Weighing in at 1547 kgs (3410 lbs) places the Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic in a similar weight category as the 2025 Maserati MCPURA Cielo 3.0 V6 Twin Turbo and the excellent 2025 Ferrari 849 Testarossa, give or take 50kg.

The Toyota Supra shares the same bhp with the 2024 Mercedes S Class 580 e 4MATIC EQ Hybrid Technology (362 bhp)

In terms of pure power the 2998cc 24 valve, Straight 6 engine produces around 382 bhp (284 kW) @ 6500 rpm which is comparable to the 2024 Mercedes S Class 580 e 4MATIC EQ Hybrid Technology (362 bhp) and also the 2024 Toyota Supra GR Lightweight EVO (382 bhp).

Power to Weight:

If you look at both power or torque of the 2023 Toyota Supra in comparison with its weight you get a much more accurate idea of its real world performance.

The 2007 Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 (271.8 bhp per ton) has similar Bhp Per Ton stats as the Toyota Supra.

The Toyota Supra has a power to weight ratio of 246.9 bhp per ton. Bhp per ton figures of the 2023 Supra GR 3.0 Automatic means you're competing with the 2007 Nissan Skyline GT-R R35 (271.8 bhp per ton) and the equally quick 2021 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 V8 (271.8 bhp per ton).

Torque to Weight:

If you agree with the late great Carroll Shelby then arguably an even better indicator of potential performance is Torque!. However, torque isn't the whole story, you also need to compare weight as well for more real world comparisons such as torque per ton.

The Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic generates around 237.8 lb-ft per ton. So if you're looking at what cars perform similarly either on the drag strip or at the traffic lights using torque to weight as a benchmark, then look no further than the 1966 Pontiac GTO 6.4L V8 (262.8 lb-ft per ton) or the similarly performing 2015 BMW 3 Series 335d xDrive LCI Touring F31 (262.7 lb-ft per ton).

The Straight 6 engine of the Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic ensures that, ‘on paper’ at least, accelerates slightly faster than the 3996 Bentley Continental GT 4.0 V8 Turbo Convertible (4.00 secs) and the 2024 Mercedes CLE Class CLE 53 4MATIC+ (4.00 secs).

Quarter Mile time is a close race between the Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic and the Ford Mustang Boss 429

On a longer format for acceleration comparisons the 2023 Toyota Supra can reach a quarter mile in an estimated 13.11 secs with a trap speed around 103.8 mph. Similar performances down the quarter mile drag strip can be found with the the Ford Mustang Boss 429 (13.12 seconds @ 103.8 mph) and a close race between the Renault Megane RS 1.8 Turbo 300 Trophy-R (13.12 seconds @ 103.8 mph) too.

Top Speed:

Some modern performance cars are often artificially restricted particularly when it comes to max speed. 155 mph top speed restrictions are often used as part of the German 'Gentleman's Agreement' for example, so be cautious when using maximum speed figures. The 2023 version of the Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic has a maximum speed of 155mph.

Top Speed of the 2023 Supra equals the Skoda Octavia RS TSI 2.0 Turbo (154 mph)

If maxing out your car on the AutoBahn is your thing and you're wondering what has a similar top end performance to the 2023 Toyota Supra GR 3.0 Automatic then there's the slightly slower the Skoda Octavia RS TSI 2.0 Turbo (154 mph) or how about the impressive BMW 7 Series 750i E38 (154 mph).
