A dyno test showed that the engine produces 339 horsepower and 427 pounds-feet torque… at the wheel.
Toyota claims the new Supra can travel 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 4.1 seconds. According to a Driver test it can do it in 3.8 seconds. Toyota claims the Supra has 335 horsepower (249 Kilowatts) as well as 365 pound-feet (494 Newton meters) of torque. However, Car and Driver suggests that these numbers may be too low.

C&D The new Supra might actually be underrated, according to this report. The coupe produces more power and torque than what the company claims. The test results showed that the coupe produced 339 horsepower (252 kW), and 427 lbft (578Nm) at the wheels. This is four horsepower (three-kW) and six pound-feet respectively, which is more than what Toyota claims the car produces at its crank.
However, there are some important things you should be aware of. C&D performed the test with the eight-speed manual transmission’s fifth gear ratio of 1.32 to 1 in order to get an exact figure. The car reached peak torque in sixth gear. However, the torque converter of the transmission isn’t fully locked until the higher ranges. Toyota provided the vehicle used in this test. This means that it may not reflect production models.
This test proves that Toyota could have underestimated BMW’s 3.0-liter turbo-charged inline-six. It could be because of the Z4 tie up. The Supra produced more torque (369 lb-ft) than the BMW Z4 (with the same engine), and possibly more horsepower at the crank.
The price is where Toyota has an advantage over BMW. The Supra is priced at $49,990 including destination. The Z4 with inline-six engine costs $65,690.
