manufacturer did not consider possible in any way at the time. The leak has revealed not only the arrival of this new transmissionbut all the terms around until its arrival on the market.
The Toyota GR Supra 2023 will debut a 6-speed manual transmission
In fact, the great novelty will be announced by the brand in early spring. Specifically, on April 28, and starting the production of these versions from July, in the Austrian factory of Magna, the one in charge of the production of the GR Supra and BMW Z4. Be from October 2022 when the first units start arriving at dealershipsand when the order books officially open.
Of course, the brand is silent and has not confirmed or denied anything about this leak, so we must wait until the end of next month to see the official statement first-hand. And it is that this is more than important, since the fact that the GR Supra adds a new sportier option with the manual transmission, does not mean that it is available in all markets where it is sold the two-door model. It wouldn’t be strange if was only sold in the United States, even in Japan, and not in Europebecause it has been precisely on the other side of the Atlantic where this manual transmission has been claimed with greater force.
One more concession in the agreement between the Japanese and the Bavarians on the two-door coupe and the canvas-top roadster and which, once again, will allow them to distinguish themselves especially. Whyl from Munich is also available with that manual transmission, but only in the 2.0-liter four-cylinder version. Twin Power Turbo. In fact, it had been planned that the same basic version of the Japanese had this manual transmission, but the circumstances have changed.
