Toyota reckons the Supra A90 Final Edition is worth €142,800
The one with the wing has gone on sale in Europe. And it really ain’t cheap
Remember the ‘Final Edition’ of the A90 Supra Toyota showed us at the end of last year? Yep, the black one with the swan-neck rear wing. Well, it has just popped up on the German configurator, and if you want one of the 300 cars available worldwide, you’ll have to pay a hefty premium for it.
Because yes, the Final Edition costs €142,800. Yikes. To put that into context, a 992.2 Porsche 911 Carrera costs €128,700 in Germany.
Of course, Toyota has upped power from 335bhp to 429bhp for this Final Edition, and top speed has risen to 168mph as a result. There’s now 420lb ft of torque too, plus adjustable KW suspension from the Supra GT4 race car.
For the cash, you also get larger Brembo brakes, an Akrapovic exhaust, Recaro bucket seats, that aero pack, tweaked steering and a six-speed manual gearbox. You won’t need to worry over what spec to choose, because you can have any colour as long as it’s matte black and the interior is only available with a red driver’s seat and black for the passenger. You do get to choose between 19in and 20in wheels, though.

Toyota GR Supra: 8AT variant goes ‘customer order only’ in SA
While the manual derivative remains listed locally, the automatic-equipped version of the Toyota GR Supra is now categorised as “customer order only” in South Africa…
Toyota South Africa Motors has seemingly stopped importing automatic-equipped examples of the GR Supra, with the 2-pedal version of this rear-wheel-drive sportscar having been removed from the local website and instead offered on a “customer order only” basis.
We recently noticed that the 8-speed automatic (8AT) derivative of the A90-series GR Supra was no longer listed on Toyota’s local website, leaving only the 6-speed manual (6MT) variant. So, we asked the Japanese automaker’s local division whether the GR Supra 8AT is still on the market in Mzansi.
Toyota SA Motors confirmed to Cars.co.za that the GR Supra 8AT is indeed still available, though now on a “customer order only” basis (this suggests local dealerships no longer stock auto-equipped units). For the record, the last price we saw for the auto-equipped GR Supra was R1 546 100, some R36 400 more than the R1 509 700 manual derivative still listed.
As a reminder, the GR Supra – which was developed alongside BMW’s Z4 roadster – launched in South Africa in July 2019, with its 250 kW/500 Nm turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-6 petrol engine driving the rear wheels through a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission.
