New High-performance Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition Announced
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing showcases its motorsport technology and know-how with the creation of the GR Supra A90 Final Edition. The result is a unique high-performance, high-specification GR Supra that has been optimally tuned in sync with the model’s natural evolution.
The ultimate version of the current generation is inspired by the participation of GR Supra cars in competitions such as drift competition, endurance and NASCAR, as well as customer motorsport where the GR Supra GT4 has won multiple championships.
The GR Supra A90 Final Edition, with three-liter engine and manual transmission, offers drivers an exhilarating blend of power, agility and precision, all enhanced by a variety of modifications intended to create even greater excitement. Sales will be limited to 300 worldwide.
Powertrain updates have increased output from 340 DIN hp (250 kW) to 435 DIN hp (320 kW) and torque from 368.7 lb/ft to 420.4 lb/ft for faster acceleration and response, while the vehicle gains an additional 12.4 mph to reach a maximum speed of 167.7 mph. This has been achieved by revising the intake air path, adapting the low-back-pressure catalyst for reduced pressure loss and optimizing engine controls.
Drivers can push cornering performance to the limit with the A90 Final Edition thanks to a range of handling improvements. Damping-force-adjustable KW suspension – of the same brand as used by the GR Supra GT4 race car – features 16 rebound and 12 compression stages for agile road holding in a variety of conditions. Additional cornering improvements include adjusted camber angle of the front and rear wheels, which also increases grip, and optimization of the active differential control to reduce understeer.
More direct steering comes via optimized electric power steering settings – exclusive to the A90 Final Edition – while the sensation of driving the GR Supra is also heightened by modifications to create an even closer connection between driver and road, for precise and confident driving dynamics. This is achieved through body reinforcement braces, including strengthened crossbar in the rear luggage space, the same rigid aluminum mount for the rear subframe as used on the GR Supra GT4 and strengthened front and rear stabilizers.
Higher grip and cornering stability are achieved thanks to 10mm wider tires, while lightweight 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels – engraved with TGR logo – emphasize the famous handling prowess of the GR Supra. High-grip Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires further encourage limit-pushing performance.
Braking is enhanced too thanks to 19-inch Brembo front brakes with high friction coefficient brake pads, while drilled floating discs front and rear ensure excellent braking power even during sports driving. Additionally, stainless steel mesh brake hoses reduce pressure transmission loss due to hose expansion during braking, maximizing the efficiency of the strengthened brake system.
To maintain peak performance alongside the improved cornering and higher engine output, a baffle plate has been added to the engine oil pan to prevent uneven oil distribution under higher g-forces, while cooling has been increased by strengthening the radiator cooling fan, adding a sub-radiator, and enlarging the differential gear cover cooling fins.
As well as a unique matte black color, the exterior of the A90 Final Edition features striking aerodynamic changes, the result of an extensive wind tunnel testing program carried out by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe (TGR-E), which contributed its motorsport and GR Supra GT4 experience. Motorsport-inspired carbon-fiber front spoiler, front canards, and front center flap combine with a GR Supra GT4-style carbon-fiber swan-neck rear wing to optimize front and rear aerodynamic balance, downforce, and drag, which improves road contact and driving dynamics. A new carbon-fiber duct on the bonnet features a removable inner element for extra cooling when removed. Also taking a cue from the GR Supra GT4, the A90 Final Edition features an Akrapovič titanium muffler which generates a more powerful engine sound.
Inside the cabin, the driver-focused interior features RECARO Podium CF full-bucket seats, with racy red color and Alcantara seat pads, to maintain optimum driving position and comfort, even under higher g-forces. Red seat belts, exclusive carbon fiber scuff plates and extensive Alcantara trim, including the driver-focused steering wheel, emphasize the exclusivity of the limited-edition model.
The Toyota GR Supra marks the conclusion of its current generation with the A90 Final Edition. Although this specific model will not be available in the United States, we will be getting an version for the States.
