First Look: 2021 Toyota GR Supra RZ Horizon Blue Edition

Looking at the Horizon Blue Edition for the first time, we can say that there is not much difference done other than the limited edition blue paint job and the black-painted aluminum wheels.

What makes this stand out is actually the power upgrade Toyota conducted, which applies to the whole lineup of Toyota models.

The horsepower has been improved from 340 hp in the conventional type to 387 hp in the Toyota Supra 2021 – which means that the acceleration will improve.

It will now take 4.1 seconds for the updated Supra to run from 0 to 100 kph while it will take 4.3 seconds for the conventional type. The torque output has not been altered.

How the Supra Special Edition RZ looks inside

The Horizon Blue Edition RZ will use the B58 engine while the new SZ and SZ-R variants available for the Toyota Supra lineup will use the 2.0L B48 engine. All variants are mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and it will run on a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout.

To complement the 2021 lineup’s increased power, Toyota added a brace to the front to strengthen the body’s rigidity, 19-inch forged aluminum wheels and retuned suspension for improved cornering.

Exclusive only on the Horizon Blue RZ are the combined Alcantara® and black genuine leather seats. To even further enhance the Horizon Blue experience, it will come with blue stitching on the seats, instrument panel, door trim, steering wheel, etc..
