KUALA LUMPUR: The wait for the beast will finally be over as one of the popular Toyota distributor, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that the all-new A90 Toyota GR Supra will be launched on September 20, 2019, in Malaysia.

Toyota GR Supra was first unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show, earlier this year. The fifth-generation of this beast was developed in partnership with German multinational automaker, BMW and was showcased by the FT-1 Concept in the year 2014.

Talking about the launch, there were not many details revealed in Toyota Malaysia’s Facebook post regarding the price and powertrain that the Supra will come equipped with. For that, we need to wait until the GR Supra is launched.

However, the Supra that is available in other markets comes with two engines. The first one is the 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder that can churn out a maximum power of 197 PS and a peak torque of 320 Nm. The numbers changes to 258 PS and 400 Nm if the engine is tuned. With such figures, the car is capable of achieving the 0-100 kmph sprint in just 6.5 seconds and 5.2 seconds, respectively.

The second engine is the 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six that generates 340 PS of maximum power and 500 Nm of peak torque. This motor aids the car in hitting 100 kmph mark in just 4.3 seconds. Both the mills are mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox as standard. The A90 Toyota GR Supra will be available in GR Garage, which is an outlet that sells GR-branded performance cars.
