Toyota Supra vs BMW M2 Competition in evo car pics of the week

Toyota Supra vs BMW M2 Competition in Wales: evo issue 265
The first step was choosing the perfect location. Neither the M2 Competition or new Toyota Supra are track cars, they’re road cars, so we took them to roads that would challenge their chassis as much as their performance, in rural Wales.
Both cars have a relatively small footprint, but the M2 Competition’s taller, fuller body makes it look the bigger car on the road. It’s longer wheelbase and more traditional 2-door saloon design also made it the more practical of the two.
Of course, summer or not, keeping two white cars clean for a shoot in rural Wales was always going to be the biggest task. Our snapper Aston Parrott was too busy “adjusting his camera settings” to help…
It’s always an easier task shooting out of a taller car, but that wasn’t the only reason Aston earmarked the BMW M2 Competition as his winner. But we know the M2 Competition’s technical package is the more focused, but what about the rest? You’ll have to
Despite the hype, this is how the two were mostly ordered, the M2’s more potent six taking advantage not only of its greater power, but also its wider rev band and more aggressive delivery.
