Subaru BRZ vs Toyota GR Supra
Verdict
The BRZ is the lighter-on-wallet, more usable choice here: RM249,245, four seats, a 226-litre boot and 6.3-sec 0-100 km/h. The GR Supra asks RM698,000 and gives back far bigger numbers: 383 hp, 500 Nm, 4.4 sec and a 250 km/h top speed. Both are CBU petrol, rear-drive manuals with five-year warranties and seven airbags. For Malaysia, the sting is not just purchase price; the Supra’s RM2,125 road tax is nearly three times the BRZ’s RM767.
Pick the Subaru BRZ if you want a rear-drive manual coupe with four seats, 234 hp and RM767 yearly road tax.
Pick the Toyota GR Supra if you want the harder numbers: 383 hp, 500 Nm and 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds.
