- Is the new Supra better than the BMW Z4 M40i its based on? I had my first go in the all new 2020 Toyota GR Supra back in 2019 at the Nordschleife, where we did a story for Auto Bild Sportscars and I loved this car from the first meters. Here I am reviewing the A90 edition, which was the launch edition of this car here in europe with a special matt paint, black wheels and red & black interior. This 2020 modell runs a 3.0L twin-scroll single turbo, DOHC 24-valve inline six-cylinder making 335 hp / 340 PS and 365 lb.-ft. / 500 Nm of torque. Toyota only made 90 of these Edition cars. The 2021 model year for the US market comes with an updated engine rated at 382 horsepower and 368 lb.-ft. of torque.. Limited to just 500 units in Nocturnal and 500 units in Refraction, the A91 Edition takes the 3.0 engine and adds forged 19-inch matte-black wheels, satin-black graphics, carbon-fiber mirror caps and a unique satin-black-painted carbon-fiber rear lip spoiler. Inside, interior surfaces are trimmed in black leather, black and blue Alcantara and blue contrast stitching. Also available in all markets is a smaller 2.0 four-cylinder engine with 255 hp / 258 PS ...
As you can tell from my test drive video here I absolutly loved driving (and drifting) the new Supra! What do you guys think? Would you have it over the BMW M2 Competition ( review: • "2020 BMW M2 Competiti... ), Porsche 718 Cayman ( review: • " 2018 Porsche 718 Cay... ) or Audi TT RS (review: • "2020 Audi TT RS (OPF)... ) ?

Now thats what I call a car review! Well done Guido, such a joy to watch your reviews.
Good to see you back, dude. Sooo much better than the ‘influencer’ crap that we get in the UK.
Thank you!
Fantastic review Guido.
Top notch production work Guido!
Thank you!
This is a genuine review. Especially since you connect Europe and the states but still, at the same time, express your own emotions. A real joy - please drive on Guido! 👍🏻🤝
Thank you very much!
Hope you’re back for a while! Missed your great videos, please stick around 😬
Thanks :) This is video No.7 this year :D
TheGetawayer I just saw that but this is the 1st to show up in my subs... Weird
Great to have your classic Guido review style back! :-) love it!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude classic review and no you are not a hater just a professional who knows how it should be done! Keep on! Great review.
Very much appreciate your positive feedback, thanks!
Always high quality reviews from this channel! Hope we see as many of these as you can do!
One of the best reviewers out there, Guido the man!
Thanks! :D
I’m glad you’re back making content. I agree, online content sucks now. All mass manufactured junk. I miss the old days of Chris Harris as well. There’s a market for what you’re doing, please keep it coming!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid!
Good to see you back.
Thanks! Did you see my other new reviews?
Nice to have You back doing REAL car reviews Guido....
Thank you!
Great video Guido! Apparently the same chief engineer who was responsible for the GT86 (Tetsuya Tada) was also in charge of this A90 Supra. I like that this car likes to 'rotate' when cornering. When you corner, it feels as if you're sitting really close to the pivot point of the car - perhaps its to do with the way Toyota had programmed the steering ratio, and also the geometry alignment tuning for the suspension (toe, caster degree)
Thanks Joe! I didnt touch on this, but you are right about the development. I wanted to show how much fun this car is and I hope it came across😁 Cheers, Guido
As always, Awesome review!
Very much appreciate the positive feedback, thanks!
Brilliantly put, Guido! This is a great sports car since it looks stunning especially with he wide rear hips, reminiscent of the 992 Porsche 911, a very unique front end design, a logical and well laid-out interior and to top it off, a marvellous powertrain with the right amount of power. This, as you said, is the perfect daily car since the power is accessible and won't bite you as harshly if you do lose control.
Another great review Guido! I'm excited for the opportunity to drive the new Supra and see future developments of it as well. Nice timing to release the video on the holiday here in Germany also! As far as choosing it over an M2 Competition, Cayman or TTRS.. it is great to have such options for a 2 door coupe. However out of those, only the Cayman is close enough for comparison against this Supra. The M2 and M2 competition are fantastic cars, however they are a wonderful option as a slightly less focused but more flexible daily driver. In that way the TTRS is similar to the small M cars. The 718 Cayman is a focused sports car and is closer to the Supra, it would make an interesting back to back drive. However the mid engine of the Cayman would mean for the highest level of driving enjoyment the Supra wouldn't match up. Porsche will remain at the top of the pack due to unyielding engineering focus on sporting automobiles as a source of driving enjoyment first and foremost.
