Toyota will stop accepting orders for the A90-generation GR Supra at the end of August, ending its six-year run, but the model will continue to compete in the Supercars series.

Sales of the current Supra have declined, and only the Ford Mustang remains available in the Supercars lineup.
Toyota is releasing limited final editions of the GR Supra for Europe and Japan, including the A90 Final Edition with a 429 hp engine, upgraded suspension, and carbon fiber accents, and the Lightweight Evo with aero and chassis improvements, both marking the end of the current generation. The US will get a Final Edition with chassis tweaks but no power increase. Production is ending, but Toyota plans to continue motorsport involvement and develop a new generation.
Toyota has unveiled two new versions of its iconic GR Supra: the limited-edition A90 Final Edition and the upgraded GR Supra Lightweight EVO. The A90 Final Edition, limited to 300 units, features enhanced power, improved aerodynamics, and advanced suspension for superior handling, marking the culmination of the current generation. Meanwhile, the Lightweight EVO offers refined driving dynamics with improved traction and stability, inspired by motorsport feedback. Both models will be available in Europe from January 2025, showcasing Toyota's commitment to high-performance sports cars.
Toyota has reported that nearly half of all 2023 GR Supras sold have been equipped with a manual transmission, despite the initial lack of availability. This trend is not unique to Toyota, as other automakers like Cadillac and Acura are also experiencing high manual take rates for their sports cars. The increasing popularity of larger vehicles and the impending shift towards electrification may be driving enthusiasts to purchase vehicles with manual transmissions while they still can. This indicates a robust enthusiast market and suggests that the manual transmission may not be dying out just yet.
Toyota's Gazoo Racing division has announced a 45th Anniversary Edition variant of the GR Supra for the 2024 model year, paying tribute to the iconic MkIV. The limited edition build comes in two special colors and features a large rear wing inspired by the famous Supra. The car is powered by a BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six and will be available in both automatic and manual transmissions. Only 900 examples of the variant will be produced, with pricing yet to be announced.
