Have A Good Listen To The Sound Of The Toyota Supra
The end is in sight. We’re mere weeks away from the reveal of the A90 Toyota Supra, which means all the teasers, the leaks, the racing cars, and the wrapping paper (yes really) - it all stops. And then we cross our fingers that the car lives up to the tremendous hype.
Because the Supra’s Detroit debut is so close, we’ll forgive one more teasing video. Particularly as it focuses on something we’re all keen to know about - exhaust noise. We did get a sense of this from some of the prototype drive videos doing the rounds a few months ago, but this gives us a much better idea.
It sounds about as good as you could reasonably expect a modern turbocharged straight-six to. In other words, not exactly spectacular, but a rather pleasant din nonetheless. We’re sure the aftermarket will step in to come up with some solutions for those wanting a little more rudeness.
Just in case you need reminding, the sound is coming from BMW’s B58 inline-six as part of Toyota’s joint venture with the German brand, which has also resulted in the Supra sharing a platform and other bits and pieces with the new Z4.

Sounds gr8
it does sound like a modifed supra
Love it! Sounds so modern and yet so Supra-y!
Since people are already complaining about this legendary motor, would you rather have a V6 and a full slushbox?
Is the noise it will make or the noise that will be pumped into the cab through the speakers?
It does sound quite good actually
It sounds like a BMW M series,but the distinct pops and crackles from the Supra still remains.
Sounds good but the car is meh at best so far. The 3.0 turbo six is only rumored to have 335 HP stock. That’s pretty week IMO considering you can grab a Focus RS with 350 HP and AWD for 40K. Also kinda sad when it’s tuner rival the GTR, is pushing 600 HP. Hoping it will be different once it finally drops, but it the leaks are true, I have a feeling this is not going to be the Supra that Supra fans had hoped for.
It sounds like the version from Gran Turismo Sport. I wonder if that means Gran Turismo sounds amazing or the supra sounds a bit dull…
Sounds like a Toyota, not a BMW. That’s good, very good and deep sound.
Love it. <3
Yup sounds pretty identical to my M240i…which is to say pretty good.
