2021 Toyota Supra 3.0 at Lightning Lap 2021

We like to imagine Toyota engineers, product planners, and marketers were clinking Sapporos at a karaoke bar celebrating the completion of the 2020 Supra when inspiration struck for the 2021 model. Was it someone s stirring rendition of Daft Punk s Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger that inspired them to make a better, faster, and stronger Supra just one year after the sports car debuted? It had to have been.
The changes for 2021 lop 2.1 seconds off the Supra 3.0 s time. Credit the additional 47 horsepower from the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. On the front straight, the car s 382 ponies are good for 144.3 mph, 5.1 mph higher than the peak speed achieved by last year s car.

The high-speed left-right-left-right sequence before Roller Coaster will keep a car on the edge of adhesion. While we re sawing at the wheel like a giddy toddler in a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe, we re noting a car s tendency toward understeer or oversteer, how sensitive it is to load transfer, and how easy it is to exploit all the grip. Going through this section in the CT5-V, we feel a deep sense of connection and joy that s absent in a lot of other sports sedans.
