It’s official: the curtain is closing on the current generation of Toyota’s beloved Supra, but not without a spectacular finale. The much-anticipated Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition has been revealed, promising to be a track-focused marvel for enthusiasts in Europe and Japan. Despite expectations of a “GRMN” suffix, this limited-edition model keeps it simple yet exclusive with a production cap of just 300 units.
Engine Enhancements and Performance Upgrades
The A90 Final Edition might retain the BMW-sourced B58 engine, but its enhancements are anything but ordinary. Originally boasting 382 horsepower, the upgraded engine now delivers a staggering 429 horsepower, and torque has surged from 369 lb-ft to an impressive 420 lb-ft. This model not only surpasses its U.S. counterpart by 47 horsepower but also significantly outdoes the European spec, which was detuned to 335 horsepower to meet emissions standards.
Toyota’s partnership with BMW shines through here, leveraging the B58 engine’s known potential for tuning, a fact well demonstrated by the aftermarket scene. The A90 Final Edition’s power boost is a nod to what many tuning enthusiasts have proven possible, now delivered straight from the factory.
Aesthetic and Functional Enhancements
Beyond the engine bay, the A90 Final Edition boasts a suite of enhancements that blur the line between aesthetics and performance. The model comes equipped with larger 19-inch Brembo brakes up front, an adjustable KW suspension setup, and a sonorous Akrapovič titanium exhaust muffler. It rides on lightweight, TGR-branded wheels—19 inches in the front and 20 inches in the rear—wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres that are 10% wider than those on the standard Supra.
A six-speed manual gearbox remains the sole transmission choice, emphasizing Toyota’s commitment to driving purists. The aerodynamic package on this model is particularly noteworthy, featuring a front spoiler and a rear swan-neck wing made of carbon fibre, front canards, a centre flap, and a removable carbon fibre hood duct for enhanced cooling during track use.
Interior and Limited Availability
Inside, the A90 Final Edition does not skimp on luxury or performance. It features carbon fibre Recaro bucket seats, red seatbelts, and extensive Alcantara coverage, ensuring comfort meets race-ready aesthetics. Toyota’s meticulous attention to detail is evident in every component, from the strengthened front-cowl brace to the tweaked electric power steering and modified camber angles for better grip.
The Future of Supra and Availability
As the A90 Final Edition marks the end of an era, Toyota is not resting on its laurels. The company has hinted at a forthcoming sixth-generation model even as it prepares to conclude production of the current Supra at the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria. The A90 Final Edition is more than a car; it’s a collector’s piece and a bridge to the future of one of the most iconic sports cars in history.
Enthusiasts and potential buyers should note that alongside the A90 Final Edition, Toyota is also launching a partially upgraded Supra 3.0 globally, known as the Lightweight Evo in Europe. This model features enhancements such as chunkier Brembo brakes, reinforced stabilizers, and an Alcantara-wrapped driver’s seat, maintaining the Supra’s reputation for continual improvement.
For those eager to own a piece of this legacy, time and numbers are limited. The A90 Final Edition not only promises exceptional performance but stands as a testament to Supra’s enduring appeal and Toyota’s commitment to innovation and excellence in automotive engineering.
