Verdict

The Ford Mustang is RM106,729 cheaper at RM461,271, yet brings four seats, a 408-litre boot and a 2,720-mm wheelbase that make it the more usable weekend coupe. Its RM641 annual road tax is also far below the GR Supra’s RM2,125. The Toyota GR Supra answers with 335 hp and 500 Nm against 313 hp and 432 Nm, plus a quoted 4.3-second 0-100 km/h time, adaptive suspension and an electronically controlled limited-slip differential. For the Malaysian buyer chasing pace and driver aids, the Supra earns its premium; for occasional rear passengers and luggage, the Mustang is the sensible indulgence.
