Although it’s not as powerful, it sounds great. This engine might work in America with a Supra that is less expensive.
The four-cylinder Toyota Supra engine is prohibited in the United States. This is because the automaker believes the six-cylinder engine is appropriate for this market. This video will show you how the four-cylinder BMW-sourced four-pot sounds.
The YourCarBro YouTube channel focuses on buying cars at Japanese auctions and getting them ready for export. This video shows a selection of vehicles on the block, as well as a detailed look at the Supra four-cylinder.
The interior and exterior styling of the Supra four- and six-cylinder Supras are almost identical. The difference is revealed by pressing the engine start button. At idle, the mill sounds a little less loud. The difference is exacerbated by the fact that the smaller engine produces a buzzy exhaust note, which is not present in its larger sibling.
The engine’s 2.0-liter displacement is powered by a twin-scroll turbocharger. This is the SZR trim which produces 255 horsepower (190 Kilowatts) as well as 295 pound-feet (405 Newton-meters). It can be connected to an eight speed automatic, just like the six-cylinder model.
The base RZ grade is also available. It has the 2.0-liter generating 194 horsepower (145 kW), and 236 lbft (320Nm). The eight-speed gearbox is also used.
The host of YourCarBro says that the four-cylinder Supra is a good choice for Japan, as there aren’t many opportunities to use a vehicle’s performance unless the customer is in the country. Style and fuel economy are more important in cities than an enjoyable experience behind the wheel. However, he doesn’t seem to be convinced that the car should not have the inline-six motor.
