Toyota is bidding farewell to the fifth-generation GR Supra with the introduction of the MkV Final Edition for the 2026 model year. This special edition celebrates the return of the legendary sports car in 2019, a revival championed by Akio Toyoda (Morizo) and the passionate engineers at GAZOO Racing. Born from rigorous testing at the Nürburgring and proven in demanding motorsports series worldwide, including Formula Drift and the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the GR Supra MkV has consistently embodied Toyota’s commitment to track-bred performance. The Final Edition aims to deliver an even more refined and integrated driving experience, honed for both challenging circuits and the open roads beloved by sports car enthusiasts.
Six Years of Evolution Culminating in a Final Masterpiece: Since its highly anticipated return in 2019 after a 17-year hiatus, the GR Supra MkV has undergone continuous improvement in the spirit of kaizen. Toyota’s “always on” approach to vehicle development has allowed lessons learned from the intense environment of motorsports to be swiftly incorporated into production models. The 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition represents the pinnacle of this evolution, featuring optimized tuning, enhanced braking performance with larger Brembo brake discs, an updated suspension with revised camber angles and stronger components, increased body rigidity through strengthened bushings and a stronger under-body brace, and aerodynamic enhancements including a carbon fiber rear spoiler and front wheel arch flaps. These comprehensive updates inspire greater driver confidence and amplify the inherent fun-to-drive nature of the GR Supra.
Elevated Performance and Refined Dynamics: Powertrain and Performance Details: All 2026 Toyota GR Supra models, including the MkV Final Edition, are powered by a potent 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 382 horsepower and 368 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine provides exhilarating performance across the rev range, enabling the GR Supra to achieve a 0-to-60 mph acceleration time of just 3.9 seconds with the eight-speed automatic transmission (AT) and 4.2 seconds when equipped with the engaging manual transmission (MT). The AT models also benefit from a manufacturer-estimated fuel economy rating of 22 city/29 highway/25 combined mpg, aided by standard start/stop technology. The AT allows drivers to focus on throttle and braking, while the MT features an Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) system with software optimized for sporty performance, including rev-matching on downshifts which can be deactivated in Individual Mode. Drivers can further tailor the driving experience with selectable Normal, Sport, and Individual modes that adjust throttle response, suspension damping via the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS), and power steering settings. Standard performance features across the lineup include a double joint-type MacPherson front and multi-link independent rear suspension, sport-calibrated electronic power steering, and grippy high-performance Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport tires on the rear-wheel drive platform.
MkV Final Edition: Bespoke Enhancements for the Ultimate Drive: The GR Supra MkV Final Edition distinguishes itself with unique updates designed to provide an even more connected and rewarding driving experience. Refined differential control and exclusive control maps enhance traction between the tires and the road, effectively reducing understeer during cornering. The addition of larger Brembo brake discs provides improved braking control and stopping power. Significant suspension and chassis modifications further elevate stability and strengthen the driver’s connection to the road, including a revised camber angle for increased cornering grip, revised responsive electronically controlled shock absorbers paired with a stronger front stabilizer, and a ened sense of integration achieved through strengthened rubber bushings for the front control arms and strengthened rubber mounts for the rear sub-frame, along with a stronger under-body brace for better grip and control. Aerodynamic modifications, such as a gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, and higher front tire spats, optimize front/rear aerodynamic balance and downforce, while the optimized electric power steering delivers a more direct and communicative steering feel.
Distinctive Styling and Premium Interior: The GR Supra MkV Final Edition boasts a bold and distinctive exterior appearance with new 19-inch matte black wheels, a gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, and gloss carbon fiber mirror caps. Inside, the genuine leather-trimmed driver’s seat is upholstered in Alcantara and features an embroidered GR logo, complemented by red stitching, red highlights around the gear shift knob, and red seatbelts, accentuating the interior’s sporty ambiance. Exclusive touches include a GR cupholder cover and a special camo car cover provided with the vehicle.
GT4 Style Pack Option: Inspired by the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 race car, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition will also offer an optional GT4 style pack (available in Fall 2025) in two new exclusive matte colors: Burnout and Undercover. This 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, further amplifying its motorsports pedigree.
Driver-Focused Interior and Advanced Technology: Inside all GR Supra models, a refined and minimalist cockpit design prioritizes functionality and driver comfort. The 3.0 grade features standard black soft-touch Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with power adjustment, while the 3.0 Premium grade offers the option of black or hazelnut-colored leather trim on its power-adjustable and heated seats. Modern technology is seamlessly integrated, including an 8.8-inch touchscreen display controllable via a rotary touch controller. The GR Supra 3.0 comes standard with a 205-Watt, 10-speaker audio system, while the 3.0 Premium and MkV Final Edition are equipped with a premium 12-speaker, 500-Watt JBL® Hi-Fi system. Wireless Qi charging is standard on MT-equipped 3.0 grades, the 3.0 Premium, and the MkV Final Edition. Wireless Apple CarPlay® compatibility is available on the 3.0 grade and standard on the 3.0 Premium. The 3.0 Premium also features a standard Head-Up Display.
Comprehensive Safety and Ownership Benefits: All 2026 GR Supra models are equipped with a comprehensive suite of safety features, including a Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Warning with Steering Assist, Vehicle Stability Control, and multiple airbags. Standard convenience features include Automatic High Beams and a Rearview Camera. As a testament to its motorsports heritage, all GR Supra models come with a complimentary 1-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), offering owners opportunities to experience high-performance driving events. The GR Supra is backed by Toyota’s standard warranties and ToyotaCare, a no-cost maintenance plan.
Availability: The 2026 GR Supra, including the MkV Final Edition, is expected to arrive at Toyota Dealerships in Spring 2025. However, production of the fifth-generation GR Supra will conclude in Spring 2026, making the Final Edition a truly special and limited opportunity to own this iconic sports car.
