From the “skating stadium” we set off for the districts. I leave the stabilization disabled, but I work more carefully and sensitively with the throttle. I stop communicating with my passenger, I concentrate with all my might and my entire nervous system is tense like the E string on a guitar, so that I can cope with the rear wheel slippage even in the small space of half a narrow district road.

Of course, this is not for wild drifts. The car seems to be nervously walking on the small road, but the more I step on its neck, the more precisely it comes out of the corner in the direction I want. Here she is already a taller girl, but anyone who can see what is happening under her arms and buttocks will enjoy a very pleasant adrenaline ride. With the stabilization turned off, the Supra is more agile and oversteer than the BMW Z4, but also than the M3. In this mode, it is one of the best cars I have ever driven. Although fun, it does not lack maturity and fortitude. It will not be thrown even on very uneven asphalt.

The steering and transmission shifts are best in sport and sporty driving modes. The faster and more aggressively you drive the Toyota Supra, the better it feels. This is not a car for meek drivers! Excellent brakes are no problem, the three-liter six-cylinder engine combined with a turbo delivers enough power and dynamics, according to the needs and capabilities of the chassis. The on-board computer shows a consumption of twenty liters, but only because it can’t do more. The real value lies elsewhere.

The brave passenger is no longer laughing all the time, but he says he actually finds it very relaxing to rampage through the districts. It feels like being in a cinema where they show Rivals or Le Mans ’66. The chassis is not at all comfortable and bumpy.

I wiped the sweat from my brow and turned on the stabilization. At that point, the Supra was no longer a great sports car. In sharper corners, the electronics sometimes interfered with the flow of power to the rear wheels. The BMW M3 with active electronics allows for faster and more exciting driving. Perhaps the Supra can’t be driven like on rails with its chassis geometry and needs a little shaking.

In the end, we drove the same circuit in normal driving with respect to the speed limit. The Supra didn’t really stand out here either. The gearbox always tends to rev too high even in eco mode, so I often used the paddles behind the wheel to change gears. The engine then revved at 90 km/h in eighth gear at just 1,500 revs and kept humming. The consumption indicator reported 7.8 liters, but I would have been bored.

With this Strejd driving style, I tend to notice imperfections like the ugly steering wheel or the excellent and intuitively controlled, but outdated infotainment system written by BMW. In fact, the entire dashboard looks very old-fashioned and ugly to me. You can read more about these practical things, which we check for every test car, under the pictures in the photo gallery. I will not spare the main text with them, because the only reasonable reason to buy a trip to this increasingly disappearing world of automotive luxury is pure sport and driving experience. Dot.
