2020 Toyota Supra Does 10s 1/4-Mile, Still On Factory Turbo

Just like the R35 Nissan GT-R, whose reputation owed a lot to the tuner craze that developed around its predecessor, the Mk V Toyota Supra was basically born to be tuned and it's all thanks to the incredible aftermarket rep of the Mk IV. Unlike Nissan's initial attempt to keep tuners at bay, Toyota left a lot of potential on the table to be exploited by aftermarket specialists. And boy, oh boy is this side of the industry moving!

We've talked about plenty of 2020 Toyota Supra tuning adventures to date, from aero kits to higher outputs. And we are now back on the topic to discuss an Mk V that has descended into the 10s quarter-mile arena.

Built by Real Street Performance, an American shop whose Mk IV Supra is Internet-famous, the Mk V that brought us here has managed to deliver a 10.96s quarter-mile run at 125 mph. For the record, the same car had pulled a 12.5s pass at 109 mph in factory form.

As for what happened in between the two passes, you can check out the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.

The best thing about this Supra's gym trim is that the factory turbo has been maintained. In fact, according to the said specialist, the current list of mods fitted to the Japanese toy involves a downpipe, an ECU tune and race fuel, along with drag racing-friendly wheels and tires.

Oh, and it also seems like the crew discovered that removing the seat would save 50 lbs and losing the factory exhaust could help shed an extra 57 lbs, with the team deciding to use this advantage.

Of course, now that the path to a custom turbo is open, that 9s run might not be that far, despite the high-10s aura that currently defines the Toyota.
