Every Photo of the All-New 2020 Toyota Supra

Instead of the herculean 2JZ, the A90 generation gets a version of BMW's B58 turbocharged and direct-injected 3.0-liter inline-six making 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque.

The chassis, however, will support less power. The chief engineer, Tetsuya Tada, has admitted that a four-cylinder version of the Supra will come later. We suggest that such a machine be called Celica.

"The way the partnership worked," explains Ben Haushalter, Toyota's product manager for the Supra, "is that the styling is 100 percent Toyota. We basically partnered with BMW for their platform and powertrains. Once we had decided on the hard points for the car, we sort of went our own ways."

Haushalter says that 50/50 front/rear weight distribution was a major focus of the development program. To achieve that balance, the cockpit's mass is pushed back toward the rear-axle line and the battery is located in the cargo hold.

Toyota also designed the interior while relying on BMW for many of the bits and pieces. The infotainment system behind the optional 8.8-inch center screen is BMW based but with fresh Supra-spec graphics.

Like the engine, most of the 2020 Supra's mechanical substance comes from BMW's parts bin.

Naturally, there's room for more power—the Z4's B58 is tweaked to 382 horses—but modern engines are already so stressed that it's unlikely this one has the reserve capacity needed to support such monumental power increases as those that made the 2JZ legendary.

The component set here is the Cluster Architecture (a.k.a. CLAR) on which BMW erects most of its products from the upcoming 3-series on up.

While most of the structural duty is handled by unitized steel stampings, some body panels, such as the hood and the door skins, are aluminum, and the rear hatch is made from a composite material.

There's some old-school Supra in the A90's headlight and front-fender design, but there's also some Formula 1 car in how the center section of the hood becomes a pronounced schnoz up front.

At 172.5 inches overall, the Toyota is 1.8 inches longer than its BMW sibling and 5.2 inches shorter than the fourth-generation Supra on a wheelbase that's 3.2 inches more meager.

Of course, the old Supra had a nearly useless rear seat, while this new one is honest enough to skip the two-plus-two configuration altogether.

Standard color choices will include red, blue, silver, white, black, and gray, while yellow will cost $400 extra and a matte gray will be a $1200 option.

Initially, Toyota will deliver Supras on 19-inch wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Super Sport summer tires measuring 255/35ZR-19 in front and 275/35ZR-19 in the rear.

Developed specifically for this application, the tires will feature Supra logos on the sidewalls.

The first 1500 A90-generation Supras sold in the United States will be designated as Launch Edition models that come nearly fully loaded and have a few visual tweaks to set them apart.

Based on the Supra's better-equipped 3.0 Premium trim level, the Launch Edition Supra can be had in a choice of three exterior colors: white, black, and red. You'll be able to spot them thanks to the red mirror caps and the matte-black 19-inch wheels.
