Is Supra V6 or V8?

The Toyota Supra is a sports car that has been available with both a V6 and a V8 engine option over the years. The specific engine configuration depends on the model year and generation of the Supra.


Supra Engine Configurations


The Toyota Supra has been produced in several generations, with the most recent being the fifth generation that was reintroduced in 2019 after a long hiatus. Here's a breakdown of the engine options for each Supra generation:



  • First Generation (1978-1986): Inline 6-cylinder engines, no V8 option.

  • Second Generation (1986-1993): Inline 6-cylinder engines, no V8 option.

  • Third Generation (1986-1993): Inline 6-cylinder engines, no V8 option.

  • Fourth Generation (1993-2002): Inline 6-cylinder engines, no V8 option.

  • Fifth Generation (2019-present): Inline 6-cylinder engine, with a turbocharged V6 as the sole engine option. No V8 available.


So in summary, the Toyota Supra has never been offered with a V8 engine. All Supra models have used inline 6-cylinder engines, with the latest fifth-generation model featuring a turbocharged V6 as the sole powertrain option.

Are supras V6 or V8?


When the Supra nameplate returned in 2020, it came with BMW's stout 3.0-liter inline-six. But now Toyota is preparing to stuff a burly V-8 engine under the Supra's hood, as Toyota's Australian arm has announced that it will join the Supercars Championship in 2026 with the sleek sports coupe.



Is Supra a V12?


Just to be clear, the company is called Top Secret and they have built several Supras with the V12 one being one of them. They also built a widebody Supra with a 3SGTE in it, and a white supra with the standard 2JZ.

They also share a 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine (Toyota has discontinued the four-cylinder Supra for 2025) and a rear-wheel-drive-only chassis. Toyota throws a bone to the purists with the Supra, making a six-speed manual transmission a no-cost option over the standard eight-speed automatic.
