Toyota GR Supra retires with 429bhp, track-honed special edition


The power steering has been made more direct, too, and the camber axle has been changed front and rear to improve grip. That’s in addition to the fitment of new Michelin PS 2 tyres that are 10% wider than the standard items. 

The Final Edition is marked out by a purposeful, track-flavoured styling overhaul that’s headlined by a chunky carbonfibre rear spoiler, wind-cheating canards and a sizeable cooling vent on the bonnet that signals the heavy power increase.

The cabin gets carbonfibre Recaro buckets trimmed in Alcantara – red on the driver’s side – as well as carbonfibre trim elements and red seatbelts to mark it out from the standard Supra. 

Toyota hasn’t announced how many examples of the Final Edition will come to the UK, nor how much it will cost, but it will no doubt command a healthy premium over the outgoing standard car, which topped out in the high-£50,000s. 

The standard 3.0-litre Supra, meanwhile, has been lightly tweaked for the final phase of production, gaining subtle styling tweaks and an optimised differential.

It’s due in various global markets from spring next year, but Toyota hasn’t clarified exactly where, nor for how long it will be available.

The firm said that although the Final Edition will be the final road-going iteration of the Supra, Toyota “will continue to hone the Supra through motorsports activities going forward”.
