Toyota GR Supra retires with 429bhp, track-honed special edition


Toyota has not revealed what those increases have done for performance, but the uptick should be enough to take the 0-62mph time down below 4.0secs to make it one of Toyota’s fastest road cars yet.

The extra power has been liberated by revisions to the air flow system, a new exhaust catalyst with ECU. Further mechanical modifications include a new baffle plate in the oil pan to stop oil starvation in track use, added cooling measures and an Akrapovič backbox for a “powerful engine sound”. 

Meanwhile, uprated brake pads clamp new drilled discs, while the Supra GT4 track car donates its adjustable KW dampers and strengthened rear subframe “to improve limit-pushing performance” in the corners. 

The power steering has been made more direct, too, and the camber axle has been changed front and rear to improve grip. That’s in addition to the fitment of new Michelin PS 2 tyres that are 10% wider than the standard items. 

The Final Edition is marked out by a purposeful, track-flavoured styling overhaul that’s headlined by a chunky carbonfibre rear spoiler, wind-cheating canards and a sizeable cooling vent on the bonnet which signals the heavy power increase.
