GR SUPRA 3.0 PRO REVIEW
WRITTEN AND PHOTOGRAPHED BY ANTONY HOLTER
While we are seeing more SUVs and electric vehicles on the road it is nice to know that there are still a few options around for someone looking for a car that offers an enjoyable driving experience mixed with some brute power and one that makes you feel like you are inside a real-life video game .
Arguably the Supra is the most attractive purchase in its market when you look at its close rivals but what makes it stick out from the crowd ? Well , you can start with the 3.0-liter straight-six turbocharged petrol BMW engine . The performance coming from the engine is really impressive and the sound is one that I would like to take out of the car and put into most other cars that I drive .
I did wonder if I would miss the manual gearbox in the Supra and at times I admit I did but I have to give the eight-speed gearbox some credit as is was a lot quicker to respond than others I have tested . Although Toyota has now released a manual version of the Supra for the petrol heads out there .
