2021 Toyota Supra brings more hustle to the party

If you bought a 2020 Toyota Supra, I'm sorry, but you got the shaft. 

Toyota has rolled out a whole host of updates to its halo sports car just one year after its debut, and having driven both, I can assure you,the 2021 Supra is demonstrably better, even though some old flaws remain.

The 2021 Toyota Supra's got some decent competition in the compact premium sports car segment, but it's aggressively priced, starting at $55,485 for my 3.0-liter tester's Premium trim and landing at $57,145 with the driver assistance package.

Its stablemate, the BMW Z4 M40i, carries a bit more brand cachet but is also more anonymously styled, and the two are now evenly matched on power.

The Porsche 718 Cayman S is more refined, but its engine is less exciting to listen to and, like all Porsches, it can get entirely too expensive in a hurry.

However, you can also get the Porsche with a manual transmission.

If you want a Supra at a lower price, its 2.0-liter variant brings that window sticker down to $43,985.

Toyota's Supra came out of the gates swinging, but there's always room for improvement. 

Throwing a number of underbody upgrades at the car, in addition to a dollop of extra power, gives this 2021 Toyota Supra an even more compelling character that is immediately felt and appreciated.
