Toyota's GR Supra A90 Final Edition: A Porsche-Fighting Farewell Amidst an Era of Icons Ending

It feels like we're watching history write itself—two of Japan's most celebrated performance icons signaling their swan songs. While Nissan quietly closes the order books on its long-serving R35 GT-R, Toyota fires one final shot with the 2025 GR Supra A90 Final Edition—a limited-production, motorsport-inspired variant that pushes the Supra into rarefied air, both on the road and in collectors’ garages.

Supra’s Grand Finale: Limited, Louder, and Sharper

For enthusiasts, the GR Supra A90 Final Edition is more than just a commemorative model; it’s a statement. Limited to 300 units globally (150 destined for Europe, 150 for Japan), this version ups the ante with serious performance upgrades and sharper design cues straight from the racetrack.

Toyota’s engineers have squeezed 434 horsepower (435 DIN hp) and 570 Nm of torque from its BMW-sourced 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six, bringing it dangerously close to the Porsche 911 Carrera T in both price and capability. The Supra’s new top speed of 171 mph (270 km/h) firmly plants it in Autobahn warrior territory.

But the enhancements are more than just numbers on paper. KW adjustable suspension, a carbon-fibre aero kit (featuring swan-neck rear wings, canards, and a vented bonnet), and sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres mean this Supra is built to bite in corners just as hard as it claws down a straight.

Stripped for Purpose

Inside, the A90 Final Edition trades comfort for focus. Recaro Podium CF bucket seats—one in red, one in black—replace the standard fare, paired with Alcantara trim and red seatbelts that scream "track day ready." Even the rear gets stiffened with a chassis brace, ensuring this Supra is more at home on a twisty circuit than at a valet stand.

Price Tag in Porsche Territory

Perhaps the biggest headline? The sticker shock. In Germany, the Final Edition carries a base price of €142,800 ($155,800)—nearly double that of a standard GR Supra and right alongside the Porsche 911 Carrera T. It even eclipses the BMW M4, its Bavarian sibling, which offers more power for significantly less money. But exclusivity has its price.

Toyota’s method of selecting buyers by lottery feels fitting—this isn’t just another Supra, it’s an instant collector’s item, designed to be as rare as it is fast.

A Farewell Echoed by Godzilla

As Toyota waves goodbye to the A90, Nissan silently shuts the door on the GT-R R35—a platform that has served for more than 15 years as the "giant killer." While there’s no official word yet on a successor, and history tells us the GT-R name could hibernate before roaring back, for now, both the Supra and GT-R bookend an era of Japanese sports car dominance.

In a market increasingly tilting towards EVs and SUVs, the curtain seems to be falling on a golden generation. The Supra A90 Final Edition isn’t just a final model—it’s a sendoff, a celebration of a bloodline that championed driver engagement and motorsport heritage.
