The Toyota GR Supra is set for a significant transformation: the addition of a V8 engine.This shift from the current German-sourced straight-six to a naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8 for the Supercars Championship in Australia will place the GR Supra in direct competition with the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro in 2026.

Toyota is a Japanese automaker founded in 1937 that has developed a reputation for reliability across a multitude of segments, from sports cars and family sedans to pickup trucks and off-roaders. Famous models from the brand include the Hilux,

Toyota is putting the V8 from the Lexus IS 500 into the GR Supra, but not quite the way you were hoping. This Toyota GR Supra is officially a Supercar, and the V8-powered beast will go to battle against the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro at iconic races like the Bathurst 1000.
