Toyota has officially unveiled the GR Supra A90 Final Edition, marking the last chapter of the fifth-generation Supra. Limited to just 300 units across Europe and Japan, this exclusive model brings significant performance upgrades, aggressive aerodynamics, and a hefty price tag nearly doubling the standard model. But is it worth the premium? Let’s break it down.
Power Boost and Performance Upgrades
Unlike BMW’s S58 engine used in the M3 and M4, the Supra A90 Final Edition continues with the tried-and-tested B58 turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six. However, Toyota has given it a significant power boost, increasing output from 382 hp to 429 hp. Torque also sees a jump, rising from 369 lb-ft (500 Nm) to 420 lb-ft (570 Nm). This makes the Final Edition the most powerful Supra with this engine to date, even surpassing any BMW application.
To handle the added power, Toyota equips the car with a set of bigger Brembo brakes, an Akrapovič titanium exhaust for a sharper exhaust note, and an adjustable KW suspension system. Additionally, the Final Edition gets staggered wheels, with 19-inch alloys in the front and 20-inch ones in the rear, wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires that are 10 percent wider for improved grip.
Aerodynamics and Lightweight Components
Toyota has also focused on aerodynamics to enhance track performance. The Final Edition features a new aero pack, including a carbon fiber front splitter and a striking rear swan-neck wing for increased downforce. The hood duct, also made of carbon fiber, is removable, allowing for better cooling on track days.
Inside, the driver is greeted by carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats with red seatbelts, wrapped in Alcantara for a premium racing feel. The Supra GT4’s aluminum rear subframe mount adds to the structural integrity of the car, making it track-ready straight from the factory. The Final Edition is exclusively available with a six-speed manual transmission, reinforcing Toyota’s commitment to driving enthusiasts.
Exclusive and Expensive
Exclusivity comes at a price. In Germany, the Supra A90 Final Edition costs a staggering €142,800—almost twice the price of the standard six-cylinder model, which starts at €73,250. In France, the price is even higher at €144,000, and interested buyers must win a lottery to secure one.
For comparison, a fully loaded BMW M4 Competition xDrive is still more affordable than the Final Edition Supra, and even a Porsche 911 Carrera T starts at €141,700 in Germany. If buyers are willing to shop for used performance cars, a Ferrari 458 or an Audi R8 V10 also fall within the same price range.
A Proper Farewell, But Is It Worth It?
With increasingly strict emissions regulations in Europe, this could be one of the last Supras of its kind. While the price may seem excessive, the combination of exclusivity, upgraded performance, and track-focused enhancements make the Final Edition a collector’s dream.
As Toyota has yet to announce a similar version for the U.S. market, an ultra-expensive swan song for American buyers is likely on the horizon. Whether it’s worth the price is subjective, but for die-hard Supra fans, this Final Edition might just be the ultimate farewell.
