On Thursday, Toyota announced that the 2021 Supra will get a considerable boost in power and a new-to-America four-cylinder engine option.
The four-banger Supra — dubbed the Supra 2.0 for its 2.0-liter turbocharged engine — becomes the new entry-level option.
It's good for 255 horsepower and 295 foot-pounds of torque, according to Toyota.
Toyota says the Supra 2.0 rockets from a standstill to 60 mph in five seconds and hits an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph.
The Supra 2.0 weighs more than 200 pounds less than its six-cylinder sibling, but still maintains a near-50:50 weight balance.
Toyota says the Supra 2.0 will be a cheaper alternative to the more powerful 3.0, but there's no word on pricing specifics as of yet.
The Supra 3.0, which sports the same BMW-sourced inline-six turbo as the 2020 model, gets a bump in power for 2021.
Previously rated at 335 horsepower, the inline-six engine now cranks out 382 horses, according to Toyota. It gets a small boost in torque as well.
That means the 2021 Supra 3.0 now produces the same horsepower as the BMW Z4 M40i, which it shares an engine with.
Toyota says the new engine tune shaves 0.2 seconds off the Supra's time from 0 to 60 mph, dropping it to 3.9 seconds from 4.1.
A stiffened chassis and and other suspension tweaks improve both handling and roll resistance, Toyota says.
Along with the 2021 Supra 2.0 and 3.0, Toyota announced an accompanying limited-run Supra — the A91 Edition.
Toyota will only offer 1,000 Supra A91 Editions, 500 fewer examples than it sold of the 2020 Supra Launch Edition.
The A91 Edition gets an exclusive color option called "Refraction," matte-black wheels, carbon-fiber mirror caps, and C-pillar graphics.
Another surefire way to tell the A91 Edition apart from other Supras is by its carbon-trimmed rear spoiler.
Both the A91 Edition and the Supra 3.0 Premium wear red Brembo brakes that bear the Supra logo.
None of the new Supras are available with a manual gearbox. Instead, the eight-speed automatic carries over from the last model.
Toyota expects 2021 Supras to arrive at dealerships in June.
