Toyota Supra manual rumors heat up in new report from Japan

Rumors of a handbook Toyota Supra are swirling yet once more many thanks to a report from Japan indicating that generation of a three.-liter inline-6 design with a 6-speed could transpire a soon as early 2022. 

This time, the report arrives to us by way of Australia’s Push, who noticed the observe on Japanese site carsensor.web indicating that a handbook transmission is on the way for a exclusive GRMN Supra design run by a significant-output model of the car’s BMW-engineered three.-liter S58. This just isn’t the initial time these types of rumors have come up, and it most likely would not be the past – except it is real, of system. 

As Autoblog earlier claimed, the coming BMW M3 and M4 will supply a handbook transmission with reduced-run trims of the S58 motor, so it is feasible the unicorn minimal-version Supra does the identical. On the other hand, last Might BMW announced a handbook transmission for the new Z4 in Europe, that roadster run by the minimal-output model of the identical two.-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder sold in the Z4 and the Supra below. As a result the Supra could get a stick change, but one mated to a 4-cylinder and not the 6. A left-area option mentioned in other places has Toyota securing the 405-hp S55 inline-6 from the present M2 Levels of competition, along with that car’s 6-speed handbook, taking into consideration the BMW coupe is due for substitution soon. 

We urge you to consider this one with a large grain of salt, as normal, but we are not able to fully rule it out both, especially with the looming risk of Nissan’s cheaper, handbook-transmission Z-car on the horizon.
