Yes a grand tourer !
A very nice looking one and probably pretty fast on a straight road.
Also a lot of margin for upgrades, power can easily and cheaply go up to 500 hp.
Maybe add a KW suspension and lighter wheels, lighter seats (why not?) and you probably have a different beast.
A quick spin in the Supra GR
Many of you probably know this Supra has a legendary 6 in line, but not the purist version, at least not for a Toyota. No legendary 2JZ in here but the legendary BMW B58 engine. First thing I noticed after take off was the weight, a lot of it unfortunatel...
I'd say your impressions are spot-on....
But then I haven't driven it myself, it's simply a passive-observer opinion 😉. Anyway, really glad to have you sharing automotive content with us again, I'm looking forward to reading your impressions of the Superveloce 800 foreseeably! I haven't collecte...
ARROW
I wasn't aware Arrow is still making exhausts. I definitely loved mine on the Bimota !!! The test ride with the Superveloce will be one of these weeks I guess Bim ...
This is the retro three-can Arrow I'll have installed on mine....
Visually speaking, it's literally made for that bike to round-out that 60s-70s design language.... Pics below courtesy of 'Olders' on the MVA forum website .The other alternative would be the truly epic sounding SC Project single-can exhaust, but the pric...
Thanks for the insight
I've always felt like the supra cabin was a bit too claustrophobic for my taste. Between that and the fake vents it's a bit too much for me. A shame as I'm supposedly the target audience as a stick shift enthusiast.
I never drove one, I just read that it was super heavy. Some even made a comparative with the Alpine, and some tests, and what you wrote is in the same line than their opinion.
I was always attracted by this last one, though, for its engine and its lines. A strong and powerful design, with some sensuality. Now, I would not say that it is nicer than the Alpine. It is different, but not nicer. What you can compare with the A110 is...
True ! You can't compare it with the A110 ...
... but as I had just driven the A110 I couldn't but feel the weight :-( ... as if it was double of that.
Thanks for your impressions 👌🏻👍🏻
Apparently it gets a tad more exciting in the manual version but it’s of course always going to be a grand tourer, when compared to the Alpine 😊🤷🏻♂️
