The Toyota GR Supra has made a remarkable impact, affirming its status as a sports car in its purest form, designed and engineered for the joy of driving. As the first global model to be developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing, it has drawn on Toyota’s sports car heritage while exploring new horizons of handling and performance.Now the range is being extended in the UK for the first time with the established 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbocharged engine being joined by a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo unit.The new 2.0-litre engine widens GR Supra’s market appeal and, being lighter and more compact than the 3.0-litre unit, improves the car’s inertia characteristics and chassis balance for even sharper handling.Where weight is concerned, the GR Supra 2.0 weighs 100kg less than its 3.0-litre equivalent, a saving that further strengthens the car’s dynamic performance. The engine’s shorter length means its mass is located closer to the centre of the car, supporting an ideal front/rear balance and better inertia characteristics.

The excellent handling of the Toyota GT86 served as a model for the development of the new GR 86. The chassis and suspension were redesigned in order to adapt the handling properties and responsiveness to the additional engine power. Light and high-strength materials provide additional rigidity while reducing weight. Additional reinforcements have been added in key areas.At the front of the vehicle, diagonal cross members were installed at the connection points between the suspension and the vehicle frame, which improve the load transfer from the front tires and reduce lateral deformation. High-strength brackets were installed to connect the frame and suspension, and the bonnet has a new, diagonal inner frame that replaces the previous honeycomb design. These measures made it possible to increase the lateral stiffness of the front body by 60 percent.At the rear, a continuous ring structure connects the upper and lower chassis. As at the front, new connecting elements between the frame and suspension ensure better handling when cornering quickly. Since the interior trim is now connected to the vehicle platform, a continuous frame structure was created. The overall torsional rigidity of the body has increased by 50 percent.
Toyota has sold more than 2.2 million Sienna models since its debut in 1997. The fourth-generation Sienna debuted for the 2021 model year, offering hybrid power exclusively and giving customers the benefit of Toyota’s 20+ years of global hybrid leadership and well documented quality, durability and reliability. The 2023 Sienna lays down impressive numbers. Its Toyota Hybrid System II delivers 245 total system horsepower and earns the vehicle a manufacturer-estimated 36 combined MPG fuel economy (front-wheel drive).
Since its launch, Toyota C-HR has been recognized for its groundbreaking design and unique identity. Now Toyota is ready to share a vision of how it’s going to raise the bar by bringing even more excitement and boldness to the iconic C-SUV.The Paris Motor Show in October 2014 was the first signal that Toyota was preparing to launch a whole new genre of vehicle within the C-Segment. It was there that the world discovered the “Toyota C-HR concept”. Just a little over two years later, this concept would become a reality. With the C-HR, Toyota was releasing a car that wasn’t willing to compromise, and that wasn’t afraid to stand out, just like the people who would drive it.In 2022, a new challenge was set: how to take Toyota C-HR to an even higher level? How to bring new amazement and delight to those who already know and love Toyota C-HR for its audacity, provocation, and fun?Introducing the Toyota C-HR prologue. A demonstration that Toyota is going to deliver all of this. And more.