I would say the BMW M2 feels more focused and faster on track and out of all these cars, its still my favourite. The Cayman is too expensive, the Audi too. An Alpine is another challenger with superb handling, but I dislike the small 1.8 engine
OMG YOU'RE BACK!! i haven't seen you in years!!! well i feel like it anyways haha! amazing review as always!
Thanks Jeremy! This is video No.7 this year :D
Great review; as always 👍🏻
Thanks Tim!
love supra reviews! that is one strange looking paint job this supra has! it almost looks like its a satin finish metallic as opposed to a high gloss metallic... maybe its just the camera and lighting...i would always want any car to have a high gloss finish...this one looks like it was painted in some shady bodyshop LOL ... nice review brother.
Thx! This matt paint only came on this A90 Edition and was actually the first time Toyota used such paint. In person its stunning😁👌
Hey Guido, interessantes Video zum neuen Supra. Auch wenn du bereits das ein oder andere Wort über den G29 verloren hast, würde ich mich über ein eigenständiges Video zum Z4 M40i freuen. Vielleicht klappt es ja... weiter so 👍🏻
Dankeschön! Mal sehn was sich machen lässt. BMW geizt etwas mit Testwagen, was ich nicht ganz verstehen kann, aber in diesem Fall ist die Supra wirklich das bessere Auto, außer man will offen fahren :)
Another great video, thanks
You are welcome!
So glad you are back! :-)
Video No.7 this year, so I hope this wasn't the first one you watched :D Thanks!
TheGetawayer :-D ofc it wasnt. And looking forward to the next one already :-)
Fantastic review Guido! 👌🏼😁 Pleaseeeee tell us you’re going to review the New Porsche Targa for your next video.. ? 😁🤔
Not a big 992 fan as you know from my review, so only if I get a manual one :)
I really like it. Who cares if the underpinnings are BMW. They’re good underpinnings. Just wish Toyota had made a bit more effort in making the interior slightly more unique and Japanese.
True, at least the tacho is unique tough and the rest just works so nicely...I think the BMW infotainment is still the best for me, I really like it
Another great review.
Thanks, Colin!
I like it. I still think it could have been a little more jdm rather than gdm. It definitely looks cool! I would love to drive one to feel how playful it is.
I always enjoy your videos. Everyone criticizes this for it being just a repackaged BMW, but them when driving it, all say that it drives much different than its BMW sister car. I think I may buy the 2021 Supra. Clearly Toyota put their own DNA in this car.
They really did and its just such a lovely driving car, if you can get over the BMW base. I also doubt a new JZ engine would be any better than this motor
@@TheGetawayer Very cool review mate, congrats! But are you were really serious about the exhaust sound? All that awesome exhaust sound is not available for the European market? That sound offered a special character to the car... :(
@@ionutenache6473 Its not as loud, because of the particular filter OPF
@@TheGetawayer Sorry, but a toyota engine will last longer than a bmw engine. My 1994 MKIV turbo will be running long after these give up.
Nice review, ,though.
OMG Guido is back!! I watched you years ago but then you disappeared. I just figured you got some woman pregnant and you were looking after Guido Jr now. But you are back, air high five!! (Air high five because of COVID, no touch) ;)
Sounds like Toyota have a great car with the new Supra. 3 comments though. 1. I really like the curvy sensual design but my god, those fake vents are awful. Makes me want to take a baseball bat to them. 2. Honestly, who cares about an inline 6. Toyota should have used their own engine. 3. The insurance on this car is going to be incredibly high so people with money might just go buy a much more expensive car because they are poseurs.
Anyways, I'm glad you are back Guido!!
Haha your comment made me laugh, Kevin😁 Glad to have you back as a viewer, enjoy the new content, there are many new vids to check out! - Guido
I wanna know if you chased after that hair bike that passed you out at the end? 😁 Bet you did. 🤙
We were entering a town, which is why I let off the gas ;)
@@TheGetawayer 👍 I'm a new subscriber and loving all your reviews. Great work.
Nice Review
Thank you!
Dear guido, please come back to review the manual supra when it lands later this year
We only get the auto here in germany ;)
Gj dude
Great car🚀✈🏎
Good to see you, buddy!
@@TheGetawayer
Yes my friend i follow you for a long time
Gj 👍
You need to drive the new manual one!
Great video. Any thoughts or video on the Alpine A110S?
Thank you! No video but drove one. Very different concept to the Supra, but a fun car for sure💪
A comparison with an Alpine A110 would be good
I've driven it, love the handling and cabin, but the 1.8 engine is not exciting to me.
