[10][11] Initially, BMW considered using a pre-existing platform of their own to underpin the new Supra, but chief engineer Tetsuya Tada declined.

[1][2][14] Motor Trend had reported that a possible Supra successor could be based on the FT-HS (Future Toyota-Hybrid Sport),[15] which debuted at the 2007 North American International Auto Show.

[18] Tetsuya Tada, the chief engineer of the Toyota 86/Scion FR-S told reporters in Germany in 2012 "the president (Akio Toyoda) has asked me to make a successor to the Supra as soon as possible.

"[19] In late 2013, AutoBlog reported a Supra successor concept would be making its debut the January 2014 North American International Auto Show.

[29] Kleine Zeitung reported that the new jointly developed Supra will be produced at a Magna Steyr facility near Graz, Austria, alongside the BMW Z4 (G29).

[31] On 12 July 2018, a pre-production version of the Supra was unveiled with a camouflage paint scheme at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

It was unveiled by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, who announced the Supra was tuned and developed with extensive testing at the Nürburgring, and how its performance and design lineage can be traced to the famed 2000GT.

[42] Two-time Formula 1 champion and Toyota Gazoo Racing driver Fernando Alonso was also present to help launch the Supra.

[53] Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission that was fully re-calibrated by Toyota, who also added their software to the gearbox for the Supra.

[54] Toyota initially considered to give the new Supra a dual-clutch automatic transmission, but went with the ZF 8HP for its smoothness, reliability, and weight savings.

[55] A manual transmission was initially not offered, due to the torque-converter automatic having quicker shifts, its ability to handle a lot of torque with self-awareness on its aftermarket potential, and wanting to differentiate it from the 86.

[63][64] Before production, Toyota wanted to develop and engineer a rear-wheel drive sports car that would compete against the Porsche Cayman S (982), while BMW wanted to build a roadster, which gave them the idea of co-developing an all-new platform that would handle both coupe and convertible variants with great rigidity and handling of torque.

The SZ model is powered by the 145 kW (194 hp; 197 PS) 2.0-litre engine and is equipped with 17-inch single tone wheels, manual seats, black fabric upholstery, dark silver trim and a 4-speaker sound system.

The SZ-R model is powered by the 190 kW (255 hp; 258 PS) variation of the 2.0-litre engine and is equipped with 18-inch two tone wheels, eight-way powered seats, Alcantara/black leather upholstery, carbon fibre trim, 8.8-inch touchscreen multimedia system with 12-speaker JBL stereo sound system and a head-up display.

GR Parts is also available, which includes the Toyota Gazoo Racing Recorder, which allows drivers to log their driving data to an SD card.

Additionally for the 2021 model year, the rear suspension bushings were updated and chassis stiffening bars were added to the engine bay.

To date, all special editions are based on the 3.0 Premium, and offer distinct details from standard models, while being produced in limited quantities.

In 2019, for the 2020 model year, the first 1,500 cars produced for the US were released as special Launch Edition variants and are offered in three colours: Absolute Zero White, Nocturnal Black and Renaissance Red 2.0.

[72] In 2020, for the 2021 model year, a new A91 Edition was released, marking the updated platform featuring the new higher output 3-litre engine, and was limited to 1,000 units.

It also includes matte black wheels, carbon fibre mirror caps, and a custom stitched key cover matching the interior.

The 45th Anniversary Edition also features matte-black 19-inch aluminium wheels and black painted brake callipers with a GR logo graphic.

[92] The Indonesian market Supra was introduced at the 27th Gaikindo Indonesia International Auto Show in July 2019 and went on sale in October 2019.

[102] It also features carbon fibre for the bonnet, splitter, diffuser, mirror caps, side skirts, wing and bumpers.

Inside, an FIA-standard racing seat is present featuring a six-point harness, along with a carbon fibre instrument cluster.

A Magneti Marelli engine management system, motorsport ABS, data logger and fire extinguisher are standard, while an illuminated car number is optional.

In August 2022, the GR Supra GT4 earned its 50th class win in a major championship, at the GT World Challenge Asia at Sportsland Sugo in Japan.

[114] In the 2021 Super GT Series, the Toyota GR Supra GT500 raced by TGR Team au TOM'S won the 2021 championship in the GT500 class, driven by Yuhi Sekiguchi and Sho Tsuboi.

The GR Supra GT500 raced by TGR Team au TOM'S won the championship in the GT500 class, driven by Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata, while the GR Supra GT300 raced by Saitama Green Brave won the championship in the GT300 class, driven by Hiroki Yoshida and Kohta Kawaai.

[117] Again in 2024, TGR Team au TOM'S won the championship in the GT500 class for a consecutive year, with drivers Sho Tsuboi and Ritomo Miyata.

[132] In November 2020, another GR Supra for Formula D was unveiled by GReddy Performance, powered by a modified B58 powerplant producing 596 kW (800 hp), and driven by Ken Gushi.
