Toyota has unveiled the limited-edition Final Edition to mark the end of the iconic Supra A90. With only 300 units to be sold in Europe and Japan, this model is not just a farewell but a showcase of the Supra’s ultimate performance capabilities. However, the price tag of 142,800 euros (about $154,000) has raised eyebrows, as it nearly doubles the cost of the standard Supra inline 6 model. In France, buyers can only purchase it through a lottery due to its rarity and symbolism.
This pricing has sparked considerable debate. For the same amount, customers could opt for competitors like the BMW M4 Competition or Porsche 911 Carrera, which offer similar performance and prestige. This pricing strategy contrasts with the Supra’s image, which has traditionally been more accessible to enthusiasts. There are concerns that this shift in pricing might tarnish the Supra’s reputation as a more attainable performance car.
Enhanced Powertrain for Peak Performance
The Supra Final Edition isn’t just about the exterior; the powertrain also receives a major boost. The B58 engine, which powers the standard Supra, has been upgraded, delivering a substantial increase in output—from 387 to 434 horsepower, with torque rising to 58.1 kgf·m. This makes it the most powerful variant of the B58 engine ever produced. Along with this power increase, the car is equipped with Brembo 4-piston front brakes, an Akrapovic titanium exhaust system, and a KW adjustable suspension, making it track-ready and performance-focused.
To further enhance driving dynamics, the Supra Final Edition comes with Michelin PS Cup 2 tires and exclusive Gazoo Racing wheels (19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear) designed for extreme handling. The car also features several aero upgrades, including a carbon front spoiler, a swan-neck rear wing, and a bonnet duct. The latter is designed to be removed for improved heat dissipation during track use, further emphasizing the model’s track-focused capabilities.
A True Enthusiast’s Swansong
The GR Supra Final Edition follows the tradition of high-performance models released just before their discontinuation. Similar to models like the Nissan GT-R35, this special edition maximizes performance, making it a fitting send-off for the Supra A90. While these models are often targeted at enthusiasts, they’re not typically practical for daily driving. With features like weight reduction and specialized aero parts, the Final Edition is designed with track performance in mind, which may limit its appeal to mainstream buyers.
A Collector’s Dream: The Last Supra for a Lucky Few
The Final Edition will be available exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission, adding to its appeal for driving purists. It also features an aluminum rear subframe mount derived from the Supra GT4 racing car, further enhancing its racing pedigree. Inside, the car boasts Recaro carbon bucket seats finished in Alcantara, with red seat belts, reinforcing the limited edition nature of the model.
With only 300 units available, the Supra Final Edition has quickly become a highly sought-after collector’s item. Although Toyota has not officially confirmed the release of this configuration in North America, enthusiasts are hopeful that a version tailored for the U.S. market will be unveiled soon. Fans worldwide eagerly await to see if the Supra Final Edition will truly close the chapter on this legendary model with the fitting farewell it deserves.
