Toyota reveals rare Supra Jarama

Toyota is adding something to the Supra range that's guaranteed to make collectors' toes curl. It's the same inline-6, but with special numbers inside

The GR Supra Jarama Racetrack Edition will be produced in extremely limited numbers; the exact global production not expected to be more than 90 units. It is going to be very rare – and, therefore, potentially valuable, as a future classic.

Mechanically the car is unchanged from any other Supra, but there are some styling upgrades. The only paint finish is Horizon Blue, and it rolls on 19-inch matte black alloy wheels. All GR Supra Jarama Racetrack Edition cars will have red brake callipers.

Inside there is the regulation carbon-fibre plaque, on the step-sill, which will include the car’s unique production and the outline of Jarama circuit. The Spanish race track, located close to Madrid, is where Toyota completed final validation testing of the current Supra.

Toyota Supra 2.0 vs Porsche 718 Cayman vs Jaguar F-Type

As a dinky 4cyl engine is dropped in the GR Supra, two established rivals lie in wait

The other two are much closer together. Surprisingly so: the gap between four-cylinder Supra and Cayman is significantly narrower than when you throw the full-fat six-cylinder versions in the ring. Is that because the Toyota has become smarter, or because the Porsche has become less mesmerising? The truth is a combination of the two, but there’s no doubting that if you’re sold on the looks and want something fervently different to the crowd, the Supra wears its simpler 2.0 form well, even if its lease saving over a 3.0 might be as slim as £20 a month.

The Cayman, though, is insurmountable. Sometimes it seems a little studious – a peculiar mix of class swot and sports team captain where the Supra’s happier to sacrifice some grades to get into a bit of mischief. But ultimately the 718 is a triple threat: it’s the best to drive, nicest to sit in and easiest to own, the latter a true achievement for the only mid-engined car present and proof that the other two could perhaps work their more traditional layouts better. Porsche wins again, but by a smaller margin than it has become accustomed to.
