The Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition: A Powerful Monster

Toyota Supra A90

The Toyota Supra A90 is reaching the end of its journey, and the A90 Final Edition marks the closing chapter for this beloved generation.

The Supra A90 Final Edition is a special, track-focused version of the iconic sports car, exclusively available in Europe and Japan. Unlike many had expected, this limited-run model will not bear the “GRMN” suffix. Instead, Toyota has opted for a more unique approach, offering only 300 units of this special edition. Each car comes equipped with significant upgrades over the standard six-cylinder model on which it’s based, elevating the driving experience to new heights.

Performance Enhancements

While there were rumors that Toyota might source the more powerful S58 engine from BMW’s M division, the A90 Final Edition still uses the familiar B58 engine. However, this version of the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six has been significantly upgraded. Power has been boosted from 382 horsepower to an impressive 429 horsepower, and torque has increased from 369 lb-ft to 420 lb-ft. This marks a substantial improvement over the standard US-spec Supra, with an additional 47 horsepower and 51 lb-ft of torque. When compared to the European-spec model, the power increase is even more striking, with an additional 94 horsepower.

This power boost is particularly noteworthy because, in Europe, Toyota had previously detuned the engine to meet stricter emissions regulations, limiting it to 335 horsepower. With this Final Edition, enthusiasts are treated to a more potent version of the Supra’s engine, which takes full advantage of the B58’s considerable tuning potential—something the aftermarket scene has long recognized.

Enhanced Performance Features

In addition to the engine upgrade, the Supra A90 Final Edition boasts several performance-oriented features designed to improve handling and driving dynamics. It comes equipped with larger 19-inch Brembo front brakes, an adjustable KW suspension, and a high-performance Akrapovič titanium exhaust system that delivers a more aggressive engine note.

Toyota has also fitted this special edition with lightweight, staggered TGR-branded wheels, 19 inches in the front and 20 inches at the rear. These are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, which are 10% wider than those found on the standard Supra. This gives the A90 Final Edition enhanced grip and cornering capabilities, further emphasizing its track-ready nature.

Unique Design and Aerodynamics

The A90 Final Edition features a newly developed aerodynamic package that includes a carbon fiber front spoiler and a rear swan-neck wing. These elements not only enhance the car’s appearance but also improve downforce and stability at higher speeds. Other aerodynamic upgrades include front canards, a center flap, and a carbon fiber hood duct. The latter features an inner duct that can be removed during track days for additional cooling when needed.

This limited-edition Supra also benefits from an aluminum rear subframe mount, directly borrowed from the GT4 race car, alongside a strengthened front-cowl brace and added front underfloor components. Toyota’s engineers have also fine-tuned the electric power steering and adjusted the camber angle to ensure better grip and responsiveness.

Interior Upgrades

Inside, the A90 Final Edition is just as impressive, featuring Recaro bucket seats made from carbon fiber for weight savings and increased support. The cabin is finished with Alcantara surfaces and red seat belts, giving it a distinct and sporty feel. Every detail has been designed to enhance the driving experience, making it clear that this is the ultimate expression of the current Supra.

A New Supra 3.0 for 2025

Alongside the A90 Final Edition, Toyota is also introducing a revised Supra 3.0, available globally from January 2025. Known as the “Lightweight Evo” in Europe, this model features a number of performance upgrades, including more robust Brembo front brakes, a reinforced rear underfloor brace, and the use of reinforced aluminum for the front and rear stabilizers. The Lightweight Evo also boasts a carbon fiber ducktail spoiler, matte black wheels, revised camber angles, and updated shock absorbers. Inside, the driver’s seat is wrapped in Alcantara, and red accents are added to the stitching and gear shift knob.

The Future of the Supra

While the A90 Final Edition is the last of the current-generation Supra, Toyota has hinted that the next chapter is already in the works. The company has yet to announce the official end of production at Magna Steyr’s plant in Graz, Austria, where the Supra is built alongside its BMW Z4 counterpart. However, Toyota has confirmed that the A90 Final Edition will mark the end of this generation, and a new model is already in development.

In conclusion, the Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition offers a fitting and exciting farewell to the current-generation Supra. With its significant power upgrades, refined performance features, and striking design, it stands as the pinnacle of this era of the Supra. Fans and enthusiasts can look forward to the future of the Supra, with hints of what’s to come in the next generation already emerging.
