The 3.0-litre engine is fitted with a single twin-scroll turbocharger and produces 340 DIN hp and 500 Nm of torque. Coupled to an eight- speed automatic transmission, it is characterised by smooth and pow- erful acceleration, with large amounts of torque available across the full spectrum of engine speeds. BUILT ON THE HERITAGE OF TOYOTA’S PAST SUPRA GENERATIONS AND ORIGINAL 2000 GT SPORTS CAR 8 THE TOYOTA GR SUPRA: A FIRST FOR TOYOTA GAZOO RACING The Toyota GR Supra is the first GR model to be produced by TOYO- TA GAZOO Racing for the global market. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is the umbrella organisation for Toyota’s global motorsports programme and in the past year it has achieved top level success in winning the Le Mans 24 Hours in the FIA World Endurance Championship, the Manufacturers’ Championship in the FIA World Rally Championship and the 2019 Dakar rally. Its work is based on three pillars: developing people through participation in motorsport; creating fans through the excitement of motorsport; and applying the knowledge gained from motor- sport to make ever-better cars for the road that are fun to drive. This ethos was fully embraced by Kiichiro Toyoda, the founder of Toyota’s car-making business, and is shared today by Akio Toyo- da, Toyota Motor Corporation President, to support the company’s commitment to make ever-better cars. Starting with the Toyota GR Supra, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will transfer the technical learnings it gains from the racetrack and rally stage to the development of new generations of Toyota’s sports-focused GR models and also its wider range of vehicles, driven by tens of millions of people around the world. 9 MESSAGE FROM TETSUYA TADA, CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE NEW TOYOTA GR SUPRA • Single-minded approach to create a “fun-to-drive” sports car • Achievement of the “golden ratio” determined the overall package and dimensions • Pure antithesis of today’s industry trends TETSUYA TADA, Chief Engineer of the Toyota GR Supra, gives his per- sonal insight into the project and what he aimed to achieve with the new car. THE SUPRA LEGACY Being asked to make a sports car that offers the ultimate, pure driving pleasure felt like a mandate from heaven, telling me to “make a Supra!” The GT86 helped broaden the scope and appeal of Toyota’s sports cars. Next, I needed to deliver a car that offers a seemingly limitless sense of control, a car that will meet expectations and delight even hardcore fans. 10 In making Supra, I insisted on visiting enthusiasts’ clubs around the THE FRONT ENGINE/REAR-WHEEL DRIVE PACKAGE world to talk to owners of previous models. I asked them what they With the new Supra we did everything that could be done with front thought the minimum requirements should be and the response was engine/rear-wheel drive packaging. For example, the speed through a always “a straight-six turbo and front engine/rear-wheel drive confi- slalom course is about 20 per cent faster than our original target time. guration”. It was pretty clear and I had more or less anticipated this. And it’s not just a fast car, it’s exhilarating. The key point was to keep that combination intact.

    FPT INDUSTRIAL CURSOR 13 ENGINE IS THE HEART OF THE 2019 DAKAR Turin, January 7, 2019 When the going gets tough, the tough get going. FPT Industrial is again taking part in the annual, world-famous Dakar rally, and is a 2019 sponsor, equipping the four trucks of the Petronas Team De Rooy IVECO with its Cursor 13 engines. One of the Petronas Team De Rooy IVECO vehicles with the FPT Industrial logo on the bonnet, representing the Brand's growing commitment to offer the best powertrain assistance The Dakar rally is one of the most extreme competitions in the world, but it is not for the fainthearted: it requires passion, technology and endurance, and the FPT Industrial Cursor 13 has all of these features. While the FPT Industrial engine was conceived to deliver high performance and top efficiency, all while respecting the environment, in industrial applications, it has also proven itself in racing. The IVECO vehicles’ Cursor 13 engines were especially engineered for such a challenging rally. The customization was undertaken at the FPT Industrial Arbon Research & Development center. The 13-liter engine is renowned for its reliability in on-road long haul missions, as well as in agricultural applications, such as for large tractors and harvesters. The IVECO vehicles’ Cursor 13 engines were especially engineered for such a challenging rally and can reach a maximum power of up to 1,000 hp. The engines have proven their reliability, robustness and top performance by conquering the most challenging stages and terrain in past Dakar rallies.

