Driven: The 2023 Toyota GR Supra Manual Is An Ode To Enthusiasts | Carscoops carscoops
23 MPG City / 31 MPG Highway Last week, we went out to the Utah Motorsports Campus to test out the new GR Supra Manual along with the new GR Corolla. You’ll have to settle forfor another week but today we can tell you everything you want to know about the Supra MT. Toyota didn’t just pull a gearbox out of the parts bin here. It tailored this transmission to suit the Supra and that’s easily felt from behind the wheel.
Toyota also says that the weight and shape of the gear knob itself, as well as the shift engagement, have all been fine-tuned. It also shortened the final drive gear ratio from 3.15 in the automatic to 3.46 in the manual.Beyond the physical components, Toyota had to retune its software to accommodate the new transmission. That included adapting the traction control system to the manual transmission and tuning for the human element now controlling gear selection.
The clutch pedal itself fits in the Goldilocks zone of not being too firm or too soft. The gear throw is short and easy to place. The clutch disc bite point sits just above the midpoint in relation to pedal travel which made for smooth starts including when dumping the clutch. Drop the hammer just right and Toyota says that the Supra will go from 0-60 mph in just 4.2 seconds. While we couldn’t confirm that in this setting, we feel confident that it’s possible.
We actually drove an automatic Supra back to back with the manual and they feel like considerably different cars in practice. The automatic is still as athletic and, in some situations, it’s quicker, but the manual was a lot more fun. The automatic feels like a cruiser while the manual seems to encourage more rowdy behavior.is going to steal some sales from the Supra. It has more power than the Supra and starts at just a shade over $40,000.
