The problem with the Toyota Supra is not that it is now, or ever has been, a poor car, it’s just that it’s up against the very best in the business. How in a test of three cars could it ever hope to come anywhere other than third against the Porsche Cayman and Alpine A110?
In an attempt to close the gap to two of the most lauded cars on sale, Toyota has revisited the Supra to see what can be done. It’s come up with two ideas: a manual gearbox (available in a Cayman, but not the Alpine) and a raft of chassis revisions to sharpen up the show.
