A couple of months after the 2021 Toyota Supra was announced for the U.S. market, Redline Reviews has had the opportunity to check out both the updated 2.0-liter and 3.0-liter models.
While driving impressions of the cars are under embargo until next month, this video explains the differences between the two. Visually, the two variants do look familiar but there are some differences. This is particularly evident at the sides where the 2.0-liter model features 18-inch wheels and small silver calipers.
By comparison, the 3.0-liter version has black and silver 19-inch wheels complete with red four-piston calipers at the front and red single-piston calipers out back. Spin around to the rear and the changes continue with a different exhaust design, fitting given the fact that they have very different engines.

The entry-level 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder added to the 2021 Supra family in the United States is sourced from BMW and produces 255 hp between 5,000 and 6,000 rpm as well as 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque from 1,550 to 4,400 rpm. Those figures are enough to send the car to 60 mph (96 km/h) in 5.0 seconds and on to an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250 km/h).
By comparison, the 2021 Toyota Supra 3.0 model benefits from a significant bump in power so its 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder now delivers 382 hp between 5,800 and 6,500 rpm and 368 lb-ft (499 Nm) of torque between 1,800 and 5,000 rpm. This allows it to hit 60 mph in 3.9 seconds, 0.2 seconds quicker than the 2020 model. Watch the video to learn more about the differences between the two Supras.
