2021 Toyota Supra Test Drive Review summaryImage

A satisfying and uncommon sports car returns with four-cylinder power.

One year after its return, the Toyota Supra comes with two new engines: one that makes this two-seat coupe more powerful and one that makes it more affordable. Styled in Japan, developed in Germany, and made in Austria, the Supra is a hardtop BMW Z4 with a Toyota badge. It’s an exciting little car that gets attention everywhere. This is our second romp in a Supra and our first with the lighter, cheaper, and slower Supra 2.0. It’s very good. But this model prompts a tough question: Six or four cylinders?
9/10

Nothing else looks like a Supra. This claim is backed up by the dozen people who flashed smiles, thumbs up, tailgated, and stooped down to peer through the slanted windows. And we guarantee it’s not just because our Supra was red. We had the same experience driving a silver Supra earlier this year. It’s a wild little thing and there aren’t many on the road. The double-bubble roof is a racer’s touch to improve headroom while wearing helmets (which our resident tall man, George Kennedy, has tested). The side windows are so pointy they’re almost triangles. Wide rear haunches and a ducktail spoiler announce the Supra from behind, while a Formula-car-style nose, oversized headlight housings, and a clamshell hood tell the world up front that this is a serious machine.

We wouldn’t call the Supra beautiful. There are too many extraneous vents and slots scattered across the body. That Formula nose sticks out like a swollen knuckle. But the proportions and small footprint are perfect. It’s about six inches longer than Toyota’s other rear-wheel-drive sports car, the 86, and just as long as a Porsche 718 Cayman. The short tail and long hood, with the driver positioned well behind the car’s centerline, equates to a racy stance that the large wheels and fat exhaust tips emphasize to great effect. For 2021, the Supra 2.0 rides on 18-inch wheels while the 3.0 has 19s. Both use the same staggered width (255/275) and shiny red brake calipers. The cleverest detail is the reverse light. It illuminates as a large grid in the center of the rear diffuser, just like the rain lights on Formula 1 cars.

The only disappointment is the array of interior colors. Or, should we say, the lack of color. There's very little color inside a Supra, save for a reddish tint on the microfiber seat inserts and gray stitching, or blue-tinted inserts and stitching if you order the A91 Edition. Only certain 2020 Launch Edition cars had red leather seats and a partial red dash. We really liked this look, but Toyota goes all-black for 2021. Quality and design are good, especially the curved carbon-fiber trim on the console, and very appropriate for the Supra’s mission and price. They’re certainly better than many Toyota models, with thick padding on the center console, dash, and doors. BMW switchgear and infotainment are familiar friends. Anyone complaining hasn’t driven a BMW lately—they feel great and are very easy to use. A row of preset buttons and climate controls on the center stack, a few more on the console, and a simple digital dash are all you see. The 3.0 Premium swaps the microfiber for full leather. Any Supra feels the same, which is most important for the base model—you don’t get swindled.

Slick car with plenty of torque and power to feel exhilarating in the city. Supported well in the aftermarket due to shared parts with both the 3.0 Supra and various BMW models. Interior is nice (albeit I am used to JDM interiors). My base model does not have CarPlay, if that’s a big deal to you, then try to find one with the Safety Package. Little room to put items such as: phones, wallet, keys (and they like to fly under the seats with acceleration). A quick phone stand and the interior feels complete. TLDR; Great looks, great handling, enough power, sports car quirks, good upgradability, saves money over 3.0.Jul 20, 2023
