LONG
BEACH, Calif., April 3,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Born on the track, the GR Supra
is a testament to Toyota's commitment to motorsports-bred vehicle
development, blending engineering excellence, innovation, and
lessons learned from the most demanding conditions that only racing
can provide. For the 2026 model year, Toyota celebrates this
legendary sports car with the GR Supra MkV Final Edition.
In 2019, Akio Toyoda, aka Morizo,
reintroduced the GR Supra to the world after a 17-year hiatus. Over
the succeeding 6 years, the MkV generation has proven itself from
the track to the city streets. To wear the GR badge, a vehicle must
prove itself worthy of the marque through rigorous testing by
Toyota GAZOO Racing engineers and countless hours on the track with
Toyota's drivers, including Morizo himself, behind the wheel. GR
Supra has achieved success in some of motorsports' most demanding
series, including Formula Drift, Super Taikyu in Japan, and the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
In the spirit of kaizen, or continuous improvement, the GR Supra
has been updated and enhanced each year in the current model cycle.
This "always on" approach to vehicle development provides an avenue
for lessons learned from motorsports to be applied to production
models quickly and efficiently for the benefit of consumers. For
2026, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition aims to deliver a more
integrated experience not only for circuits but also for the long
and winding roads where sports car enthusiasts feel most at home.
Improved braking performance, an updated suspension, increased body
rigidity, optimized tuning, and enhanced aerodynamic performance
inspire confidence and turn up the fun.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition headlines a lineup that also
features the GR Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium grades - all available
with a manual or automatic transmission. Powered by an in-line
six-cylinder turbocharged engine, the GR Supra puts out an
impressive 382 horsepower and 368 lb.-ft. of torque.
Standard performance features include a double joint-type
MacPherson front and multi-link independent rear suspension,
sport-calibrated electronic power steering, and dual rear exhaust
outlets. All models wear high performance Michelin® Pilot® Super
Sport tires for maximum grip of the GR Supra's rear-wheel drive
platform.
The 2026 GR Supra is expected to arrive at Toyota Dealerships in
Spring 2025. Production of the fifth-generation GR Supra will end
Spring 2026.
MkV Final Edition
For 2026, Toyota is introducing the GR Supra MkV Final Edition –
celebrating the GR Supra that was reintroduced in 2019 after
Akio Toyoda put together a small
team to reimagine what we now know as GAZOO Racing's flagship
sports car. Born from hands-on testing at the Nürburgring, the MkV
GR Supra delivers a powerful performance every time the driver gets
behind the wheel.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition offers an elevated driving
experience with unique updates to this special edition.
Differential control and exclusive control maps have been refined
to help improve traction between the tire and the road surface,
reducing understeer through turns. And for better braking control,
larger Brembo brake discs have been added to the vehicle.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition has suspension and chassis
modifications that enhance stability and strengthen the direct
connection to the road. Cornering grip is also increased due to a
revised camber angle of the front and rear wheels which gives
drivers improved cornering stability. Responsive electronically
controlled shock absorbers have been revised and this combines with
a stronger front stabilizer to help improve driving performance. A
heightened sensation of suspension and body integration is achieved
using strengthened rubber bushings for the front control arms and
strengthened rubber mounts for the rear sub-frame while better grip
and control also come with a stronger under-body brace.
Aerodynamic modifications, including a ducktail carbon fiber
rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, and higher front tire spats
further enhance handling, optimizing front/rear aerodynamic balance
and downforce. Meanwhile, the optimized electric power steering
delivers a more direct steering feel and improved control.
The distinctive, bold exterior appearance of the GR Supra MkV
Final Edition is complimented by new 19-inch matte black wheels,
the gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, and gloss
carbon fiber mirror caps. Inside the vehicle, the genuine
leather-trimmed driver's seat is upholstered in Alcantara and
embroidered with the GR logo, while red stitching, red highlights
around the gear shift knob, and red seatbelts accentuate the
interior's sporty feel. Customers can also expect a GR cupholder
cover and a camo car cover with the vehicle.
Inspired by the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 race car that competes in GT4
category races all over the world, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition
will also have a GT4 style pack* option that comes in two new
exclusive matte colors: Burnout** and Undercover**. The style pack
includes a GT4-inspired side graphic on the exterior, a
matte-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, a matte-black
rear Supra emblem, and red mirror caps.
*The GT4 style pack will not be available until Fall
2025.
**Extra-cost color.
High Performance Stand Out
GR Supra's 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine
provides exhilarating performance thanks to powerful torque high in
the rpm range, delivering a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds with the
8-speed automatic transmission (AT) and 4.2 seconds when equipped
with the manual transmission (MT). AT models have a
manufacturer-estimated 22 city/29 highway/25 combined fuel economy
rating helped in part by standard start/stop technology, which
shuts the engine off while the car is at rest.
The AT allows drivers to focus on the throttle and braking –
opening up the possibilities for a thrilling time while driving.
The MT features an Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) programmed
with software that prioritizes sporty performance. When upshifting,
the parameters are tuned to optimize engine torque at the moment of
clutch engagement and release. On downshifts, the software includes
rev-matching for consistent performance. The iMT is set as the
default, but, if the driver prefers, it can be switched off in
Individual Mode.
Drivers can select from Normal, Sport, and Individual modes that
adjust throttle response, suspension damping, and power steering
settings. Additionally, all grades include an Adaptative Variable
Suspension (AVS) with sensors that constantly detect changes in
driving operations and road surface conditions. Solenoid valves
finely control the damping force of the shock absorbers. NORMAL
mode provides a high-level balance between vehicle stability and
supple ride comfort, enabling spirited driving without sacrificing
comfort. SPORT mode realizes a reassuring and flat vehicle posture
with suppressed roll and a more agile steering response.
Driver-Focused Sports Car Inside and Out
The GR Supra is known for its bold and aggressive exterior that
features a wide stance, sharp lines, and its distinct rear spoiler
– providing excellent aerodynamics and performance. Available in
Stratosphere*, Absolute Zero, Nocturnal, and Renaissance Red 2.0,
the 2026 GR Supra will turn heads on the city streets.
On the inside, a refined cockpit design enhances the performance
experience. The cabin's minimalist layout prioritizes functionality
and comfort. The 3.0 grade comes with standard black soft-touch
Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with power adjustment.
The 3.0 Premium grade brings a luxury feel with power adjustable
seats that come with an option of black leather-trimmed seats or a
hazelnut-colored leather trim. Both grades have standard heated
seating.
Modern technology is incorporated effortlessly into the interior
with connectivity and audio options that add a sonic dimension to
the drive in the GR Supra. Supra Connect** comes standard on the
3.0 Premium along with a 12-speaker, 500-watt JBL® Hi-Fi system.
The 3.0 grade can be upgraded to the 12-speaker JBL system with the
available Safety & Technology Plus JBL Package, which includes
Supra Connect.**
*Extra-cost color.
**4G network dependent.
Premium Technology Features
All 2026 GR Supra models come equipped with an 8.8-inch
touchscreen display that can also be controlled through a rotary
touch controller. GR Supra 3.0 grade comes with a 205-Watt,
10-speaker audio system standard, while the 3.0 Premium grade is
equipped with a 12-speaker 500-Watt JBL® Premium Audio System.
Wireless Qi charging is standard on the 3.0 grade equipped with
a manual transmission as well as the 3.0 Premium grade and the MkV
Final Edition. Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility is available
on the 3.0 grade and standard on the 3.0 Premium grade. The 3.0
