Toyota Adds Track Focussed Enhancements To The GR Supra
It was back in 2019 that a legendary sports-car nameplate returned after a long 17-year absence. It was the Toyota Supra and it served to introduce ‘GR’ as Toyota’s high-performance brand.
Today, the GR Supra remains the flagship of the range which today includes the GR Yaris, GR Corolla and GR86, all of which have been developed in collaboration with TOYOTA GAZOO Racing, the umbrella organisation managing Toyota’s global motorsports activities.
Since its introduction, the GR Supra (fifth generation of the model line which began in 1978) has been offered with various versions that enhance its fundamental appeal as a sportscar in its purest form. Such versions have drawn on TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s expertise and experience in high-performance vehicle development, particularly for competition use.
The latest of these special versions is the GR Supra Track Edition which, as its name suggests, has upgrades and features that make it an even more capable machine on the track. With its upgraded specifications, the Track Edition provides a more integrated driving experience on the track while also enhancing driving dynamics on winding roads.
This Track Edition is powered by the proven 3-litre in-line 6-cylinder B58 engine. This smooth, flexible and powerful 24-valve power-plant has power boosted by a Twin Scroll turbocharger with minimal lag. Maximum power output is 388PS at 5,800 to 6,500 rpm with peak torque of 500Nm available between 1,800 to 5,000 rpm.
The Track Edition can be ordered with either a 6-speed manual transmission or 8-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. The automatic transmission has Shiftmatic which allows manual gear selection using either the shifter or paddles on the steering wheel.
The standard 19-inch light alloy wheels are finished in a matte black coating, adding to the Track Edition’s dynamic looks. Michelin specially developed its Pilot Super Sport tyres for the GR Supra which are ZR-rated (above 240 km/h) and sized 255/35 at the front and 275/35 at the rear.
While the wheels are available only in matte black, customers have a choice of 6 exterior colours for the 2025 GR Supra range.
