[Aika Auto Overseas New Car Original]
Previously, we reported that Toyota SUPRA is expected to launch a manual version, and this news was further confirmed recently. Recently, there have been overseas media reports that the Toyota SUPRA manual version is expected to be released overseas in April and will be officially mass-produced in July this year. As for whether the manual transmission SUPRA will be introduced into China, it is still unknown.
It is reported that the manual transmission will only be equipped on the six-cylinder engine model, and the four-cylinder engine model with the code name B48 will follow the ZF's 8-speed manual transmission. Overseas, the BMW Z4 is just the opposite, the Z4 is only a four-cylinder engine version of the model equipped with manual transmission. This also further differentiates the BMW Z4 from the Toyota SUPRA in overseas markets.
At present, there is no news that the manual Toyota SUPRA will be introduced into the country, and if it is introduced in China, the price of the six-cylinder version is expected to decline. However, considering the domestic car environment and usage habits, the probability of the manual transmission of Toyota SUPRA being introduced into China is very small.
