Cold Start. The Toyota GR Supra gained 47 hp, but they won't make it to us

History repeats itself… As with the BMW Z4 M40i, so does the Toyota GR Supra it will have different power levels for the 3.0 l twin-turbo inline six-cylinder, if it is sold in Europe or the USA (United States of America).

Around here, the Japanese sports car extracts 340 hp from the B58, but in the US, starting this year, the power will rise from 340 hp to 387 hp, an addition of 47 hp. Toyota thus has access to the same version of the B58 that BMW uses in the Z4 M40i.

Why can't we Europeans also have a Toyota GR Supra with more horsepower? You must have already guessed… the emissions.
