Toyota crowns the conclusion of the A90 model generation of its GT sports car Supra with two special editions. With over 400 HP, the limited Final Edition is a disguised race car.

Toyota is expanding the model range of the GR Supra with two special editions. Both are supposed to be sportier than the standard models—albeit in different ways. So far, the 3.0-liter straight-six from technology partner BMW has delivered a maximum of 250 kW/340 hp in EU countries. In the A90 Final Edition, Toyota increases its output to 324 kW/441 hp and raises the torque to 571 Newton meters (approx. 1873 Newton ft). Instead of an automatic, a manual transmission is responsible for the appropriate gear ratio.

The further developed lightweight version GR Supra Lightweight EVO, on the other hand, is aimed at purists. Not more horsepower, but rather a classic manual transmission as well as chassis and aerodynamics adjustments are intended to help the Japanese GT sports car to a more dynamic approach. The weight advantage, 15 kilograms compared to the standard model and 20 kilograms less than the A90 Final Edition, remains manageable despite the name: 1,575 kilograms is still quite a lot. We have been able to test how the two special models drive on the Circuito de Velocidad racetrack located northwest of Barcelona.

300 Units Worldwide

First of all: Anyone considering the purchase of one of the two special editions must not only put 142,800 euros (166.062,12 USD) on the table for the A90 Final Edition but also be quick. Because Toyota has limited it to 300 units worldwide. In Germany, only a small remaining contingent is available. The lightweight version, on the other hand, is available from 78,950 euros (91.810,96 USD).

Toyota's sports division—Gazoo Racing or GR for short—has given the A90 Final Edition's Bavarian heart plenty of pulse for the extra power. Adapted intake paths and a sports exhaust system with lower back pressure from Slovenian specialist Akrapovič help with easier breathing in and out. Additionally, the Japanese engineers intervened in the engine management and completely reprogrammed it. This performance boost is enough for a top speed of 275 km/h (approx. 171 mph). The 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph) mark is reached from a standstill in 4.3 seconds.

Close to a Race Car

The shock absorbers are also supplied by KW, as with the pure GT4 racing version of the Supra. Whether every customer will regularly adjust the 16 rebound and 12 compression levels remains to be seen. On the racetrack, in any case, the super Supra drives close to a race car. The carbon bucket seats, lined with thin light red padding, provide not only a motorsport flair but also stable lateral support. This is needed when the 265 mm (approx. 10 inches) wide front and 285 mm (approx. 11 inches) wide rear semi-slicks from Michelin build up grip.

The centrifugal forces press the driver firmly into the side bolsters of the seats. The side pads at knee height are also useful. A Brembo braking system with massive 395-millimeter (approx. 15 inches) discs at the front axle and 345-millimeter (approx. 13 inches) discs at the rear is beyond reproach. Even after several fast laps, it decisively decelerates the final fury. When downshifting, the Japanese car automatically blips the throttle. This not only sounds sporty but also ensures that the driven rear wheels do not lock when engaging a lower gear.

If one is so potent, it should also be visible. The external extras include a carbon front spoiler, a sporty front apron, and a rear wing in the style of the GR Supra GT4 race car. All developed in Toyota's own wind tunnel, once built by the Formula 1 factory team.

The Lightweight EVO also drives quite sportily. Its steering is more direct than the production models, just like the Final Edition. The standard Michelin sports tires offer less grip, reducing the possible cornering speeds. Aside from the power difference, the most noticeable aspect is that the smaller brakes don't bite quite as forcefully.

Standard Sprint in 4.6 Seconds

The maximum torque of 500 Newton meters allows for powerful acceleration even at moderate engine speeds. The standard sprint to 100 km/h (approx. 62 mph) is achieved in 4.6 seconds; the top speed is 250 km/h (approx. 155 mph). The seats are significantly less radically tuned for racing and remain pleasantly comfortable. Getting in and out is also easier.

If you are looking for a sports car for everyday use and excursions to the racetrack, the Lightweight EVO is a good choice. The high price and the limited quantity of the sportier A90 Final Edition will likely spare most interested buyers the agony of choice.
