MKV Toyota Supra Master Thread

[F1 Silver Arrows]

Perhaps, but I don't see it happening as an ICE nor within a year or two of A90 production ending. I can only see it happening as an EV nearing 2030

Nope, it's a hybrid.

Pure EV is not happening for the A100.

I rented a Supra for a business trip this week and took it to some mountain roads on the day off.

I got humiliated by a GR86 😂 Never expected to actually experience Initial D in real life.

Damn, Final Edition already, making 435 PS/430 hp and 570 NM/420 lb-ft, basically the same as their Supra GT4, other modifications are also inspired by their GT4 race car.

This car is incredible.

Toyota truly went all out with this car. They really knocked it out of the park with the entire A90 project, from start... to finish...

This is one of my most favorite Toyotas of all time, we can thank BMW for this amazing collaboration as well.

Sadly I think this means the GRMN version is cancelled.

Pretty sure this IS the GRMN version it's just called Track Edition instead

With the other A90s being seriously underrated from the get-go, 430 horsepower will be pretty crazy in a <3400 lb car.

Yeah this is basically the go-to mods for any Supra owner that goes to the track, (upgraded bushings, chassis strengthening, coilovers, more power) with the theoretical benefit of being backed by warranty on all those parts.

Wether Toyota actually honours the warranty or gives owners trouble for tracking these cars though is another matter.

More Than Half of Toyota Supras Sold In 2024 Were Manuals​

While total US manual Supra sales last year amounted to about 1/6th the number of cars Toyota sells in a day, it's not nothing.​

Toyota introduced the manual-transmission GR Supra partway through 2023, finally putting a clutch pedal in its flagship sports car. It proved relatively popular, accounting for 43% of Supras sold in the US in 2023. For 2024, the manual take rate went up by quite a bit—Toyota tells us 65% of Supras sold here in 2024 were manuals.

Of course, with 2,615 Supras sold in the US total in 2024, it only amounts to 1,700 cars. Not that much in the greater scheme of things, given that Toyota sold 6,391 cars per day in the US last year. Still, it's an increase over 2023, with 1,140 manuals of the 2,652 Supras total.

The model mix for the Supra also changed for 2024, with the four-cylinder, automatic-only base model ending production partway through the year. Perhaps if the four-cylinder had been on sale a bit longer, the overall manual take rate for all Supra models would've been lower. It'll be interesting to see how things pan out next year.

More popular than the manual Supra was the manual GR86. Toyota tells us 53% of the 11,426 of GR86s sold were stick-shifts, putting the number at 6,056. The manual Tacoma did decently well, too. Despite only accounting for 2% of sales, or 3,856 units out of 192,813 Tacomas sold.

Toyota announced a "Final Edition" Supra for Japan and Europe last year, with more power, fancier suspension, and a six-speed manual as the only available transmission. We know that the Supra's mechanical twin, the BMW Z4, is ending production outright, but Toyota hasn't announced what's next for the Supra in America. Hopefully those hints about a Mk6 Supra portend a real car coming soon.

We are now hearing Toyota/Mazda collab Supra rumors again...hope that's not true. Mazda has an I6 but it's a big downgrade from B58.

 

[carguy420]

Things must have been real slow at best car's office for them to whip up this nonsense lol.

Well what would be an upgrade/equal to the B58 anyways lol

Well they say it will be newly developed not the ones currently available

 

[ssun30]

One thing is for sure. Toyota can't put a 4 cylinder in the Supra and expect it to sell, especially when they know it didn't work in the current gen.

 

[NomadDan]

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the rumors, but from what I gather, it would be a Toyota developed platform that is shared with Mazda. So a Supra, LC+RC replacement, and maybe the IS would use a Toyota platform. Mazda 6 four door coupe and Vision (RX7?) would also use it. I think Toyota would use their own engine, whether that be a V6, I6, or V8.

My unsubstantiated opinion is that the next GR86 could be on a Miata platform.

Your understanding seems correct to me.

I'd believe that if Mazda wasn't taking the Chinese 6e global
