Toyota announces GR Supra ‘Track Edition’
With the fifth-generation Toyota Supra to end production later this year, Toyota Australia has revealed a farewell model for the local market in the form of the ‘GR Supra Track Edition’.
Due for release midway through this year, the Australian model will not receive an engine upgrade like the ‘A90 Final Edition’ that some other markets are getting. Instead, the Track Edition will feature a stiffer chassis and other changes aimed at sharpening the handling, along with aerodynamic improvements, matte black wheels and an exclusive paint option.
“The Track Edition is the most focused version of the GR Supra released to date, with upgrades that enthusiasts will be sure to appreciate,” said Toyota Australia Vice President Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations Sean Hanley.
For the Track Edition, output from the GR Supra’s 3.0-litre straight six remains unchanged at 285kW and 500Nm. By comparison, the A90 Final Edition offers 320kW and 570Nm. Transmission options remain the same – a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic – driving the rear wheels.
Changes for the Track Edition start at the chassis, where underfloor bracing has been stiffened and the rear subframe mounting reinforced, resulting in more direct response to steering input. A larger front anti-roll bar has been fitted, along with aluminium anti-roll bar brackets at each end. The front control arm bearing is new and there’s more negative camber to improved cornering grip and better overall handling.
To maximise these changes, the front and rear shock absorbers have been re-tuned, as has the active limited-slip diff and power steering.
The other key mechanical change is the adoption of 374mm front brake discs; a significant upgrade on the 348mm discs in the GR Supra GTS.
Aerodynamic improvements see a unique ‘tyre spat’ lip fitted to the front end and flaps added to the leading edge of the front wheelarches. There’s also a carbon fibre rear spoiler, which in addition to improving rear downforce, adds a little more visual bulk to the GR Supra’s truncated back end.
Wheels remain at 19 inches, but these ten-spoke alloys are finished in matte black for the Track Edition. These can be matched to exclusive Matte Black paint, or any of the existing GR Supra colours.
Inside, the seats are trimmed in black Alcantara, with GR logos on the headrests. Seat belts are in red, with manual cars adding a red accent ring to the shift knob. As the Track Edition is based on the GR Supra GTS, it comes with heated seats, a 12-speaker JBL sound system and wireless phone charging from that variant as standard.
The GR Supra Track Edition will not be limited in terms of numbers or availability, but it will carry a premium over the GR Supra GTS. Pricing will be revealed close to local release in mid-2025, but is expected to be over $100,000, given the current GR Supra GTS starts at $96,295 plus ORCs.
