The 2003 Toyota Supra wasn’t technically a “Gazoo Racing (GR )” Supra, but a JZA80 Mk4 Supra from the JGTC (Japan Grand Touring Championship, which we now know as Super GT. It was powered by a 4.5L Naturally Aspirated V8 engine that could produce 480–500 hp, 510 Nm torque conforming to the GT500 regulations. The power was transferred to the rear wheels via a Hewland 6-speed sequential transmission, operated with a sequential gear shifter.

The current spec Toyota GR Supra GT500 is a whole different beast compared to the 2003 JZA80 Supra. While they both share the “Supra” name, the 21-year gap has transformed the car from a modified grand tourer into a purpose-built “Class 1” silhouette racer. The modern version of the car is powered by a 2.0L Turbocharged I4 (RI4AG) “Formula Nippon Race Engine” that can produce 650+ hp and ~700+ Nm of torque. The Hewland 6-speed sequential transaxle gearbox is being operated via steering-wheel-mounted paddles connected to an electronic-pneumatic actuator system.
