The German tuner Manhart has done it to the Toyota Supra, which the factory can't get their hands on. At least not yet.
There are many indications that the current Toyota Supra, along with its convertible-shaped sister, the BMW Z4, is on its way out.
But before we get there, it's on the cards for Toyota to send a top-of-the-line version to the streets. It will probably be nicknamed GRMN if it ever comes to fruition.
However, the wait need not be that long. In fact, there is none at all. For Manhart has given the Supra Mk.5 the horsepower that for years it has been said that the car deserves. Namely 550 pieces from a 3-liter BMW inline six.
Manhart delivers the extra horsepower with new turbochargers, a carbon fiber intake, a larger carb, different engine management and a new exhaust system. Here, however, downpipes are an additional option.

The same is true of the body kit in carbon fiber, which makes the Toyota just a bit wider to look at. Yes, this actually also applies to the 20" rims with a concave angle. For the same obvious reason, the upgrade is anything but free. The engine parts alone cost DKK 89,000.
And here, the new exemption is not taken into account. It alone adds up to DKK 37,300, while the aforementioned downpipes, which must be selected, add another DKK 17,850 to the bill.
The carbon fiber kit is perhaps surprisingly by far the most expensive part of the entire conversion. If all scraps are to be included, the bill will be increased by DKK 93,000. Add to that the KW Clubsport chassis for DKK 23,000. AW!
To make matters worse, to rub salt extra hard in the wound, we have to state that Toyota in Denmark wants over 1 million kroner for the factory car. But then the registration fee is also paid.
