The Toyota GR Supra is nearing its end, especially in Europe, with the automaker unveiling a more powerful version called the A90 Final Edition. This farewell model features enhanced aerodynamics and a BMW-sourced 434-horsepower inline-six engine, but it comes with a hefty price tag. In Germany, where the standard GR Supra 3.0 is priced at €73,250 (approximately $80,000), the A90 Final Edition nearly doubles the cost, going for €142,800 ($155,821).
Significant Price Tag
This significant increase places the A90 Final Edition at €14,100 more than the base Porsche 911 Carrera in Germany and at a similar price point as the performance-focused 911 Carrera T. Moreover, the special Supra is pricier than the BMW M4, which starts at €97,100 and has around 40 more horsepower due to its twin-turbocharged engine compared to the single-turbo engine of the A90.
A Collector’s Item
However, potential buyers should not dismiss the six-figure price just yet. The A90 Final Edition delivers higher performance than any other Toyota sports car made before and will become a collector’s item. According to Carscoops, only 300 units will be available, with half allocated to Japan and the other half to Europe. Acquiring one will not just depend on finances, as a lottery system will select the owners. While this may seem amusing for other models, the Final Edition stands out due to its appealing mechanical and aesthetic upgrades.
Performance and Features
The A90 Final Edition boasts nearly 100 more horsepower than the German Supra 3.0 model, increasing from 335 hp to 434 hp. The model is equipped solely with a manual transmission and matches the speed of the automatic base variant, but its top velocity climbs from 155 to 171 miles per hour, placing it firmly in Porsche territory. This power boost comes from a revamped intake system, a more efficient exhaust catalyst, and a refined ECU, along with improved oil lubrication for high-speed handling.
Upgraded Suspension
Toyota also designed a new suspension system for the A90 Final Edition, replacing the adaptive dampers found in standard models with KW coilovers that allow adjustments for rebound, compression, and camber. To maximize these enhancements, the new Supra features staggered 19-inch and 20-inch wheels paired with wider tires. Furthermore, the car includes aggressive aerodynamic elements such as a swan-neck rear spoiler, an aggressive front splitter, and a removable hood vent that significantly enhance downforce.
Distinctive Interior
Inside, the cabin benefits from specially designed carbon fiber Recaro Podium bucket seats—red for the driver and black for the passenger—and a sturdy chassis brace beneath the rear hatch. These features underscore Toyota’s commitment to performance and aesthetics in this special edition Supra.
Future of the GR Supra in the US
Currently, Toyota has yet to announce any specific plans for a celebratory version of the GR Supra’s farewell in the U.S. Although the BMW Z4, its platform counterpart, may be discontinued, it does not imply that the Supra will follow suit. There is hope that the now-iconic sports car will remain part of the market, as it continues to be one of the most intriguing options available today.
