Tuner Takes 2020 Supra To 420HP - Will The Aftermarket Be A Blessing Or A Detriment For The Legend?

British tuner Litchfield, famous among the GT-R fraternity for extracting monster power figures, has now extracted something rather interesting from a different Japanese icon. The Toyota Supra.

Announcing its first round of tuning upgrades for a car you probably haven’t even heard of, Litchfield says it’s managed to pump the Supra’s BMW-sourced (sorry, couldn’t resist) 3.0-litre turbo straight-six from 335bhp and 365lb ft of torque to a much more threatening 420bhp and 440lb ft.

Isn't it already around 400hp from factory?

I read the same as above from a couple reviewers; they tested the WHP to be 335 not crank.

335 at wheel means about 335/.85= 395hp at crank

I saw a red one at the supermarket on the weekend. It is a very curvy shapey sort of car. It would be a bit different hand washing this vs a regular car, save for a McLaren P1.

LMAO, careful guys, tuning a Toyota produced Toyota is fun, tuning a BMW produced Toyota is like giving the car custody of your bank account...good luck

Definitely a blessing. Supra is all about tuning. Just try and find a stock version of the previous generation.

Given how the import-tuner meth boys love to NOS everything, there are going to be a LOT of blown engines because they are built with BMW quality, but not Toyota quality.
