2020 Toyota Supra Drag Races E92 BMW M3, Destruction Follows

With the Internet being hungry for 2020 Supra material, many of those who are getting their hands on the new Toyota halo car these days aren't wasting any time when it comes to creating content. So, thanks to the social media cafeteria, we can now enjoy a main course involving the Mk V Supra drag racing.

It looks like this Toyota is still in factory form, or at least this was reportedly true at the time of the drag race that brought us here.

The sportscar got together with something that the world wide web would probably label as "another BMW". Jokes aside, the 2020 Supra duked it out with an E92-generation BMW M3.

The V8-animated Bavarian machine is the dual-clutch kind and doesn't seem to pack any major mods (the paddles on this particular car might be an aftermarket job, though).

Alas, the drivers of the beasts decided to skip the visit to the drag strip and duked it out right on the street. As such, the M3 approached the Supra and turned to the good old three-honk stunt to kick off the hostiles.

Note that the 420 horsepower German tool (at least this is the stock muscle number of the naturally aspirated toy) was cast in the role of a camera car.

Speaking of the peak output, dyno tests have shown that the Toyota Supra is actually considerably more powerful than the official ratings, with its BMW-sourced 3.0-liter flat-six churning out up to 390 ponies.

The following months should see a vawe of tech-modded Supras coming our way (aero-massaged examples are already here), so we should get to see plenty of fresh Mk V action.

Now, before you check out the brief battle between these machines, please keep in mind not to use this shenanigan as an example - it's best to head over to the drag strip when the right foot starts itching.
