The A90 Final Edition is a proper send-off for the BMW-era Toyota GR Supra and it's way better than early reports gave it credit for

Toyota continues cooking interesting new stuff in its kitchen and the latest A90 GR Supra update is another proof. The fifth-generation of the iconic Japanese sports car receives a proper send-off in the form of two variants. One of these variants is a partially-upgraded, lightweight Evo variant, while the other is a revised, more track-focused variant that comes with many performance goodies, not present on the standard, 3.0-liter Toyota GR Supra. It appears the, so called, " A90 Final Edition” is the Supra GRMN we heard about earlier this year, and it offers even more upgrades than the scoops initially suggested.
Same engine, but more power
Early reports, which mentioned the Supra GRMN (which turned out to be the A90 Final Edition) suggested that the more powerful BMW S58 engine would be powering this latest variant of the Supra. Later, we found out that the final-edition GR Supra will continue to rely on the B58 straight-six.
While true, I am glad to see they have bumped the engine’s output. The 2025 Toyota GR Supra “A90 Final Edition” now develops 435 horsepower at 6,000 RPM and 420 pound-feet at 4,500 RPM versus the regular GR Supra 3.0's 382 horsepower at 5,800 RPM and 368 pound-feet at 1,800-5,000 RPM.
The Supra A90 Final Edition also benefits from better cooling for both the engine and differential, baffled oil pan to negate oil starvation under lateral load, and new setting for the active differential that minimizes understeer. The inline-six is not only more powerful, but also more pronounced thanks to an Akrapovic titanium muffler.
JDM fans would rejoice as the next-generation Supra will reportedly, once again, have a Toyota engine, but it may not be what you are hoping for as the new engine might not be as special as enthusiasts would hope.
No DCT for the A90 Final Edition
Earlier scoops about this swan-song Toyota Supra led us to believe that the model will receive a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. This would have been a Toyota first, but it turns out this couldn't have been further from the truth.
The Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition will come exclusively with a six-speed manual transmission, sending power to the rear wheels. The regular GR Supra will still have the option of an eight-speed automatic. The GR Supra A90 Final Edition still relies on an Active rear limited-slip differential to manage the power.
Extensive chassis and suspension improvements
The final-edition Toyota Supra still relies on the familiar McPherson front and multilink independent rear suspension setup, but that's where the similarities with the base model end. The adjustable KW suspension is borrowed from the Supra GT4 race car and features 6 rebound stages and 12 compression stages, making it flexible for a variety of driving conditions.
The race-grade suspension works with a new, model-specific camper angle that maximizes corner grip. The front and rear stabilizers have also been upgraded. The front suspension and rear subframe have been strengthened as was the front cowl brace, with additional bracing on the underbody. Last, but not least, is the tweaked electric power steering system, which now gives more feedback than on the standard GR Supra.
Upgraded stopping power and more rubber for the A90 Final Edition
More going power requires more stopping power and better traction. The 2025 Toyota GR Supra A90 Final Edition comes with a staggered set of Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup 2 tires, measuring 265/35 ZR19 front and 285/30 ZR20 at the rear, and wrapped around new, lightweight wheels. For comparson, the regular GR Supra comes with 255/35 ZR19 front and 275/35 ZR19 rear Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
The brakes of the A90 Final Edition are still four-piston Brembo at the front, but now, with larger, 395mm drilled, floating rotors at the front. The rear brakes remain at 345 mm with a single-piston, floating caliper.
Exterior and interior improvements
The aerodynamically-optimized body of the 2025 Supra A90 Final Edition borrows many traits from the Supra GT4 race car. It is, essentially, a GT4 Supra that's road-legal. The carbon-fiber treatment envelops the whole body, with a carbon-fiber front splitter, canards, center flap, swan-neck rear wing, air extractor for the carbon-fiber hood, and extended side skirts, all meant to channel airflow around the car's body.
The interior of the A90 Final Edition is equally pampered with additional carbon fiber and lots of red Alcantara surfaces, including the driver-side carbon-fiber back, RECARO CF Podium bucket seats (the passenger one is black), center console and inner door handles.
Also red are the seat belts and the new, Alcantara steering wheel's 12 o'clock marker and shift knob. The best part is, despite all the improvements and additional aero bits, Toyota has managed to keep the weight, pretty much, identical to the regular 3.0-liter GR Supra, at 3,368 pounds.
The A90 Final Edition Toyota GR Supra will go on sale in Spring 2025. A few months ago, when reports still mentioned the Supra GRMN, a price of 13.0 million Yen was quoted, which in 2024 money, equates to $86,660. However, this hasn't been confirmed yet. Is the A90 Final Edition a proper send-off for the fifth-generation Toyota Supra? Share your thoughts below.
