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.

Freedom or safety for young drivers? UK can and must deliver both, says GEM 11/05/2026 SHARE: Images are for editorial use only. Experts gathering at Young Driver Focus in London on 13 May to press for action, not further delay Young drivers remain disproportionately at risk, with preventable deaths continuing on UK roads International evidence shows graduated driver licensing can cut crashes by up to 40% GEM Motoring Assist will return to the RAC Club, London, on 13 May as headline sponsor of Young Driver Focus 2026, renewing calls for decisive action to improve protection for newly-qualified drivers. Despite years of evidence and advocacy, the UK has yet to introduce a comprehensive system of graduated driver licensing (GDL) - a move GEM and other road safety groups say is costing young lives. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We are long past the point of asking whether we should act. The evidence is overwhelming, and the consequences of delay are measured in lives lost and families devastated.” GDL is a phased approach that allows new drivers to gain experience under lower-risk conditions before progressing to full driving privileges. Common measures include limits on late-night driving and restrictions on carrying same-age passengers during the months after passing the test. International research consistently shows crash reductions of between 20% and 40% where GDL systems are in place. In some regions of Canada, reductions in young driver deaths have exceeded 80%. In the UK, drivers aged 17 to 24 account for around 20% of road deaths, despite making up just 7% of licence holders. Inexperience, distraction and overconfidence remain key risk factors - precisely the issues GDL is designed to address. GEM stresses that a well-designed system supports rather than penalises young people, and a recent TRL review1 found no significant negative impact on access to education, employment or social activity. GEM supports a system that extends structured learning, reduces known high-risk conditions and allows young drivers to build skills progressively and safely. GEM head of road safety James Luckhurst said: “We do many things well in the UK, particularly in driver training, but the current system offers too little structured support once someone passes the test. That’s where the real risk begins. “The choice is simple: continue with a system we know is failing too many young people, or take proven steps that will save lives. Doing nothing is not a neutral position - it is a decision with consequences… and Young Driver Focus offers a chance to translate the latest insight into real-world action.”
