Toyota's Performance-Minded Lineup
Toyota is an automaker that's known for building reliable, long-lasting vehicles. This, perhaps more than any other factor, has lead to the success of the company. The Toyota brand is also associated with the very concept of high performance. In addition to their involvement with motorsports through Toyota Racing Development, the automaker has also produced some iconic sports cars over the years. Here are some of Toyota's fastest car models available today.
Toyota's GR86
The Toyota GR86 is a two-door coupe with a sleek and aggressive design. This little sports coupe is powered by a 2.4-liter, naturally aspirated, 4-cylinder engine. This is a boxer-style engine with horizontally-opposed pistons. This setup creates fewer vibrations for smooth and efficient operation. The GR86 produces 228 horsepower with 184 pound-feet of torque.
The GR86 has an improved torque curve for better acceleration. This car gets a circuit-tuned suspension system and power-steering system. It also comes track-tested by Toyota Gazoo Racing.
The Toyota RAV4 Prime
This vehicle making the list may come as a surprise to performance-car enthusiasts. The RAV4 Prime is a crossover SUV. It's also a plug-in hybrid. Those categories are not often associated with quick acceleration and top speed. The RAV4 Prime, however, is currently the second-fastest vehicle in Toyota's lineup. It has a 0-to-60 time of just 5.4 seconds flat.
The RAV4 Prime is powered by a 2.5-liter, Dynamic Force 4-cylinder engine paired with an electric motor. It can produce a combined 302 horsepower with 199 pound-feet of torque. This is the most powerful RAV4 ever produced.
The Toyota GR Supra
The GR Supra is the fastest car currently produced by Toyota. It also has the most aggressive and sporty exterior design yet to match its power and performance. This is a sports coupe that's sure to turn some heads no matter where you go. The GR Supra has an available 3.0-liter, turbocharged, inline-6 engine that can produce a whopping 382 horsepower. The GR Supra also produces an impressive 368 pound-feet of torque.
The GR Supra's engine uses some modern smart technology to achieve those stats. There's the twin-scroll turbocharger to boost the power. There's also variable-valve timing and an electric wastegate.
