Toyota Australia Obtains Extra Supply of GR Supra

February 15, 2020

Twin boost: more GR Supra stock available now and 35kW extra power late this year (current GTS grade shown).

Toyota Australia has secured additional GR Supra stock with a limited number of cars available now directly from dealerships.

This follows a highly successful series of online reservations that was designed to ensure a fair allocation of restricted initial stock, with total sales reaching 345 cars to the end of January this year.

In addition, Toyota has announced Supra will receive a power upgrade with suspension changes, towards the end of 2020.

Toyota Australia Vice President Sales and Marketing Sean Hanley said the additional volume and the upcoming boost to power and handling will enhance GR Supra’s appeal.

“The current car already has incredible power and torque with 250kW and 500Nm from its highly responsive engine – a great vehicle that has won several motoring awards,” Mr Hanley said.

“Being able to import an additional allocation of cars means enthusiasts can now achieve their GR Supra dream sooner than expected – perhaps even as a Valentine’s Day present to themselves!” he said.

Late this year, the GR Supra will gain a previously unexploited 35kW, lifting maximum power output by 14 per cent to 285kW from the 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbo engine.

The updated Supra will have refinements to handling that includes new under-bonnet chassis braces that deliver even greater rigidity. Mr Hanley said the changes keep faith with Toyota’s promise at the global launch that the reborn Supra would continually evolve in what is a highly competitive segment.

Pricing has not been announced for the updated GR Supra, but there will likely be an increase linked to the updates. Availability is expected to be more limited than for the current car.
