The new Toyota Supra will have a lighter and cheaper four-cylinder engine

Previous versions of the Toyota Supra featured two engine options: one naturally aspirated and one turbocharged. This will probably not be the case this time, but will propose two different engines.

The new-generation Toyota Supra packs two different engines, a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder. -cylinder, Road & Track reports. Toyota has already confirmed that the Supra would have an inline-6, but a new document and a subsequent confirmation from Toyota show that a four-banger will also be on order.

As Supra's new chbadis was a joint project between Toyota and BMW, the Supra will carry two different BMW engines. The one we already know, the turbocharged I6 B58B30, will produce 335 horsepower. The second engine is the B4 turbocharged I4 from BMW, and it is expected to produce 262 hp quieter. Both will be paired with an eight-speed automatic – especially the ZF 8HP.

Road & Track was confirmed, in more interesting detail, during a conversation with Tetsuya Tada, Chief Engineer of the Supra at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Tada told R & T that not only will the four-cylinder Supra be lighter with "better weight distribution", but it will be cheaper.

Toyota showed its new Supra to Goodwood, but in the form of a camouflaged prototype. It is believed that the car could start as early as the Paris or LA auto shows in the fall, so keep your eyes open at Roadshow for any further development.
