Final Edition Supra Confirmed for US, But It's Not What You Hoped
Toyota has already confirmed that the Supra is leaving production after Spring 2026, but ahead of production's end, the automaker has announced a special version. The Supra MkV Final Edition brings a choice selection of performance and cosmetic bits that give the car a little more bite and lots more attitude. While the powertrain goes untouched-still the familiar 382-horsepower turbocharged inline-six sourced from BMW-the new MkV Final Edition does feature upgraded Brembo brakes and a ducktail carbon fiber rear spoiler for better stopping power and downforce. Perhaps more meaningful are the significant suspension changes Toyota brings to the MkV Final Edition Supra. Revised camber settings, retouched electronically controlled shocks, a new front stabilizer bar, retuned dampers, and new bushings throughout the car should provide commensurate handling improvements. Furthermore, the automaker says the MkV Final Edition Supra gets recalibrated differential software and "optimized" power steering tuning. There are a handful of aesthetic additions to the car, too. The MkV Final Edition gets exclusive 19-inch matte black wheels and gloss carbon fiber mirror caps. The interior gets some cool touches, too, including Alcantara on the driver's seat and red stitching on the gear selector. Customers can also opt for a graphics package inspired by the GR Supra GT4 Evo2 race car, which features a GR graphic, some additional blacked-out trim pieces, and red mirror caps. Toyota will also include a car cover with every MkV Final Edition. Nice. Or, it would be nice if we didn't already know about the A90 Final Edition Supra that Japanese and European markets will see. When specs leaked for that car back in December of 2024, Car and Driver reported that "a version of [the car] will be coming to the US market." Unfortunately, it looks like this might be "that version," and it falls short of expectations if you're familiar with the A90 Final Edition. Unlike the MkV Final Edition, the A90 Final Edition gets a serious power boost, with a bump to 429 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. A special vented hood, a KW suspension system borrowed from the GT4 Supra, and a swan-neck rear wing add to the car's race car cred. There are considerable upgrades elsewhere, but we'll spare you the gratuitous details, instead leaving you with four words to salivate about: carbon fiber bucket seats. While the US-bound MkV Final Edition Supra isn't nearly as dedicated as the A90 Final Edition seen elsewhere in the world, it should still be the best-handling version of the Toyota (er, BMW?) sports car yet. And there's technically still a little time left for Toyota to bring a hotter version of the Supra Stateside, with around a year left until production ends. We feel like we're missing out, but something is better than nothing. What ever happened to that GRMN Supra model, anyway, Toyota? Copyright 2025 The Arena Group, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Says Goodbye with a Racy Final Edition
The gets a MkV Final Edition with several performance-focused upgrades. The Final Edition features upgraded brakes and a retuned suspension, along with a standard 382-hp turbo six and an available stick shift. The 2026 Supra MkV Final Edition will soon go on sale starting at $69,085, and production of the fifth generation will officially end next spring. The fifth-generation Toyota Supra is set to end production in early 2026, but Toyota is saying goodbye with a MkV Final Edition—and it's more than just unique 19-inch wheels and available decals. While the version that customers in the United States get isn't as hardcore as the limited-production A90 Final Edition that's only sold overseas, the 2026 Toyota Supra MkV Final Edition does have several performance-enhancing upgrades that separate it from its siblings. Whereas the A90 FE has a 429-hp version of the sports car's BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six, the U.S.-spec model sticks with the standard output (382 horsepower, 368 pound-feet of torque). That power is sent to the rear wheels through either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. And whether or not you choose the three-pedal option, every MkV Final Edition has a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler, elevated front tire spats, and flaps on the front wheel arches. For those who want to make their MkV Final Edition stand out a little more, Toyota will offer a GT4 appearance pack (seen in these photos). It's inspired by the brand's GR Supra GT4 EVO2 race car, and the kit includes distinctive side graphics, red mirror caps, a matte-painted rear spoiler, and the Supra emblem out back is also matte black. Going the GT4 route also unlocks two exclusive extra-cost matte paint options: Burnout and Undercover. To help make the Supra more precise at the racetrack or the squiggly roads near where you live, it tweaked the software that controls the rear diff to help improve traction and reduce understeer. The actual steering is said to feel more direct, and all four tires have a revised camber angle to aid cornering grip. Other suspension changes include stronger rubber bushings, an upgraded front anti-roll bar, and retuned adaptive dampers. Toyota also added a new underbody brace to help improve rigidity. And if you overcook a corner—or you're stupidly looking at your phone while quickly approaching stopped traffic—better Brembo brakes are there to help save your ass. Inside, the Supra's Final Edition has leather-trimmed, Alcantara seats, which are spruced up with red contrast stitching and a GR logo in the headrests. The shift knob also has red accents, and, not to be outdone, the seatbelts are red too. The regular 2026 GR Surpa 3.0 starts at $58,035, and the better-equipped Premium trim rises to $61,185. Meanwhile, the MkV Final Edition comes in at just under $70K—$69,085, to be exact. It's unclear if Toyota has plans for a sixth-generation Supra, so we'll just have to enjoy what we have while we have it.
