Новая версия Toyota GR Supra предназначена для выступлений в классе GT4, требования регламента которого ограничивают возможности доработки машин. Поэтому отличия Supra GT4 для частных команд и гонщиков-любителей и оказались довольно скромными.
К примеру, спорткару увеличили отдачу двигателя – но не до чудовищных величин. Вместо штатных 340 л.с. рядная "шестерка" развивает теперь 435 "лошадей", а количество тяги выросло с 495 Нм до 650 Нм. Ассистируют двигателю семиступенчатый автомат с дифференциалом повышенного трения и альтернативная выпускная система Akrapovič, а водителю помогают трекшн-контроль и ABS со спортивными настройками.

В ходовой части применены регулируемые амортизаторы KW, тормоза Brembo с шестипоршневыми суппортами спереди и четырехпоршневыми на задней оси, а также 18-дюймовые колеса OZ со сликами Pirelli.
В интерьере спорткара появились омологированный каркас безопасности, гоночный "ковш" с шеститочечным ремнем и система пожаротушения, а также передняя панель из карбона. К слову, трековый вариант купе весит 1 350 кг против 1 514 кг у дорожной машины. Динамические характеристики новинки не называются, зато уже озвучены цены. В Европе гоночную GR Supra GT4 можно будет приобрести в марте следующего года минимум за 175 000 евро.
Посмотрите, как "гоняется" новая Toyota Supra:
Ценник готов перевалить и за двести тысяч благодаря дополнительным опциям: спорткар можно оснастить, например, камерой заднего вида, датчиками давления в шинах и ходов подвески, множеством других нюансов для гонок на выносливость. Интересно, что, судя по всему, GR Supra GT4 - далеко не последняя "особенная" Supra, которую готовят к показу.

TOYOTA GAZOO RACING TO COMMENCE SALES OF GR SUPRA GT4 RACE CAR
Toyota Gazoo Racing will start sales of the GR Supra GT4 race car to customer teams in March 2020. The new competition model will initially be offered in Europe, followed by North America in August and Japan/Asia in October next year, strengthening the company’s focus on customer motorsport1.
The GR Supra GT4 is based on the road-going GR Supra, Toyota Gazoo Racing’s first global model, released earlier this year. It is developed and produced by Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG).
The three-litre in-line six-cylinder engine with single twin-scroll turbocharger has been tuned to 430bhp/320kW2 and is matched to a seven-speed sports automatic transmission with paddle shifts and a mechanical limited-slip differential. The performance elements include an Akrapovič exhaust system, and first-fill lubricants are supplied by Ravenol.
The car’s front splitter and rear wing are made of a natural fibre composite, contributing to an overall vehicle weight of 1,350kg2. Following the specification of the GR Supra road car, the suspension system features front MacPherson struts and a multilink arrangement at the rear. Adjustable KW performance dampers are used both front and rear.
The braking system is uprated with dedicated Brembo racing callipers – six-pot at the front and four-pot at the rear – and the OZ five-hole 11×18-inch wheels are shod with 305/660 Pirelli tyres.
Safety provisions include a high-strength roll cage for the lightweight steel body and an FIA-standard racing seat with six-point harness. The interior is fitted with a carbon fibre instrument panel with a display and steering wheel designed specifically for GT4 competition.
The contact companies for regional sales and customer support, including spare parts and access to engineers, are: TMG for Europe; TRD USA for North America; and Toyota Customizing and Development for Japan/Asia. The planned price of the GR Supra GT4 is €175,000, excluding any taxes, customs fees and logistics and other costs (approx. £151,000).
1 GT4 vehicles are sold only to race participants and may not be driven on public roads.
