The Toyota GR Supra begins its farewell with the A90 Final Edition

When the Toyota GR Supra When the car hit the market we were very happy. However, there was criticism of the brand because BMW had joined the project to develop the new generation Z4. Whatever the case, the union of Toyota The partnership with its partners from Bayerische has been a success. One only has to look at the success they have had despite the fact that they are in a segment that is residual. The problem is that there is no serious generational change in sight.

Toyota has said there will be more sporty models in its range but he hasn't given any names yet. The Supra might, or might not, be on the list of candidates but the problems on the table are still there.

Thanks to this huge gain in power, the maximum speed increases by 20 kilometres per hour to reach 270 kilometres per hour. To manage its performance we have a iMT intelligent manual transmission with six speeds that sends power to the rear axleBut beyond pure numbers, the A90 Final Edition offers us a host of improvements that focus not only on offering radical aesthetics but also on improving its dynamics…

If we look at her look the first thing that catches our attention is the matte black tone of its bodywork. Beyond this differential touch we have new aerodynamic additions such as splitters, side skirts or a swan-neck spoiler at the rear. These elements are manufactured in black carbon fiber like the new air intake on the bonnet, which has a moving part. Added to this is an Akrapovič titanium silencer like the GR Supra GT4.

But the list of improvements to the A90 Final Edition doesn't end there. The steering has been recalibrated to be more direct and the braking system improves with a forward team signed by Brembo with 19 inches. Meanwhile, 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels with wider tires are added to the range. In addition, to prevent the oil from being distributed unevenly, a baffle plate to engine oil pan.

Lastly, The KW suspension is adjustable depending on the damping force. It has 16 rebound stages and 12 compression stages for, according to Toyota, agile road holding in a variety of conditions. Inside we have some Recaro Podium CF red seats matching the seat belts. In addition, there are Alcantara details for the steering wheel and carbon fibre protection plates spread throughout the interior…

The Supra Lightweight Evo, on the other hand, does not offer more power, but it does offer better driving dynamics…

But the commercial farewell of the Toyota GR Supra A90/A91 will not be written only with the Final Edition version. Along with it, the firm has deemed it appropriate to launch a second version.

The suspension has also received improvements that, according to Toyota, improve the stability of the model. In addition, they have not forgotten about aerodynamics, as they have introduced slight improvements. We can mention the Ducktail spoiler that is mounted at the rear and is made of carbon fiberIn addition to the spoiler, new mudguards or skirts are also included to improve the passage of air at the height of the alloy wheels.
