New Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition is a 429-bhp last hurrah

After a shorter-than-expected life, Toyota’s most potent two-door coupe has reached its terminus. But it’s not going down without a fight. Get the full lowdown on Supra’s hardcore finale, below.

It feels like only yesterday Toyota announced the rebirth of its iconic Fast and Furious poster car. Truth be told, that’s because the latest Supra debuted just five years ago — a fairly fleeting period as production runs go. And, whether that’s a symptom of the current anti-ICE climate, or simply due to the Supra’s lukewarm reception in the UK, we’ll never know.

But that’s enough reminiscing, the Supra A90 Final Edition is here to ensure the model goes out with a bang, not a whimper. First impressions are strong; this isn’t your usual commemorative plaque and stripes end-of-line special. Toyota has managed to squeeze an extra 100 heavy-hitting horses from the BMW-derived 3.0-litre straight six. And that’s just the start. A slew of induction and exhaust upgrades include a rerouted intake, a low-back-pressure catalyst, and an Akrapovic backbox. When combined with a tweaked ECU to make the most of the improved efficiency, the tuned six-pot now pumps out an extra 50 lb ft of torque.

It's more than just a raw numbers machine, too. In-between the seats you’ll find a new six-speed manual gearbox which, when paired with a beefier clutch, perfectly matches the more violent character of the engine. Time those shifts just right and you’ll rocket from 0-60 mph in four seconds flat, while you’ll now see over 167 mph at the top of sixth gear — 12 mph more than before.  

Most of all, though, the Final Edition will shine brighter on track. For starters, the new lightweight wheels are shod with some seriously sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres which benefit from a rigid compound for optimised steering control and wet grip. Moreover, those wheels sit on an adjustable KW suspension that’s similar to the setup used on the GR Supra GT4 race car. Plus, there’s an active differential to reduce understeer, various aero enhancements to reduce drag and improve downforce, and drilled floating Brembo brake discs to haul the Supra to a halt with greater ferocity.

Inside, there’s plenty to differentiate the Final Edition from lesser specials. Racy red Recaro full-bucket seats promise to hold you tight while the Supra pulls greater G-forces than ever before. Oh, and don’t forget the red belts and lashings of Alcantara trim adding that last degree of polish to this limited-edition interior.  

On that note, you’re probably wondering how many are coming to the UK. Simply put, no one knows. Toyota has confirmed a tiny 300-car allocation of Final Edition Supras will make its way to Europe in the Spring of 2025, though there’s no word on whether that includes Britain. As for the price, expect to pay north of £60,000 if you can get a hold of one.  

While Toyota’s reborn A90 Supra wasn’t to everyone’s taste, we think it’s blend of concept-inspired looks and driver-focused feel will be missed in years to come — especially in Final Edition guise. But do you think this run-out special is a fitting swan song for Toyota’s venerable coupe? Let us know if you’d pick one over Alpine’s track-bred A110 R Turini.
