Enthusiasts begged Toyota to offer a manual transmission on the Toyota GR Supra, and so far they have put their money where their mouths were
pains to customize the transmission, removing unnecessary elements to reduce weight, and modifying the gear ratios to help it feel quick.
In addition, Toyota recently revealed that the linkage and shifter are new, and that it developed the i-MT rev-matching software specifically to make the transmission feel better for drivers. Its hard work has paid off, and not just on the sales charts. Our own Stephen Rivers had a chance to drive the model last year, and said that he expected most buyers to come away highly satisfied.
“We actually drove an automatic Supra back to back with the manual and they feel like considerably different cars in practice,” said Stephen. “The automatic is still as athletic and, in some situations, it’s quicker, but the manual was a lot more fun. The automatic feels like a cruiser while the manual seems to encourage more rowdy behavior.”
