That’s actually my plan too! Lol

We’re only getting a limited number of CTR’s in Canada so hopefully my allocation hits!

Clarification- only 500 SPECIAL EDITION (color) cars are being made in it US.


Also note that Toyota is still shit at updating options on the website and press info. 90% of people don't even know they offer a $12,000 carbon fiber wheel package for the past 2 years or a paint matched TRD spoiler and faux door duct delete panels.



The manual is an option on all 2023 3.0l cars. Outside of America CU Later Gray and other special edition bits are appearing as various interior options. Puerto Rico for example can still order the 21-22 red interior for 2023 with the 2 new US color options on a 3.0 premium.

I haven't seen a single MT Supra in dealer allocations, and I looked around at a lot of dealer inventories. Hopefully they'll ramp up? I mean they have to know that's what most people will be after. We had 3 years to get an auto Supra by now. They could make zero auto 2023's and I doubt it would ruffle a feather.

The dealer I finally got my GR86 from had a manual Supra on their site. I mentioned it to my salesman and he did one of these: It's actually an auto showing erroneously as a manual on their site. They had no way to fix it. Calls all day from everywhere about it. Looks like it's gone now, quite a relief I imagine.

I think once upon a time the idea of getting calls about Car A leading to a sale of Car B was a thing, but that is definitely dead for most Toyota dealers. Calls about unavailable cars are mostly a waste of time for everyone.

A91MT also gets new bracing in the engine bay which is a huge improvement over the stamped tubing they threw into the 21+ models. Oddly enough this was missing from all pre-production cars and still from all promo materials. They pretty much ripped off the Blitz/Cusco brace thats been out for a while-not that I'm complaining.

>5 have gotten to customers already it seems on the west coast. Most dealers have already bumped them up to 90k with the intention of keeping them in the showrooms it seems. I could be mis remembering but, IIRC Toyota is built the 500 a91 cars first before building the standard releases. I've seen 1 stratosphere blue in a customers hands already so who knows.



Here is. A91-MT for msrp +$900. It's got the very rare carbon wheels and mirror caps too.

wow that's bracing is a nice bonus. Definitely not an optional accessory? Like those wheels.. I had never heard of them before you mentioned. Then again, I never gave the Supra a closer look until recently.

The brace so far is only on the 2021 A91-MT Special Editions. Members on the MkV forums have already sourced a part number but, she run hot around $450. Anyways you can see it listed in the first group as a special edition feature on the window sticker. https://static.foxdealer.com/window_...90bc7ddd91.pdf

The wheels have been an option since 2021. I honestly have no clue how they are ordered as you can't even find them on the Toyota website builder, same with the a91 carbon spoiler.

Upgraded GR Supra GT4 EVO Launched for 2023

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has launched an updated GR Supra GT4 race car for the 2023 season which delivers enhanced braking, handling and engine performance.

Prototype vehicle shown in optional orange wrapping.
TOYOTA GAZOO Racing has extensively utilised customer and driver feedback to improve the dedicated race car, which is already a champion in three regions, Japan, the United States and Europe, and has earned over 100 podium finishes.

Since its first full racing season in 2020, more than 50 GR Supra GT4 cars have participated in races around the world, and customers have earned victories in 11 national and international GT4 championships. In August this year, the car celebrated its 50th class win in a major championship*1.

But competition within the popular GT4 category is intense and development of the GR Supra GT4 has continued with an EVO update for the coming season, to ensure TOYOTA GAZOO Racing customers can continue to achieve top results in the future.

At events around the world since the car's launch, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing engineers have provided track support to customer teams and drivers, who delivered valuable insights which are only possible via the pressure of on-track competition.

User feedback and requests have flowed directly into the development of the GR Supra GT4 EVO, which follows TOYOTA's commitment to continuous improvement and building ever-better motorsports-bred cars for customers.

In response to constructive customer feedback and the results of detailed evaluations, TOYOTA GAZOO Racing development engineers focused their efforts on three key areas: brakes, handling and engine.

Thanks to an improved brake system design, new ABS settings, latest KW damper technology and updated anti-roll bar specification, the GR Supra GT4 EVO will deliver improved handling and higher cornering speeds.

Drivers will be able to push for faster lap times due to increased power and an optimised torque curve of the 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged engine, which benefits from more effective cooling.

TOYOTA GAZOO Racing's close cooperation with its GT4 teams and drivers, and their valuable first-hand feedback, helped set specific targets for the upgrade. The GR Supra GT4 EVO is therefore easier to drive for ambitious amateur drivers whilst it also provides the precise performance demanded by professional racers.

The contact companies in each region for GT4 vehicle sales and customer support, including sales of spare parts and engineering support, are TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe GmbH for Europe, TRD U.S.A., Inc. for North America, and TOYOTA CUSTOMIZING & DEVELOPMENT Co., Ltd. for Japan and Asia.

The GR Supra GT4 EVO will make its competitive debut in January 2023 at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the first round of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season.

Orders for the GR Supra GT4 EVO will be taken from October 28 2022 and an upgrade kit will be available to existing GR Supra GT4 customers.
