There are several key changes, most notable of which being its upgraded 3.0-litre straight-six turbo heart. It now benefits with a new dual-branch exhaust manifold with 6 ports instead of 2 for improved heat management, along with redesigned pistons.

These new hardware sees the compression ratio reduced from 11:1 to 10.2:1, granting a 14 per cent power bump from 335bhp to a beefier 382bhp. Torque remains at 500Nm, but it's now delivered across a wider band between 1,800 and 5,000rpm instead of 1,600 and 4,500rpm prior.

Power still goes to the rear wheels via a ZF-supplied 8-speed automatic, with the power bump and improved torque delivery band now granting a slightly quicker 0-100kph sprint time of 4.1 seconds now ­– a 0.2-second improvement.

Of course, power is nothing without control, and Toyota knows this. To match the power bump, they’ve even added something called a ‘Performance Rod’ to firm up the chassis slightly.

There's also a new set of red-painted brake calipers that’s decked out with the ‘Supra’ badge now present. Apart from this, little else has changed visually from what we saw during the model’s launch last September.
