In a significant update, Toyota has unveiled the final details and an impressive array of photos for two limited edition models of the GR Supra aimed at the European and Japanese markets: the A90 Final Edition and the Lightweight Evo. As the iconic sports car prepares for its farewell, these models promise to deliver an exhilarating driving experience, showcasing the pinnacle of performance and design before the GR Supra bids adieu.
Both the A90 Final Edition and Lightweight Evo are strictly limited to just 300 units across Japan and Europe. These exclusive models come equipped with a more powerful engine, enhanced suspension, improved brakes, and an abundance of carbon fiber components, ensuring a thrilling ride that’s hard to forget. The Lightweight Evo variant also features subtle aerodynamic and chassis tweaks, making it a worthy contender in its final year on the market.
The A90 Final Edition elevates the performance stakes with an upgraded version of the BMW Z4’s turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine. It now produces an impressive 429 horsepower (320 kW / 435 PS) and 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) of torque. This significant power boost includes enhancements such as a revised air intake, low-back-pressure catalyst, and tuned engine controls, resulting in an increase of 94 horsepower (70 kW / 95 PS) and 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) compared to the standard GR Supra.
To ensure optimal performance during track sessions, the A90 Final Edition also features a baffle plate in the oil pan for even oil distribution, enhanced cooling systems, and an advanced active differential. Additionally, the Akrapovic titanium exhaust system is designed to enhance the auditory experience, making every drive more exhilarating.
The A90 Final Edition boasts a chassis setup inspired by the GR Supra GT4 racecar, featuring a KW suspension with adjustable dampening for customized performance. Toyota Gazoo Racing has fortified the front and rear stabilizers along with other suspension components, while increasing the camber angle of the wheels, all aimed at achieving superior handling dynamics. The vehicle rides on lightweight 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels, fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires for exceptional grip and traction.
Although the GR Supra may not adopt the GRMN moniker as speculated, the A90 Final Edition delivers an impressive aesthetic with standout features including a carbon fiber swan neck rear spoiler, a vented hood, a refined splitter with canards, and dual tailpipes that create a distinctive afterburner-like effect. Inside, the cabin is adorned with carbon fiber Recaro Podium CF bucket seats upholstered in Alcantara, providing a race-inspired ambiance. The driver’s seat is tailored in red, complementing the center console and seatbelts, while the passenger side features a sleek black finish with Alcantara and carbon fiber accents.
Alongside the A90 Final Edition, Toyota has introduced the Lightweight Evo, which presents a series of refinements for its final year in global markets including Japan, Europe, and Australia. This model, also known as the “Track Edition,” receives aerodynamics and chassis upgrades that enhance its performance capabilities. Exterior improvements include a new carbon fiber ducktail spoiler and updated front fender vents, both engineered to optimize aerodynamics.
Equipped with 19-inch forged aluminum wheels in matte black and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, the Lightweight Evo ensures superior grip on the road. Inside, the vehicle features Alcantara upholstery with red stitching, adding a touch of elegance to its sporty design.
The Lightweight Evo’s suspension system has been improved with revised settings for electronically-controlled shock absorbers, as well as strengthened rubber bushings and mounts for increased rigidity. These modifications result in enhanced handling and improved traction with a new active differential control that reduces understeering. The turbocharged 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine carries over from previous models, generating 382 hp (285 kW / 387 PS) and 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque, available with either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.
For consumers in North America, the 2026 GR Supra lineup will feature the 3.0 and 3.0 Premium trims, along with a special Final Edition model exclusively for the U.S. While this edition does not include any power enhancements over the standard 3.0, it boasts a revised chassis setup and additional aerodynamic components for a sportier driving experience.
Ordering has commenced for the complete GR Supra lineup in Europe, and Japan has also opened its orders, although the lottery for the limited A90 Final Edition has already concluded. As production of the A90 GR Supra nears its end, Toyota has assured fans that the vehicle will continue to participate in various motorsport activities. Originally launched in 2019, the GR Supra has undergone minor updates in 2020 and 2022. While a specific release date for the next generation has yet to be confirmed, Toyota has already signaled that a new iteration of the GR Supra is on the horizon, so enthusiasts need not despair just yet.
In summary, the Toyota GR Supra A90 Final Edition and Lightweight Evo offer thrilling performance, luxurious features, and a fitting tribute to a beloved sports car as it prepares to exit the market.
