Toyota Supra A90 Exits with Final Edition

Toyota has finally delivered a fitting send-off for the A90 generation with two special editions: the Final Edition and the Lightweight Evo. Both feature manual gearboxes, echoing the golden era of '90s Japanese sports cars.

In a world often filled with disappointing headlines, leave it to Toyota to spark some joy with these high-performance farewells.

Toyota Supra Final Edition: Power Meets Precision

The Final Edition, clad in striking black, is more than just a cosmetic upgrade. This version boasts a significant power boost, with its 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine now producing 435hp nearly 100hp more than the standard model. The torque is equally impressive, jumping from 369 lb-ft to 420 lb-ft. With these upgrades, the Final Edition has a claimed top speed of 168 mph.

Toyota achieved these enhancements by improving intake efficiency, reducing exhaust back pressure with a new catalytic converter, and optimizing the engine controls. While acceleration figures remain under wraps, the manual gearbox ensures an engaging driving experience that numbers simply can't quantify.

Enhanced Suspension and Steering

Beneath its sleek exterior, the Final Edition is equipped with KW coilover suspension, offering 16 rebound and 12 compression settings. There’s also increased negative camber on both axles, promising sharper handling. New anti-roll bars and revisions to the electric power steering address previous concerns about front-end confidence.

Motorsport-Grade Upgrades

Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires for enhanced grip

Improved braking system with drilled discs, high-performance pads, and stainless steel hoses

Race-inspired bracing behind the seats and additional underbody strengthening

A baffled oil sump and upgraded cooling for track-ready durability

Carbon Recaro seats for a lightweight yet luxurious touch

With only 300 units available worldwide, the Final Edition is a true collector's item. Toyota describes it as delivering an “exhilarating blend of power, agility, and precision.”

Toyota Supra Lightweight Evo: Focused on Driving Dynamics

The Lightweight Evo, while less extensively overhauled, still offers substantial upgrades aimed at elevating the driving experience. Toyota’s focus on motorsport development shines through with a new active differential, which enhances confidence and precision.

Front Axle Overhaul

Revised bushes and bracing

Additional negative camber for sharper turn-in

A redesigned anti-roll bar for improved stability

While the Lightweight Evo retains the standard suspension hardware, modifications ensure a stronger connection to the road. The rear subframe has been upgraded with improved rubber bushes, providing a balance between performance and comfort.

Aerodynamic Enhancements

An updated aero kit sets the Lightweight Evo apart visually and functionally:

Carbon ducktail spoiler for increased rear stability

New front wheelarch flaps and taller tire spats for improved downforce and balance

These subtle changes give the Supra a more aggressive stance, hinting at its enhanced performance capabilities.

Availability

The Final Edition will be limited to just 300 units globally, making it a rare gem for hardcore Supra fans. Meanwhile, the Lightweight Evo is expected to be more widely available, with European sales starting in spring 2025. Whether you're drawn to the raw power of the Final Edition or the track-focused finesse of the Lightweight Evo, both represent Toyota's commitment to keeping the spirit of the Supra alive.

For enthusiasts, the wait for these models will undoubtedly be worth it. As the A90 generation bows out, it does so with a roar, ensuring its legacy remains firmly etched in the annals of sports car history.
