Speculation is that Toyota may have sent out a 'ringer' to C&D, also that particular type of Dyno tends to read a little higher. You'd need to dyno many Supra on many dyno types to get a consensus figure for power and torque.

I wouldn’t be surprised, given all the negative views on the car. Car and Driver’s findings have certainly had a big impact in the perception of the car across several of the Facebook groups. That huge torque figure compared to power makes me think that little baby turbo is at the top of its efficiency range so there may not be much more power to be made by turning the boost up. Since it does have a BMW ECU, I’ll be curious to see what the aftermarket can do with a reflash but it doesn’t seem like there’s much room for more boost.

Hopefully Gazoo’s website isn’t lying to us about Toyota finally starting a heritage parts program. They specifically name the A70 and A80 as first up which is exciting for me for obvious reasons, but equally exciting is the following line that is largely being ignored- other models may follow. I suggest starting with the 6gc first! Although we all know they’ll probably do the 7gc, maybe 2nd and 3rd gen MR2, then realize they’re losing money and call it quits.
