2021 Toyota Supra meets the BMW M2 CS: the Mk4's real successor — Jason Cammisa on the Icons — Ep. 01 - Hagerty Media

What makes a Supra, a Supra? Our veteran automotive journalist Jason Cammisa asks that very question as he pits the updated Mk5 A90 Supra against its mechanical twin, the BMW Z4 M40i as well as the Mk5’s predecessor, the A80 Mk4 Supra Turbo.

Cammisa also heads to Toyota’s CALTY Design Research Center to visit the magnificent FT-1 concept car that gave life to the Supra — where he chats with Kevin Hunter, its designer, about the challenges in grafting the FT-1’s design language onto the Z4’s hard points.

The surprise star of the video is the 2021 BMW M2 CS. On paper, it would seem to have nothing to do with the Supra, but in fact, there’s an argument to be made that it’s an even better Supra than the Supra itself.
