The Toyota Supra has been the centre of attention for a while now because of its promising performance. However, the Chevrolet Camaro has also improved and is ready to take on the Supra. That is why we will host a much-needed Toyota Supra vs. Chevrolet Camaro battle today to see which is the best.
Bear with us till the end as we compare the performance, interior, price, safety, and driver assistance features of the Toyota Supra and the Chevrolet Camaro. But before we do that, let’s learn a thing or two about Toyota and Chevrolet.
Toyota
Toyota has long been celebrated for blending reliability with performance, especially in its line of iconic sports cars. From the legendary Toyota Supra to the nimble GR86, the brand consistently delivers engaging driving dynamics and innovative engineering.
Powered by turbocharged engines and precision-tuned suspensions, Toyota’s sports cars offer thrilling acceleration, sharp handling, and excellent cornering control. The GR (Gazoo Racing) division has further elevated performance standards, bringing track-inspired technology to the streets.
Whether it’s the balanced weight distribution of the GR86 or the 382-hp punch of the Supra, Toyota proves that performance and everyday usability can coexist seamlessly.
Chevrolet
Chevrolet has cemented its reputation in the American sports car scene, with the Corvette and Camaro leading the charge. The Corvette, often dubbed “America’s Sports Car,” boasts impressive performance, with its mid-engine layout, aerodynamic design, and V8 engines.
Meanwhile, the Camaro continues to impress with its muscular design and a range of powerful engines, including the supercharged ZL1. Chevrolet’s sports cars are known for their raw power, styling, and unbeatable price-to-performance ratio, making them a favorite among performance enthusiasts worldwide.
Toyota Supra vs. Chevrolet Camaro: Editor’s POV
We think the Toyota Supra is a pretty obvious answer for the track. But the Camaro will do the job if you want to be the cool guy at car meets. Camaro is good in a straight line; if you’re willing to pay for the V8, the sound will be menacing.
The new GR Supra will smoke the Camaro on a track, but the Camaro ZL1 story is completely different. Let’s lay the stats in front of you and let you be the judge of this Toyota Supra vs. Chevrolet Camaro battle.
Performance
Let’s compare the performance figures of these sports cars:
| Specs | Toyota Supra | Chevrolet Camaro |
| Engine | Inline-6 | V6 |
| Forced Induction | Turbocharged | NA |
| Displacement | 3000cc | 3600cc |
| Transmission | 6-speed M/T | 10-speed A/T |
| Drivetrain | RWD | RWD |
| Power | 382 hp | 355 hp |

| Fuel Economy | 14.4 km/l | 9.8 km/l |
| Weight | 1795 kg | 2010 kg |
As we can see, the Toyota Supra absolutely smashes the Chevrolet Camaro in terms of performance and fuel economy. The Supra has more power, torque, and the same number of cylinders, but the boost is the secret ingredient here.
Interior
Now, we will compare the interiors of both the Supra and the Camaro:
| Specs | Toyota Supra | Chevrolet Camaro |

The Toyota Supra lacks a sunroof and ambient lighting. Apart from that, its interior is better than the Camaro’s in almost every way. The tan leather seats in the Toyota Supra are far superior to the cloth seats in the Camaro.
Safety and Driver Assistance
Now, we will compare the safety and driver assistance features of these two vehicles:
| Specs | Toyota Supra | Chevrolet Camaro |
| Airbags | 8 airbags | 7 airbags |
| Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) | Standard | Standard |
| Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) | Standard | Standard |

Both of these cars are quite similar in terms of safety and driver assistance features. The Toyota Supra has one more airbag than the Chevrolet Camaro. A single airbag may not sound much, but it makes a huge difference in case of an accident.
Price
The Toyota Supra has a starting price of AED 229,900. On the other hand, the Chevrolet Camaro price in the UAE starts from AED 162,300. Considering the price difference, the Camaro is the budget sports car that you will get hated for owning. However, it is a fun car to drive.
The Supra may be more expensive than the Camaro, but it’s worth every penny considering what it offers. Being a Toyota, the Supra won’t make you visit workshops every now and then just because the O2 sensor has some dust in it.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Toyota Supra and the Chevrolet Camaro offer unique driving experiences tailored to performance enthusiasts. The Supra impresses with its modern tech, while the Camaro offers raw power at an affordable price.
