Did Toyota Tell A Lie? Euro-Spec Supra Dyno Tested And The Results Are Surprising

Less than a month ago, we had the chance to watch the new Toyota Supra in North American configuration do a test run on the dyno. The results were somewhat shocking, showing the Japanese sports coupe delivers 339 horsepower (253 kilowatts) and 427 pound-feet (579 Newton-meter) at the wheels versus 335 hp (250 kW) and 365 lb-ft (495 Nm) at the crank as listed by the automaker. Today, we are able to find out the exact power numbers of the Euro-spec Supra, and they are equally stunning.

Tune-ability is nice. Fake vents and door garnish still tarnish this effort.

Those fake vents can be ducted in high performance version

The fact that there is nothing Japanese about it ruins the effort.

It doesn't matter what the real numbers are as you can't outrace the ugliness

Which BMW has been doing for so many years, particularly on FI engines

That's really interesting that they would under-rate this engine. I haven't see numbers for the current M3/4 but I would expect numbers similar to the Euro engine. Any thoughts on why they would under-rate this motor? I would normally only expect that on the high hp M motors if any at all. Do insurance companies still use hp ratings as a large factor in their insurance rates similar to the 60s early 70s?

Because BMW asked Toyota to do so, to align with BMW's lie on Z4 engine
