Toyota has already confirmed a six-speed manual for the Supra - now we get the nuggety details
#SAVETHEMANUAL. That's a hashtag we at PH can get behind, so get Tweeting Twitterati. Now. Because the manual is back in vogue it seems. We've only just been blessed with news that Porsche is making abased on the 992 Turbo S, with rear-wheel drive and a self-shifter, and, if you haven't got the big bucks to bag one of those, here's something for us hoi polloi living nearer to the bread line. A Toyota GR Supra with an H-pattern gate. Is it Christmas already? Must be.
Right, what I deduce from this is that the intelligent control system is being programmed with new software. Blimey, this is BIG. The realising of science fiction - the Borg in Star Trek - because owners will be plugged into the collective Toyota mainframe and updated. Pah! Beat that, Musk. This trumps Tesla's over-the-air car updates.
As for the gear lever, Toyota states 'This was not simply a matter of changing one shift lever for another; consideration had to be given to ensuring the gear knob was optimally placed for precise, rapid and rewarding gear changes.' Apparently, there wasn't enough clearance between the gear lever and the dashboard, so some reengineering was required.