  • Nissan Delivers Stylish Fun with Altima Coupe
    Test Drive: Nissan delivers stylish fun with Altima coupe Even though front-wheel-drive coupes aren't big sellers, Nissan took the financial risk to develop a sleek, two-door version of the redesigned 2008 Altima sedan and came up with a terrific mainstream coupe. Its stylish silhouette rivals the beauty of Nissan's Infiniti G35 luxury coupe (Test Drive, March 15). That might annoy those who paid twice as much for the Infiniti, but surely will appeal to those who want much of the G's visual cachet for considerably less money. "Every body panel is different from the (Altima) sedan, except the hood. The investment was significant," says John Curl,. an Altima product manager. "We didn't want to just build a two-door sedan." Power delivery in the V-6, regular-production test car was delightful. Nissan seems to have proprietary voodoo it works on CVTs (continuously variable automatic transmissions) to keep them from feeling like a manual transmission with a slipping clutch, as some rival CVTs do. Nail the throttle and there's a definite, solid downshift to a lower gear ratio for fast acceleration. No brutal revving of the engine without commensurate leap of the vehicle. Whatever Nissan does to the pulleys-and-belt CVT elevates it to the level of pleasing, appealing and satisfying. Handling of the loaded, $31,980 test car was sufficient for most drivers most of the time. The coupe's suspension is tuned differently than the sedan's, giving the two-door a crisper driving feel, which is an accomplishment because the Altima sedan feels pretty crisp and agile and sporty.

  • TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities(E
    February7, 2019 Toyota Motor Corporation GAZOO Racing Company TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Outlines 2019 Motorsports Activities TOYOTA GAZOO Racing is a racing company positioning motorsports activities as the basis of our quest to create ever-better cars. From products developed through these activities to the establishment of the GR Garage, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s motorsports activities have been promoted as a comprehensive method of increasing numbers of car fans. At last month’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit, we unveiled the new “Supra,” which is set to become the first global model in the GR series line-up. The new Supra incorporates the knowledge and know-how that TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has accumulated thus far, and has been developed with the goal of enabling customers to fully experience the joy of driving. We have positioned the new Supra as our flagship model and, by feeding back knowledge gained through motorsports activities into the development of new products, we intend to further expand the GR series line-up. In 2018, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing achieved the long-desired goal of winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans and also secured the WRC manufacturers’ title, demonstrating that the challenges we have embarked on are leading to concrete results. However, we will not rest on our laurels. In order to deliver the anticipation and excitement of driving to a wider audience, we will engage in the motorsports activities listed below in 2019. TOYOTA GAZOO Racing will compete in the 2019-2020 WEC season. (The driver line-up will be announced at a later date.)With team line-ups, we will also compete in the Nürburgring 24 Hours Endurance Race and other races in Japan respectively.

Technological innovation plays a major role in taking on this challenge. Old and new industrial powers alike are increasingly reforming their policy frameworks to encourage low-carbon investment and innovation. The research project “Technological trajectories for low-carbon innovation in China, Europe and India” explored to what extent, how and why technological pathways differ across countries. Case studies were conducted in electromobility and wind power technologies. Evolutionary economics has demonstrated how initial choices of technologies and institutions preclude certain options at later stages; hence, innovations evolve in an incremental and cumulative way, resulting in context-specific technological pathways.

  • 2020 Supra Ebrochure
    2020 GR Supra Page 1 “Toyota lovers are waiting for the Supra. I think we need a Supra story again.” – Akio Toyoda, President, Toyota Motor Corporation 3.0 Premium shown in Renaissance Red 2.0. Prototype shown with options. Page 2 HERITAGE The story of Supra. With DNA sourced directly from the legendary 2000 GT, each and every Supra has shared the same core fundamentals: an inline-six up front, Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) and a modern chassis. As Toyota’s purest expression of performance, Supra has redefined the sports car time and time again. And, as we prepare to launch the next chapter of Supra, let’s revisit the past to see how the marque evolved from grand tourer to pure driver’s car. 3.0 Premium shown in Renaissance Red 2.0. Prototype shown with options. Page 3 HERITAGE A40 (1978-1981) The Supra story starts with the Celica, which provided the base for the original first-gen Toyota Celica Supra (A40) in 1978. Using the Celica Liftback as a starting point, Toyota engineers lengthened the chassis, dropped in an advanced inline 6-cylinder engine and incorporated the latest in comfort and technology to create a true grand tourer. ENGINE: 2.8-LITER 5M-E POWER: 116 HP/145 LB.-FT. OF TORQUE 0-60: 10.2 SECONDS A60 (1982-1985) The crisp lines and pop-up headlights of the second-generation (A60) Supra only amplify its stunning ‘80s aesthetic. Still an upgraded version of the era’s Celica, the A60 was offered in two flavors: the luxurious “L-type” and the performance- minded “P-type.” With its larger wheels and tires, bulging fiberglass flares and optional aero, the P-type would lay the groundwork for Supra’s dedication to pure performance.