Hi Guido ! nice review again ( as usual :-)) . Did you see the review of Robert Mitchell about this car? He's not so happy with the backend and even took it out of the apex renting fleet because he thinks that someone with less driving experience might crash it on the nordschleife! what is your opinion about this? Grtz, Randy
Thanks buddy! I looked into his video and see a modifyed Supra. Hmm. I still listened into his observations, but wondered: Why didnt he get it back to get the alignment checked over? I mean the Supra was developed on the Nordschleife, do you think they messed it up this dramatically? I can only comment on the two cars I have driven and they felt amazing, rotated very controlled and manageable. I can also suggest watching the Sport Auto handling test, where they commented indebth on the driving character. Maybe the guy had bad luck or he is just selling something, but in my hands the Supra got driven very hard and didnt feel unsafe at any given moment😊 Cheers, Guido
love it
Thanks !
Hast du mal getestet wie es um die viel kritisierten Windgeräusche bzw. das "wind buffeting" bei offenen Fenstern steht? Wirklich so schlimm? Ich finde das Auto wirklich super, aber als Wochenend Spaßgerät wäre das ein Totschlagkriterium für mich.
Mir ist nichts in dieser Richtung aufgefallen. Am besten vorm Kauf selber mal testen, würde ich sagen🤔
Blast from the past!!
This is video No.7 this year :D
@@TheGetawayer First time it popped up on my feed!! But missed your vids!
Nice car, nice car control.
I'm with you gotta be a manual.
For the money I'd take the manual f6 Camen
Yes a manual would be great! Who knows, maybe they will give us one later
Guido can you please drive the new RUF CTR or SCR?
I have been to Ruf and drove two of his cars for Auto Bild Sportscars, which you can find on their channel. Maybe I can re-visit them, it was amazing and the SCR 4.2 is still to date one of the best cars I have ever driven - Guido
did you experience any rear unsteadiness under heavy braking before the corner? recent CZcams robert mitchell called this bump steer.

@@TheGetawayer thank you, will look into it. Very happy with your observations
I despise flat paint. Would love to see an extreme gloss metal flake gray on this.
This paint only comes on this special edition car for europe, which they made 90 examples of. So you can't order it. Actually first time Toyota built a car with matt paint. I loved it
Yes.
Although this has been said many times before, my objection to the new Supra is more of a philosophical one. With all due respect to BMW, Toyota is, by all accounts, a LARGE car company. As such, when you have such a legendary product like the 4th gen Supra to follow up on...you should probably be building it yourself. I'm sure this new one drives well, and it looks decent (other then all the fake scoops and vents). But...I'll pass.
Good to see you Guido.
You do have a point of course, but developing a new sportscars is a thing less and less manufactures do. So taking advantage of this platform and making it into what this Supra has become, is stunning to me. I doubt a new JZ engine would be better than this BMW motor, given the regulations we have these days. So if you look over the fact that its based on a Bimmer, this concept makes alot of sense and the driving experience is just superb to me
How tall are you? Did you find enough cabin space for a driver?
I'm 1,94 m /6ft4 and just about fit
So which would you have the cayman GTS or this supra ?
For the price of the Supra you can only get a normal Cayman, which I wouldn't like. I have not driven the new 4.0s yet, but they are way more expensive.
It would irk me too much to know the USA gets 387PS and the EU 340PS...
Thats down to the emission regulations, which is why europe wont get the power upgrade
@@TheGetawayer Unclear to me why the M340i can get a slightly watered down 374PS version though and this can't?
Are you gonna get the 380 hp version?
No. Emissions
Do you watch the German Netflix show dark ? It's incredible
No I havent, what's it about?
@@TheGetawayer it's about time traveling in a small town in Germany . There are kidnappings that keep happening 33 years apart , and the kids are showing up in different time periods but theres more to it. It's a amazing show and got voted Netflix's greatest show of all time from rotten tomatoes,I highly recommend it
💖🤣😍😁 Perfect curve entry ! You got my attention! LOL
Glad you enjoyed :)
In US the c8 vette is a steal compared to this
I have driven all C7s and loved them, so I hope we get the C8 here soon. Don't think it will be as much fun on tight backroads as the Supra tough :)
In the U.S it is very hard to get your hands on a C8.
@@TheGetawayer Do get one if you can. I think you will be blown away that a US car can be that good.
Bmw z4 😆
Yes
Its a BMW made in Austria. It will become a money pit giving Toyota a bad name.
If it were a money pit the many that are modded would've been broken down by now but are still driving like brand new today.
@@carboydorifutoparty3976 Toyotas are still going. Not the typical BMW. BMWs are money pits after the warranty runs out.
