Thank you for watching! In this video, I review the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition.

It's truly hard to believe that it has been over half a decade since Toyota teamed up with BMW to bring us the fifth-generation Toyota Supra. Unless you've been living under a rock, you're likely more than familiar with the fact that this car is quite divisive. Arguments about its initial launch without a manual transmission option, its BMW underbody, and its lack of a continuation of the enthusiast-infallible 2JZ. Short of just re-releasing the A80 (MKIV) Supra with brand-new, zero-mile, 2JZ-GTEs, there was nothing Toyota could have done to please all of the Supra fanboy club.
None of this matters now, though, because 2026 is the final model year of the A90/MKV Toyota Supra. Naturally, Toyota decided to send it off with a bang in the form of the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition. Lucky for us, Toyota was kind enough to hand us the keys to one for the week!
Throwing the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition into tight, winding corners throughout the canyons outside of Los Angeles is where the chassis upgrades and revised suspension and diff tuning really pay off. Combined with the low-lag powerband of the B58 inline-six, the car rewards you with massive mid-corner stability and the confidence to put your foot down early on corner exit. Though its steering inputs are as tight and crisp as those of its GR brethren, the Final Edition remains uniquely planted. Despite putting 382 horsepower through the rear wheels on wildly unpredictable asphalt, I instantly felt a surge of confidence that the Supra's chassis would gladly hook up and hold on.
The GR Supra, when equipped with a manual transmission, uses Toyota's Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) technology. This auto-blips the throttle on downshifts, allowing you to focus on braking and accelerating while navigating the corner. Some folks argue that it's a bit of cheating. However, as someone who wears size 14 shoes and is a bit bow-legged, just know that some of us are physically incapable of heel-toe downshifting in small cars. I've done plenty of pedal dancing to blip the throttle, and still prefer to, truthfully. That said, the iMT takes a bit of pressure off those who just want the perfect downshift every time, so they can focus on the cornering aspect itself. Besides, real race cars use it, so it gets a pass in my mind.
Overall, the canyon-carving experience in the GR Supra MKV Final Edition is more than satisfactory. It's a fairly comfortable, laid-back, yet still engaging and exciting way to spend a weekend on fun roads.
The MKV Final Edition retains the same BMW-sourced B58 twin-scroll turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine as the Base and Premium models. However, unlike previous trims, the MKV Final Edition sports a host of chassis, aerodynamic, and brake enhancements that Toyota engineers designed to maximize high-performance driving predictability and track-day longevity.
Mechanical and Handling Upgrades
Revised Suspension Geometry, Mounts, and Bushings - Toyota added stronger front control arm bushings, stronger subframe mounts, and adjusted camber on all four corners to provide a flatter contact patch through corners. In addition, GR tuned the Adaptive Variable Sport dampers, power steering, and active rear limited-slip differential to improve power-to-ground delivery and reduce understeer.
Improved Chassis Bracing - Toyota upgraded the rigid underbody bracing to reduce chassis flex compared to the Base and Premium trims, improving grip and power delivery.
Upgraded Brakes - Toyota stepped the front brakes up to massive 14.7-inch Brembo-sourced rotors, with matching Brembo four-piston calipers to increase stopping power and reduce brake fade during track use.
Exterior Styling and Aerodynamic Features
Carbon Fiber Aero Components - A carbon fiber ducktail spoiler and matching functional carbon fiber front wheel arch spats and flaps increase downforce at both ends, helping you get through corners quickly. In addition, the MKV Final Edition comes standard with carbon fiber mirror caps.
Trim-Specific Forged Wheels - The 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition gets exclusive matte black 19-inch lightweight forged aluminum wheels.
GT4 Styling Package (Optional) - Opting for the GT4 Styling Package adds red-painted carbon fiber mirror caps, a wind buffeting kit, and GR graphics on the side of the vehicle behind the doors.
Interior and Cabin
MKV Final Edition Exclusive Seats - Black Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with the GR logo on the headrest are standard in the MKV Final Edition and unavailable on other trims.
Premium Standard Equipment - The MKV Final Edition comes standard with a Head-Up Display, a 12-speaker JBL premium audio system, carbon-fiber console trim overlays, and a GR Camo car cover.
