Toyota GR Supra co-developed with BMW
The Toyota GR Supra is a model developed in collaboration with BMW in order to realize the packaging of Supra’s traditional “rear-wheel drive vehicle equipped with an in-line 6-cylinder engine.”
Although the development is separate, it adopts the same platform as the Z4, and the engine is also equipped with BMW’s B48 type or B58 type.
Since the GR Supra is a model that can be said to have “BMW blood”, it seems that some people are expecting the GR Supra by the BMW official tuner “Alpina”.

Alpina denied the possibility of tuning the GR Supra when the GR Supra debuted.
The reason for the GR Supra and Z4 is that the market is limited, and in fact, Alpina has not released a model based on the BMW model Z4 as well as the Supra.
Alpina has released “ROADSTER S” based on the first Z4 (E85) in the past, but it seems that it is cautious to work on a model of this class because it struggled to sell this model. is.
Therefore, the realization of Alpina Supra may only be possible by customizing by the user.
