Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition: the most powerful and purest fifth-generation Supra. The Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition is not just a limited edition, but almost a race car for public roads. With 441 hp, a manual transmission, and GT4-derived components, this Supra is a unique finale for its generation. We explain why it is the most fascinating Supra in recent years.
441 hp, manual transmission, and engineering solutions from the world of motorsport — that's how Toyota rounds off the fifth generation Supra. The A90 Final Edition is not just a rare version, but a real challenge for fans of pure driving. At its core is a platform developed jointly with BMW, but the Japanese team has refined it to a point where the Supra once again becomes a cult car for enthusiasts.
The Supra A90 project was never intended for mass production. Toyota openly admitted: this car is for those who value driver engagement, sound, feedback, and true manual transmission. In Europe, demand was modest, but in Asia and America, the fifth-generation Supra sold brilliantly, and the model name once again became a symbol for tuners and motorsport.
Technology and engine
The main intrigue of the Final Edition is the B58 engine with a 3-liter capacity, boosted to 441 hp and 571 Nm of torque. This is not a BMW M engine, but an upgraded version of the classic B58 with a single turbocharger. To achieve this power, Toyota had to review its agreements with BMW, update the software, intake system, and modify the oil sump. The new cooling system played an important role, while the Akrapovic titanium exhaust not only enhanced the sound but also reduced flow resistance.
For the first time on the fifth-generation Supra, ventilated brake discs from the BMW M5, KW V3 Clubsport suspension with extensive adjustment options, reinforced stabilizers, and new mounts have appeared. Body rigidity was increased thanks to additional braces and a crossbeam behind the seats. Michelin Cup 2 tires — the same as on the BMW M4 GTS — were mounted on the wheels, and the rear wing almost entirely replicates the GT4 race version.
Interior and driving experience
The Final Edition cabin strikes a balance between sport and minimalism. Carbon bucket seats with minimal padding, red Alcantara on the driver's side, and the lowest possible seating position. Seat adjustment is done with four bolts, and the steering wheel and shifter are perfectly positioned for quick handwork. Even at idle, the engine sounds richer and deeper, and on the move, the Supra feels lighter and more composed than standard versions.
The short-throw manual gearbox gives you full control in any situation. From as low as 2,000 rpm, the engine delivers maximum torque, and acceleration to 100 km/h takes 3.9 seconds—faster than most automatic-equipped rivals. The brakes are easy to modulate, and performance doesn’t fade even after several hard stops: from 100 km/h, the Supra stops in 33.9 meters on cold discs and 30.4 meters when warmed up.
On the track
On the Sachsenring circuit, the Final Edition set a lap time of 1:33.53—a result comparable to tuned versions and faster than most production sports cars in this class. Handling is sharper, the front axle responds instantly, and the rear holds the line even at the limit. The suspension dampens excessive movement, while Michelin Cup 2 tires provide strong grip. The car’s full potential is revealed on the track, where the Supra lets the driver feel the limits and operate at the edge.
Context and comparisons
Competition is heating up in the compact and mid-size sports car segment: the BMW M2, Porsche Cayman, and Nissan Z each offer their own recipe for driving pleasure. But the Supra A90 Final Edition stands out for its balance between racing technology and everyday usability. For comparison, we recently took a close look at how the compact SUV market is changing using the Jeep Avenger 2027 as an example— read about new trends and approaches to special editions.
Final
The Supra A90 Final Edition is not just a limited series, but the engineering culmination of the fifth generation. This car is unlikely to become mainstream, but it shows just how far you can go when putting driving pleasure above all. For collectors and enthusiasts, this is possibly the best Supra in recent years.
