01 · Core summary

Core summary

Toyota GR Supra

The Toyota GR Supra is a two-seat sports coupe sold in its fifth generation as a Toyota GAZOO Racing model. The current North American range is the 2026 Toyota GR Supra, offered in 3.0, 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition forms. All use a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and rear-wheel drive, with six-speed manual and eight-speed automatic transmissions available in the United States. Toyota lists a 3.9-second 0–60-mph time for the 3.0-liter car and EPA estimates of 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway for both transmissions on the current U.S. model page. The fifth-generation Supra returned for the 2020 model year after the previous generation ended production in 2002. Toyota’s global announcement says production of the current Supra is scheduled to end with the final edition. North American naming differs from Japan and Europe: Toyota USA uses MkV Final Edition, while Toyota’s global release calls its limited model A90 Final Edition.

02 · History & generations

History & generations

The Supra badge first appeared in 1978 on a larger and more powerful version of the second-generation Celica. Toyota identifies the early cars as A40, followed by A60 in 1981, A70 in 1986 and A80 in 1993. The model remained a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports car throughout those four generations and ended its fourth-generation production run in 2002. The fifth-generation GR Supra was unveiled for production in 2019 after a 17-year absence. Toyota describes its return as a project developed through Nürburgring testing and as the first Toyota model under the GR brand-exclusive sports-car approach. The fifth generation evolved through updates for 2020 and 2022, followed by a further 3.0-liter chassis and braking update announced in November 2024. Toyota’s global newsroom states that current-generation production is scheduled to end with the A90 Final Edition, while the U.S. market identifies its 2026 culmination model as the MkV Final Edition.

03 · Body, platform & design

Body, platform & design

The fifth-generation GR Supra uses a compact two-door coupe body with a short 2,470-mm wheelbase and a low center of gravity. Toyota’s design description emphasizes a condensed extreme inline-six, front-engine, rear-wheel-drive sports-car concept, with a 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution. Styling references include the double-bubble roof associated with the Toyota 2000GT and a body whose lamps are positioned inward to make the fenders appear more prominent. The current U.S. car measures 172.5 inches long, 73.0 inches wide and about 51 inches high, with a 97.2-inch wheelbase. Its underbody uses a flat undercover with channels and spats intended to manage airflow. Standard 3.0-liter U.S. versions use staggered 19-inch forged-aluminum wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The MkV Final Edition adds darker exterior detailing and track-oriented aerodynamic and chassis changes; the North American GT4-style package uses distinctive graphics and carbon-fiber mirror-cap details.

04 · Engine & drivetrain

Engine & drivetrain

The current U.S.-market GR Supra uses a 2,998-cc twin-scroll single-turbo inline-six with direct injection. Toyota rates the standard 3.0-liter configuration at 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque in its U.S. product information. Buyers can choose a six-speed manual transmission or an eight-speed automatic transmission, and every current U.S. version drives the rear wheels. Toyota lists a 3.9-second 0–60-mph time for the 3.0-liter model. The chassis combines double-joint MacPherson struts at the front with a multi-link independent rear suspension. Three-liter cars include an active rear sport differential, while adaptive variable sport suspension is part of the equipment range. Toyota’s 2024 global update describes revised differential control, larger Brembo front discs, strengthened braces and bushings, revised damper characteristics, optimized electric power steering and revised camber. Output varies by market and measurement standard: Toyota’s global release lists 387 PS and 500 N·m for the updated regular Supra, while the A90 Final Edition prototype is listed at 435 PS and 570 N·m.

05 · Trim differences

Trim differences

The 2026 U.S. range contains three named grades: 3.0, 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition. The 3.0 includes the turbocharged inline-six, adaptive variable sport suspension and the six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission choice. The 3.0 Premium adds 14-way heated power-adjustable black leather-trimmed sport seats with driver memory and a 12-speaker, 500-watt JBL audio system. The MkV Final Edition adds GR-embroidered headrests, red seatbelts, upgraded performance dampers with adaptive variable suspension and larger front brake calipers and rotors. Toyota lists the North American Final Edition as a limited run of 1,300 units. This is separate from the Japan-and-Europe A90 Final Edition announced by Toyota GAZOO Racing, which was planned as a 300-unit global special edition. Regional grades, equipment, engine ratings and availability therefore differ. The U.S. 2026 model page is the appropriate reference for the three American grades and their listed equipment.

