Widebody Toyota GR Supra

Debates about cars are constant, and one of them has been going on for years. It is about whether Toyota, by creating the A90 model, achieved what was expected with the GR Supra model. Opinions differ, but one car is undoubtedly attracting attention.

This example is the work of the company Wheels Boutique, which equipped the Supra with a special body kit and a new set of Anrky Wheels rims wrapped in Toyo R888R tires, which enhanced the aggressive look of the vehicle. Traditional Supra fans may not like it, but those who like tuned Japanese models will probably give it a positive rating.

The body kit was done by Street Hunter Designs and includes front and rear wheel arch extensions, a new splitter and a large rear wing that extends from the standard trunk lid spoiler, as well as a new diffuser.

2023 Toyota Highlander for Eastern Europe

From the end of the year, Toyota will offer its largest SUV Highlander to Eastern European customers with a new turbo gasoline engine that replaces the previous naturally aspirated V6 engine. The car should offer more excitement to drivers, says Toyota.

The European version of the Toyota Highlander will now be powered by a new 2.4-liter four-cylinder turbo gasoline engine with 269 hp (198 kW) and more than 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission that transmits power to one or both axles. The current model is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 engine with 295 hp (217 kW) and 263 lb-ft (360 Nm) of torque.

The powertrain isn’t the only thing Eastern European buyers will get in their new Toyota Highlander. The car will be equipped with a larger 12.3-inch display, a new three-dimensional/adaptive digital instrument panel, and the navigation system has also been improved. Toyota will also offer a base for wireless charging of mobile phones as standard equipment, as well as wireless connection with the Apple CarPlay application.

When it comes to the rest of Europe, the Toyota Highlander will be offered with standard powertrain options, a 3.5-liter V6 engine and a hybrid 2.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine assisted by electric motors.

Toyota GR Corolla

After GR Yaris, Toyota and Gazoo Racing used the same recipe and created the long-awaited GR Corolla that will delight fans of pure C-segment sports cars.

The car is equipped with aluminum doors and bonnet. With the Circuit Edition package comes a carbon roof, but also Torsen differentials with a mechanically limited lock. Price and performance data have not yet been released, and the first copies should arrive in showrooms in the second half of the year. Unfortunately, the car will not be offered in Europe.

Under the hood will be an upgraded 1.6-liter three-cylinder turbo petrol engine (G16E-GTS) with 300 hp (221 kW) @ 6,500 rpm and 273 lb-ft (370 Nm) of torque. The same Gazoo Racing engine premiered at GR Yaris. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission with a ‘rev-matching’ function. It is mounted on lightweight reinforced 18-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 235/40 Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires.

For efficient braking and stopping, there are brakes with 356 mm discs (front) and 297 mm discs (rear).
