As soon as Toyota announced its intention to give the GR Supra a manual gearbox, most car fans probably thought they knew the recipe. The Supra’s BMW-sourced ‘B58’ in-line six-cylinder engine has been hooked up to a manual option in plenty of cars before, including the previous-generation M240i and 340i.
So, surely a manual Supra involves taking the gearbox used in those cars and dropping it in? Not quite, it turns out. What Toyota actually did was partly develop a new gearbox, believing it to be the best way to get the right level of shift quality. The development team “went shopping” at German firm ZF, building a transmission related to BMW’s, but with many bespoke components.
The work didn’t stop there. To accommodate the shifter, the top part of the centre console had to be widened considerably, with the infotainment controls, drive mode buttons and the electronic handbrake all moved to new positions. The shift knob itself isn’t an off-the-shelf part either, and Toyota went through multiple designs with different weights, settling on the heaviest of them all - a 200g part - in its quest for the perfect shift. As Nicola Hume finds out, the manual gearbox - plus numerous chassis tweaks - make this the best Supra yet.
