Japanese & German The odd couple

When BMW and Toyota announced their intention of collaborating on four areas about eight years back, one of the areas identified for working together was, in the words of their joint press release, to set-up a feasibility study to define a joint platform concept for a mid-size sports car. Toyota needed an inline-6 engine to re-introduce the Supra while BMW wanted to restrict costs. Although the initial idea was to maximise on the commonality of parts, once the platform with a 1.55 ratio of wheelbase to tread was decided for the roadster and the sports coupe, both went their own ways on further developments including the tune of the engine. The resultant is the fifth-generation GR Supra and the third generation Z4

We drove them both back to back on the same LA Test Drives route and are excited that they may be launched in India sometime in the future
