Toyota GR Supra 35th Anniversary Edition: 35 units to commemorate the anniversary of the iconic model

In 1986, the A70 generation of the Toyota Supra hit the market, a model that for the first time separated itself from the Celica, as until then both models had been united under the name Celica Supra. With a new chassis, electronically controlled double wishbone suspension and the 3.0 Turbo with 270 CV, it became the fastest Japanese car of its time.

After 35 years since the launch of this legendary model, which became a key product for the Japanese firm, Toyota has just unveiled the Toyota GR Supra 35th Anniversary Edition, a limited series of just 35 units that will feature exclusive details for this edition only.

Available with 4 and 6 cylinders

Toyota has showcased its two versions of the Supra: the RZ version, which will be fitted with Matte Storm Grey metallic paint and a striking interior trimmed in red-purple leather, and the SZ-R version, which can be configured in any of the colours available in Toyota’s palette, with red-calipered brakes and an interior trimmed in Alcantara and red leather.

Regardless of the version chosen, both will feature elegant forged aluminium wheels of 19 inches, lightweight, which in matt black paint make a perfect combination with any body colour.

Furthermore, as one would expect in such a special edition, the interior features an attractive carbon fibre insert that displays the chassis number of each vehicle, adding that touch of exclusivity that is so appealing.

As we said before, we can choose between the four-cylinder engine with 2.0-litre turbo with 258 CV, called SZ-R (or Pure in our country), or the charismatic inline six-cylinder with a 3.0-litre turbo with 340 CV (called Performance in our country). Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and rear-wheel drive, allowing them to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.2 seconds for the less powerful version and in 4.3 seconds for the top-of-the-range model.

A lottery of 35 units

The bad news is that this commemorative edition will be intended exclusively for Japan, and those wishing to get one of these 35 units must submit their application online between 6 and 31 August. Once this is done, Toyota will select 35 applications at random and notify them on 7 September.

Prices for this Toyota Supra 35th Anniversary Edition start at 6,535,000 yen, or roughly 50,400 euros at current exchange rates for the four-cylinder version, and from 7,835,000 yen, roughly 60,400 euros at current exchange rates for the more powerful six-cylinder version.
