Would you spend Php 30,000 for an extra 85 hp on the Supra?

MANILA: Having a look at the pace at which the automobile industry is evolving makes us believe that the future is indeed becoming the present. While engineers in the past had to do extensive mechanical work for bumping up the power of an engine, the task has now become much easier thanks to the ECU mapping tech.

For everyone who has already purchased or will be getting the 2020 Toyota GR Supra, there’s good news for you people. Litchfield, a tuning company from the UK has come up with a modified ECU map that makes the engine on the all-new Supra generate good 85 hp more.

A simple ECU remapping has allowed them to extract 420 hp from the 2020 Toyota GR Supra without even touching the engine. As if the 420 horses were still not enough, the tuning company from the UK is working on some bolt-on modifications which will take the maximum power output to 440 to 450 horsepower. How good is that?

Litchfield is yet to announce the price for the new ECU tuning. It is because the tuning company probably is still looking to hit a sweet spot. However, considering the similar mods released by Litchfield in the past, the ECU remapping should be priced around $ 600 or ~Php 31,300.

There's also an exhaust package that will take the total price to $ 1,500 or ~Php 78,300 when purchased alongside the new ECU map. Good 85 hp more for just above Php 30,000 isn't a bad deal. What's your take on this one? Would you be willing to spend the money on the extra 85 horses?

Following the launch of the 2020 Toyota GR Supra in the Philippines, it is for the first time that the Manila Sports Car Club has included the sports icon in its list of sports cars. In case you have always wanted to have a Supra and become a part of the prestige club, the time has arrived for you. Read more about the development here.
