  • We compare two sports cars that share DNA - the BMW Z4 M40i and the new Toyota Supra Mk 5. These two-doors are highly related, sharing a chassis, three-litre turbo straight-six engine and an eight-speed ZF gearbox. But is the Toyota Supra any different to drive? Is it better? To find out, Tom and the Chasing Cars crew check out the Supra and Z4 on Australian backroads.
    Let us know your thoughts on the Supra in the comments - would you have one? Do you prefer the Z4?

    I drove both and bought the Z4 M40i.I wanted a convertible also the tech inside was the best of any car I had.I also had the Lexus RCF in mind.I like the Lexus RCF over the Supra.Probably not as quick but I like the looks.

    Fantastic review Tom. I think you explained the differences spot on. I've driven both and am inclined towards buying a Supra.

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you, Timur. We assessed the cars over about 1,200km to really isolate those differences. Both the Z4 and Supra accomplish highly - but I’m with you. I think the Toyota comes out on top.

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Simon Wright I agree with you, Simon, but I think it’s important to get to how Toyota chose to differentiate the Supra, and the only way to do that is back-to-back against the relevant BMW. We’ll look at Supra vs M2 later on.

    Great review Tom and agree we need these cars to exist - despite this I can see arguments for and against product/platform and component sharing and use of the Supra name but ultimately I think good outcomes achieved for both manufacturers here :)

    • @chasingcars
      @chasingcars  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Exactly! Once you reach the conclusion that the Supra probably wouldn’t have existed but for this partnership, it’s clear this is a great outcome.

    Numbers for power are manufacturers figures, actual figures are different for both cars.
    Ok their similar under the skin but both different forms outside, comparing these two to one another is for me odd.
    BMW use the B58 engine and ZF 8 speed in a number of their cars yet they don't compare them to each other why do people compare these two

    • @chasingcars

      Perhaps it’s because these two were paired for much of their engineering journey, and the fact they wouldn’t have existed without one another

    Supra is 100x better looking.... really nailed the looks it was a shame they didn't have the brave pills to stick with the FT-1. I think that was why so many Toyota luvers got upset, the concept set a expectation that was never delivered. At the end of the day neither car is built by BMW or Toyota, yes the tech is BMW, but I don't think it matter's the B58 can handle 1000hp apparently, so if you want a daily with 500-600HP I guess it could manage it.... Today all car manufacturing is about lego building, just look at the VAG range....

      A typical Zupra butthurt fanboy. The car is sport not GT (apparently you don’t know the differences). Go study mechanic and car classification for 10 years then come to answer. The MK4 proved better in the track. This abomination and self exploited name will never be half good of the old MK4 and MK3 Supra

      Well, the gearbox is ZF with a mostly-BMW software tune. On the other points, you’re quite right. Which is why we made the same point about it being a far better value pick here.

    Just so that you know the Supra is not a rebadged Z4
    If it was a rebadged Z4 then it would have looked EXTREMELY similar as well as handling similarly
    However the design is drastically different as it is by Toyota and even though the car is built with the help of BMW, Toyota still made it their own car
    So in a way the new Supra is a Toyota car

    -It comes only with automatic (no fun).
    -Complicated engine (rear timing chains, chained oil pump, plastic valvetronics, needs special tools).
    -Heritage, this car has nothing. It’s built by a german company in Austria.
    -The supra is just a copy. Z4 engine, Z4 transmission, chassis, suspension, interior, and tech.
