I’ve got some bittersweet news. The A90 Final Edition marks the beginning of the end for the current Supra lineup. This track-tuned model, exclusive to Europe and Japan, leaves out the “GRMN” badge many had expected. Only 300 will be made, each with upgrades over the standard six-cylinder variant. Limited, rare, unique—pick your adjective.
Some folks thought Toyota might sneak in BMW’s mighty S58 engine for the finale. Nope. Instead, it sticks with the trusty B58, but with a serious power bump. Horsepower climbs from 382 to 429. Torque rises as well, hitting 420 lb-ft from the previous 369. Oddly enough, even BMW itself doesn’t use this upgraded version of the engine. Tuners, though, have long known the B58 is capable of big numbers.
The increase? It’s 47 hp and 51 lb-ft more than the US-spec model. For Europe, the difference is even starker: a whopping 94 hp over the detuned versions sold there due to stricter emissions rules. European buyers were stuck with just 335 hp before this. No wonder they’ll celebrate this upgrade.
As for hardware, the A90 Final Edition steps it up. Larger Brembo brakes, now 19 inches at the front, bring serious stopping power. Adjustable KW suspension and an Akrapovič titanium exhaust also make the list. That exhaust? It roars like no Supra before. Lightweight wheels, branded by TGR, measure 19 inches up front and 20 at the rear. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires—10% wider than the standard ones—ensure it grips like glue.
The gearbox is a six-speed manual only. Toyota kept purists in mind. The body also benefits from an aerodynamic overhaul. There’s a carbon-fiber front spoiler and a swan-neck rear wing, plus canards and a hood duct. That hood duct can even be removed for extra cooling during track days. Function meets form here.
Borrowing from the GT4 race car, the rear subframe uses the same aluminum mount. Up front, the cowl brace is beefier, and underfloor panels add rigidity. Toyota’s engineers didn’t stop there: they tweaked the electric steering and adjusted the camber angle. Every change aims to improve grip and control.
Inside, carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats steal the show. Red seatbelts pop against Alcantara trim, which is everywhere. The cabin feels sporty but premium, a perfect balance.
Meanwhile, Toyota has something else cooking—a refreshed Supra 3.0, known as the Lightweight Evo in Europe. This model shares some upgrades with the Final Edition, like bigger Brembo brakes and a reinforced underfloor brace. It also gets a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler and revised stabilizers made of aluminum. Orders for both models open in January 2025.
Wrapping up, the A90 Final Edition rides on matte black wheels with adjusted camber. The EPS is fine-tuned, shock absorbers are updated, and more Alcantara accents grace the interior. It’s clear Toyota wants this version to stand out.
When will production end? Toyota hasn’t said. Magna Steyr’s Austrian factory, where the Supra and BMW Z4 are built, will churn out these final units. Toyota’s Robert Tickner hinted at future plans, though. A sixth-gen Supra might not be far off.
