As promised, manual transmission 2023 Toyota GR Supra here. Or, it will go on sale later this year. And Toyota revealed many pertinent details of the convertible sports coupe.
Crucially, it’s only available on the six-cylinder model, so four-cylinder buyers will have to use the eight-speed automatic transmission. Toyota says, “engineers have developed a manual transmission specifically for the GR Supra“More specifically, it looks like they’ve modified and now have a manual transmission for the Supra’s duties. It’s lighter as Toyota gets rid of the existing transmission’s ‘sound pack’, which we consider reduced material. sound The company also upgraded the clutch to a clutch with more friction in the material surface area and a stronger diaphragm spring.
The transmission is a six-speed, and Toyota didn’t give gear ratios for the transmission, but it did for the rear differential. The final gear ratio is 3.46, which is shorter than 3.15 for the eight speeds. This makes sense because the gearbox has two fewer gears to choose from, so a shorter ratio helps maintain strong acceleration in all six gears.
Finally, in addition to being available on the base Supras 3.0 and 3.0 Premium, Toyota is also rolling out a special edition A91-MT for a year only. It only comes with the manual and one of two options color: Matte white in the picture here or CU gray. It also has a unique, red forged wheel brake calipers, red Supra badge, red tie bar and Not red interior. The interior is covered in exclusive Cognac tanned leather, and boasts an Alcantara GR gearshift knob and 12-speaker sound system.
Regardless of powertrain, all six-cylinder Supras get a revised suspension and steering system, which was previously thought to make the car more comfortable. Traction and stability control systems have also been revised, and a new Hairpin+ powertrain has been introduced for better cornering on tight mountain roads. The Supra 2.0 four-cylinder It is completely unchanged except for the addition of a new Stratosphere Blue color scheme, also available on six-cylinder models.
The manual transmission Supra will be on the market later this year. Pricing hasn’t been announced, but will be revealed this summer.
