New Toyota Supra will have lighter, cheaper four-cylinder engine
ToyotaPrevious iterations of the Toyota Supra carried two engine options -- a naturally aspirated one, and a turbocharged one. That probably won't be the case this time around, but there will be two different engines on offer. The next-generation Toyota Supra will pack two different engines, a four-cylinder and a six-cylinder, Road & Track reports. Toyota already confirmed that the Supra would have an inline-6, but a new document and subsequent confirmation from Toyota shows that a four-banger will be on order, as well. Tada told R&T that not only will the four-cylinder Supra be lighter with "better weight distribution," it'll be cheaper.

Toyota already said that the Supra will rely on a straight-six gas engine, mated to a dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. Toyota expects the 2020 Supra to make it to dealerships "during the first half of 2019."Toyota confirms straight-six power for Supra with new teaser
