Manhart Gives The Toyota Gr Supra A Power Boost

Manhart gives the Toyota GR Supra a power boost

Manhart Performance founder Christoph Erfurt holds a simple ethos for his company: "We turn good cars into very special cars." For 2020, Manhart launched a new program that attempts to do just that with the Toyota GR Supra. 

Manhart has upgraded the Supra to have more power, better handling, and some extra style points. The turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 under the hood originally makes 335 horsepower and 365 lb-ft of torque, but with Manhart's MHtronik powerbox, electronic control unit (ECU) remapping, and a new exhaust system, the Supra is said to produce 440–450 horsepower and 479 lb-ft of torque.

The 20 are among the 54 governments that imposed bans or other restrictions after the disaster that followed a major earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
