Toyota has revealed a track-honed special edition of the A90 Supra six years after unveiling the model, and it is the last iteration of the sports car before it goes out of production. It gets a heavily revamped chassis, aggressive new styling cues and a race-inspired cockpit.
- Supra A90, the last generation of Supra sports car, debuted in 2019
- It comes with a BMW-supplied 2.0- or 3.0-litre petrol engine
- The Supra Final Edition will be limited to 300 units globally
Supra A90: Akio Toyoda’s passion project
The A90 Supra made its world premiere in 2019 as the fifth iteration of the brand’s flagship sports car. It was jointly developed with BMW, and many common bits were shared with the BMW Z4 roadster. Both cars are built in Austria by Magna Steyr.
Toyota had revealed the Supra name in 1978 and produced four generations of the car over two decades before axing it due to forthcoming emissions targets. Its revival, which happened in 2019 with the A90, was a passion project of the company’s petrolhead chairman, Akio Toyoda. “Even though Toyota had no plans to make a new Supra, just like a lot of other die-hard Supra fans around the world, I secretly wanted to make it,” he had said.
Toyota Supra Final Edition: Unique visual upgrades
The Final Edition is marked by a purposeful, track-flavoured styling overhaul headlined by a chunky carbon-fibre rear spoiler, wind-cheating canards and a sizeable cooling vent on the bonnet that signals the heavy power increase.
The cabin features carbon-fibre Recaro buckets trimmed in Alcantara – red on the driver’s side – as well as carbon-fibre trim elements and red seatbelts to make it stand out from the standard Supra.
Toyota Supra Final Edition: Several mechanical upgrades
The standard A90 Supra comes with the option of a 2.0-litre four-cylinder or a 383hp, 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine supplied by BMW, paired with either a manual or automatic gearbox. And the run-out A90 Final Edition, limited to just 300 units globally, is based on the range-topping 3.0-litre model but with power output boosted to a whopping 435hp – more than that of a Porsche 911 Carrera.
Toyota has not revealed what those increases have done for performance, but we do expect the uprated Supra to have a 0-100kph time of under 4 seconds. The power boost comes from revisions to the airflow system, a new low-back-pressure exhaust catalyst and ECU mapping tweaks. The Supra also gets a new baffle plate in the oil pan to stop oil starvation in track use, added cooling measures and an Akrapovič backbox for a “powerful engine sound”.
The car has uprated brake pads and clamped drilled discs. It also borrows adjustable KW dampers and a strengthened rear subframe from the Supra GT4 track car. The final edition is fitted with new Michelin PS 2 tyres, which are 10 percent wider than those on the standard version.
Toyota has also mildly tweaked the standard 3.0-litre Supra for the final phase of production, giving it subtle styling tweaks and an optimised differential. While 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”.
