Not sure what the drag coefficient on the supra is, but it certainly has a lower frontal area which you have to consider along with the drag coefficient.

If you had a drag coefficient of .23 on a mini, and .23 on a 7 series, the 7 would still have more drag due to the larger surface.

There's also the 500lbs weight difference, different transmission programming, and I'm not sure what the final drive ratio is on the 3 and supra so they may be different too
