Papadakis
While the Papadakis Racing Rockstar Energy Drink Toyota GR Supra that competes in the 2020 Formula DRIFT Pro class with champion driver Fredric Aasbo cannot be on the SEMA Show floor this year, it is primed and ready for racing as part of Toyota’s 2020 SEMA360 showcase presentation.

Toyota debuted four vehicles today on SEMA360, and will follow with more during the coming weeks.

While the Papadakis Racing Rockstar Energy Drink Toyota GR Supra that competes in the 2020 Formula DRIFT Pro class with champion driver Fredric Aasbo cannot be on the SEMA Show floor this year, it is primed and ready for racing as part of Toyota’s 2020 SEMA360 showcase presentation.

Papadakis Racing has earned championships and achieved records across several sport-compact racing disciplines. When Toyota announced the return of the Supra sports car nameplate to the model lineup, they were one of the first to modify the Supra’s 2988cc B58 inline six-cylinder engine for racing, specifically for Formula DRIFT. 

The stout B58 powerplant produces 382 hp and 368 lb.-ft. of torque, and when combined with the all-new GR Supra platform, the package gave the team a solid foundation for a formidable drift racer. Focused on pushing the new engine’s performance limits, the team tore down the engine, reworked the head with help from Portflow Design, and added a package of competition-level components with an eye on increasing performance without sacrificing reliability.

The long list of upgrades includes a BorgWarner EFR 9280 turbocharger with dual TiAL Sport MV-R 44mm wastegates; AEM fuel pumps, fuel regulator, filter; AEM CD-7 dash; Injector Dynamics fuel injectors; BC forged steel connecting rods; custom 11-to-1 compression pistons from JE Pistons; Supertech Performance valvetrain; Kelford Cams exhaust cam; Mountune 3D printed aluminum intake manifold; and a Full Race turbo manifold. When all was said and done, Papadakis Racing nearly tripled output to a pavement with 1,033 hp and 908 lb.-ft. of torque.

“The Papadakis Racing team simply did wonders with the new GR Supra; I can’t believe how seriously they worked the motor. They designed and engineered what is proving to be a very competitive, super powerful and great sounding Formula DRIFT racer,” said Ed Laukes, group vice president – Toyota Division Marketing. “As with their previous Toyota race cars, this team knows what it takes to succeed, and their hard work is paying off at the track.”

Driver Fredric Aasbo put the No. 151 GR Supra on the top of the box in its competition debut at the 2020 season opener, and is currently in contention for the championship title. The season finale will be held November 20-22, in Irwindale, California.

Papadakis Racing documented the build with a series of engine and race car build videos on YouTube and streamed an engine build live from the Toyota booth at the 2019 SEMA Show.

Tacoma
Tacoma
The 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine Overland-Ready Tacoma was introduced today as part of Toyota’s 2020 SEMA360 Showcase.

The Overland-Ready Tacoma, created by 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine, is the ultimate outdoor lifestyle rig featuring a slew of off-road performance upgrades that align with the Tacoma’s “go anywhere now” personality and the rising popularity of overlanding adventure.

“The word ‘overlanding’ may be a new word to some, but it’s become increasingly popular this year as more and more people are exploring roads off the beaten path with friends and family,” said Ed Laukes, group vice president – Toyota Division Marketing. “We were excited when the 4WD Toyota Owner Magazine editors shared their idea for this project, and we naturally thought it would be cool to include the build in our SEMA360 presentation.”

The editors started with a Tacoma TRD Pro, teaming up with Ryan O’Connell and ShmellFab to create this build. Off-road upgrades include: ToyTec BOSS Aluma 2.5 Series coilovers, shocks and add-a-leaf package; Toyota E- locker locking differential; CBI Offroad Fabrication lower control arms, front to rear aluminum and steel skid plates, and DOM steel tube rock sliders with top plates and CBI’s ‘kickout’ design; Camburg Engineering upper control arms, and MaxTrax MKII traction boards. 

On the power side, the team added a Magnuson Superchargers Roots-type TVS1900 blower, increasing output to 370 hp and 330 lb.-ft. of torque.

Other components include: BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 255/85R16 tires mounted on 16x8-in. matte black 704 Trail Series from Method Race Wheels, CBI Offroad Fabrication T3 aluminum front bumper and T3 Swing Arm

Series steel rear bumper with dual swingouts, a ComeUp SEAL Gen2 9.5rs winch, aluminum CBI Offroad Fabrication Prinsu Cab Rack fitted with a 40-in. SR Pro LED series light bar and four LED Scene Lights from Rigid Industries, a 20-in. Rigid Industries SR Pro light bar in the front bumper, a Truck Covers USA locking cargo bed cover and rack system and a Yakima SkyLine bed rack. 

Finally, to ensure overlanding explorers have what they need for days off the grid, the editors fitted the Overland Tacoma with a PowerTank PT10 air compressor, a four-gallon Rotopax fuel storage container, a two-gallon Rotopax water storage container, a Hi-Lift jack, and a Yakima SkyRise cargo bed tent. 

Toyota also partnered with social media influencers chef Adam Glick and “Last Line of Defense” on YouTube as they take the 4WD Overland-Ready Tacoma out on the road for an adventure.
