The 3.0 Toyota Supra, boasting 382 horsepower and 19-inch wheels, is a powerful machine to get you from point A to B. But if you find that you are craving something a little more approachable, the 2021 GR Supra 2.0 is here and ready for you at Newburgh Toyota.
As the automobile industry evolves, being a ‘gear head’ in 2021 is much different and more aesthetic-focused. So for those unfamiliar with the term ‘decontenting,’ this refers to an automobile whose features are a bit dialed back compared to its more top-of-the-line counterpart.
While the 2021 GR Supra 2.0 is certainly more entry level than the 3.0, do not sleep on this coupe. Instead of completely decontenting this model, Toyota has found a way to reposition features to both make the 2.0 more affordable while keeping it appealing for all Supra fans.
Lighter Means Faster
Those sold at the speed of the GR Supra 3.0 may balk at the GR Supra 2.0 being 127 less in horsepower; however, the 2.0 is lighter than the 3.0. In the straight-line speed test, the 2.0 took 4.7 seconds to hit sixty miles per hour, while the 3.0 took 3.8 seconds.
To someone looking to ease into Supras, this speed difference is hardly noticeable. Another appealing power feature of the GR Supra 2.0 is that it puts out around 295 pound-feet of torque at 1,550 revolutions per minute (RPMs); a substantial amount of pull for a lighter vehicle.
Given the speed difference of the GR Supra 2.0, the handling does feel a bit different. With more horsepower and a bit more weight, a vehicle tends to have a hair more versatility in control, but that is not to say the 2.0 is less desirable to drive.
Aesthetically Indistinguishable
While there are certainly many individuals who are still traditional ‘gear heads’ with classic cars, more are shifting their obsessive focus to aesthetics and accessories. This includes touches such as the finish work, the internal operating system, leather steering wheels, and so forth.
Previewing the standard features of a GR Supra 2.0 alongside the GR Supra 3.0, they are interchangeable. These include carbon-fiber interior trim, an LCD gauge cluster, and even paddle shifters for an optional manual mode.
Externally, with its sleek body and similar color choices, it is nearly impossible to discern between the 3.0 and the 2.0.