06 · Interior & seating

Interior & seating

The GR Supra has a driver-focused two-seat cockpit with a low seating position, a leather-wrapped tilt-and-telescopic steering wheel and steering-column-mounted paddle shifters on automatic versions. Toyota describes the seats as heated sport seats with deep, power-adjustable side bolsters and high-grip material. The U.S. 3.0 Premium grade uses 14-way heated power-adjustable black leather-trimmed seats with driver-seat memory, while the base 3.0 uses a simpler seat specification. A central Supra Command dial controls key multimedia functions and supports address entry on the navigation system. Current technology includes a digital display, Supra Connect and integrated navigation. Cargo volume is 10.2 cubic feet, and passenger volume is 50.9 cubic feet in the U.S. specification. The MkV Final Edition adds GR-embroidered headrests and red seatbelts in North America. The global A90 Final Edition uses RECARO Podium CF carbon-fiber bucket seats, extensive Alcantara trim, red seatbelts and carbon-fiber scuff plates, showing that interior equipment varies materially by region and edition.

07 · Efficiency & range

Efficiency & range

Toyota’s U.S. 2026 GR Supra page lists estimated fuel economy of 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway for the 3.0, 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition grades. The 2025 U.S. brochure gives the same 23/31/26 city/highway/combined figures for automatic 3.0-liter cars and 19/27/21 for manual cars, indicating that published figures can differ between Toyota web pages, brochures and certification updates. The U.S. specification uses a 13.7-gallon fuel tank and premium fuel. The car’s 10.2-cubic-foot trunk is relatively useful for a two-seat sports coupe, but the model remains optimized around compact dimensions and performance rather than maximum carrying capacity. Fuel-economy figures are U.S.-market estimates; European, Japanese and other regional ratings use different test cycles and should not be directly compared with EPA mpg.

08 · Safety & equipment

Safety & equipment

The current U.S. GR Supra includes a suite of electronic safety and convenience equipment, with detailed availability organized by grade in Toyota’s specification system. Toyota’s public 2026 model page does not present a current NHTSA five-star rating for the GR Supra, and the model does not appear in NHTSA’s published list of 2026 vehicles selected for five-star testing. This means the vehicle should be evaluated using its listed driver-assistance equipment and applicable regulatory data rather than an assumed star result. Toyota identifies features such as automatic high beams, rain-sensing wipers and other safety equipment within the full specification interface, where standard and available equipment are separated by grade. Safety equipment and test results can vary by market because U.S., European and Japanese regulatory programs use different requirements and naming conventions.

09 · Strengths

Strengths

The GR Supra’s strongest attributes are its compact two-seat proportions, rear-wheel-drive layout and inline-six powertrain. Toyota engineered the current generation around a short wheelbase, low center of gravity and 50:50 weight distribution. The 3.0-liter U.S. model combines 382 horsepower with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission, giving buyers a choice between direct driver control and rapid automated shifting. An active rear differential, adaptive suspension and staggered performance tires support the car’s handling mission. The chassis received further structural, brake, steering and aerodynamic development for the 2025-era global update. The model also benefits from a clear motorsport connection through TOYOTA GAZOO Racing and the GR Supra GT4. Its 10.2-cubic-foot trunk gives it more carrying capacity than some similarly focused sports cars, although it remains a specialized two-seat coupe.

10 · Considerations

Considerations

The GR Supra is a two-seat coupe, so rear-passenger accommodation is absent and practical flexibility is limited. Its low roof, compact cabin and performance-oriented seating prioritize driving position over easy entry and broad interior space. Premium fuel is specified for the U.S. powertrain, and the manual-transmission economy estimate is lower than the automatic figure in Toyota’s brochure. The final-production status is central to the 2026 model: Toyota says the current Supra is scheduled to end with a final edition, so future availability will depend on remaining production and inventory. Regional naming and specifications require care. Toyota USA lists a 1,300-unit MkV Final Edition for North America, while Toyota’s global announcement describes a 300-unit A90 Final Edition planned for Japan and Europe. Engine output, equipment, homologation and testing results can therefore differ between markets.

11 · Recommended use

Recommended use

The GR Supra is best suited to drivers seeking a compact, two-seat sports car for spirited road use, weekend touring and occasional track driving. Its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, manual-transmission availability and active rear differential support an involved driving role. The turbocharged inline-six provides strong straight-line performance, while the adaptive suspension and performance tires are intended to serve both road and circuit duties. The Final Edition grades place greater emphasis on track-oriented braking, chassis rigidity, aerodynamic balance and high-grip tires. The car is less suitable for frequent rear-passenger transport, bulky cargo or buyers who prioritize maximum efficiency and all-weather traction. The U.S. model includes a 10.2-cubic-foot trunk, which supports light touring but does not change the vehicle’s fundamentally sports-focused mission.
