Toyota will no longer be flirting with BMW when building the GR Supra. According to Japan’s best-selling car magazine Best Car, the all-new 6th generation model is expected to surface in 2027, and will be powered by a Toyota-built 4-cylinder, turbocharged 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain, but still pumping out around 400-hp.
After collaborating with BMW in 2019 to launch a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline powerplant for the Supra and Z4, Toyota’s Gazoo Racing production division—which was responsible for joining forces with BMW—has finally decided to part ways with its German partner. Since the Supra went on sale in the U.S. in 2019, it sold over 24,000, in contrast to its sister car—the BMW Z4—which sold just over 13,000 units in the same five year time span.
The Supra Final Edition spec differs between Japan and U.S.
A limited edition version of just 300 Supra Final Edition models were launched in March 2025, and they sold out like hot cakes. Pumping out 434-hp in its Japan-spec guise, the last A90 Supra was priced in its home country at 15 million yen or around $101,000.
The new Supra will employ an in-house built 2.0-liter
In the U.S., however, around 100 units of a differently specced Mk V Final Edition were launched in April 2025 at Long Beach, California packing a lot less horsepower than its Japanese counterpart—down to 382-hp. According to Toyota, the North American spec did not get the Japanese engine upgrade but focused on other aspects like chassis and aerodynamic enhancements and an available 6-speed manual box. Also, compared to Japan’s $100,000 model, the U.S.-spec Final Edition landed in showrooms for a more reasonable $69,085. As Toyota closes the chapter on the current A90 GR Supra, we expect it to go out of production by late 2025.
According to Best Car, the all-new model, expected to debut by late-2027, will sit on a rear-wheel-drive platform and be powered by a Toyota-built turbocharged 2.0-liter hybrid powertrain pumping out around 400-hp. There has also been speculation in Best Car that Toyota are testing a second Supra prototype powered by a Mazda inline 6-cylinder engine, just like the e-Skyactiv G gasoline turbo mild hybrid engine found in the CX-70. But given the extra weight of this engine, Best Car leans towards the lighter, more fuel efficient, more nimble 2.0-liter unit as the powerplant to be employed.
