TOM'S has been the official tuner of Toyota for many years, and have achieved great success in racing. It is not an exaggeration to say that the history of TOM'S has been shaped by the Supra. TOM'S began racing with the Supra's predecessor, the Celica, and in 1987 became the first Japanese team to enter Group A with an A70 Supra, winning on its debut. They were also champions in the A80 Supra’s first year racing. The Supra returned in 2020, and once again the team entered the Super GT series with it, becoming champions in 2021.
TOM'S has taken its flagship model, the TOM'S Supra, and updated it to make it more comfortable for city driving and long distance travel. The TOM'S Supra Tourer is the result of re-setting the engine characteristics, aerodynamic balance and handling while maintaining sporty performance.
The most noticeable changes are in the striking exterior. The body has been significantly widened to 1950mm, the same as the Super GT race car, with the front and rear wheel arches having vents for more efficient airflow. The wing usually fitted has been removed for a more street-friendly look. The concave 20 inch wheels were made by Vossen specifically for this car.
The B58 engine has only been slightly modified to maintain the reliability of the stock engine. A high-flow turbocharger and a special ECU that uses technology acquired from racing experience, allow the engine to reach 420hp.
To address the greater performance, the brakes were upgraded to Brembo 6-pot calipers and large 380mm rotors.
The suspension are KW version 3 height-adjustable dampers and springs. They have been adjusted to provide a more supple ride, while maximising tyre grip and making the car more comfortable over long distances.
The interior of the car has also been changed slightly with parts like the steering wheel covered with dry carbon making the driver aware that this a unique Supra.
With an exterior full of character and great performance, this car is the ultimate tourer Supra, made possible by TOM’S, who have been at the forefront of Supra research for many years.
