"At last, the Toyota GR Supra will gain the third pedal enthusiasts have been asking for – ahead of an M3-powered GRMN Supra halo due in 2023."

It's about damn time. Maybe the car will be used for more than drag racing now.

Yeah I have a feeling this was in response to the new Z coming with 3 pedals. Toyota doesn't want to lose sales. I for one never even considered the Supra simply because it isn't available with a manual gearbox.

Now this will be a tough choice between the Z and Supra.

seeing this, if true appears there is a mfg listening to their base of clients. The company not listening in is the actual mfg... does this piss off anyone else?

I read an interview with one of the Toyota executives about a year ago. He said the plan has always been to make a significant change or improvement to the Supra lineup each year it is in production.

Since the current Supra was introduced they have improved the suspension, added a 4 cylinder option, increased the horsepower..

I hope the manual is not limited to the high end M3 engine (if it actually happens) model.

Adding a 4 cyl version is not an “improvement”

Wow this could be the car if they’d also include a targa top. The visibility out of the car is atrocious, but having the ability to remove the roof would be huge.

Is the shifter also borrowed from BMW ? I hope they will tweak it for a more positive feel.

Better drive one first, most hate the fact you can't drive it with the windows down above 35 mph or the buffeting is crazy.

It takes a $5 deflector on the door mirror mount to fix the buffer issue. Not a deal breaker at all

Exactly. Our 135i was awful with this too. Hell, even my Z3MC was pretty bad at it.
