Toyota quietly dropped pricing for the manual transmission variant of the 2023 GR Supra this month, revealing that the enthusiast-pleasing option will cost no more than the equivalent version with Toyota’s eight-speed automatic transmission. According to a pricing document released by the automaker, the GR Supra 3.0 Base MT costs US$ 52,500 (US$ 53,595 w/ US$ 1,095 destination charge), which is exactly the same amount as customers pay for the GR Supra 3.0 Base I6. The GR Supra 3.0 Premium MT, meanwhile, costs US$ 55,650 (US$ 56,745 w/ destination), which once again is the same as the GR Supra 3.0 Premium I6.
Finally, the GR Supra 3.0 A91-MT will ring
in at US$ 58,345 (US$ 59,440 w/ destination). This trim will be sold only with
the manual transmission and is offered in exclusive Matte White or CU Later
Gray exterior colors with red accents and 19-inch forged wheels, finished in
Frozen Gunmetal Gray. Inside, meanwhile, the model gets unique Cognac leather
seats and an Alcantara-wrapped shifter with GR badging. It also gets red strut
tower braces and a 12-speaker JBL premium audio system.
The 2.0-liter will not be offered with the manual transmission and pricing starts
at US$ 43,540 (US$ 44,635). In addition to the new transmission option, the
2023 model year Toyota Supra also gets some other useful updates. Models
equipped with the 3.0-liter inline six get a retuned suspension with revised
shock absorbers to “improve roll balance and ride comfort.”
These models also get an active rear
differential and a revised electric power steering system, the brand revealed
in April. A new Hairpin+ mode recalibrates the traction control system to allow
for more wheelspin when the car is exiting a sharp bend on an uphill gradient
of more than five degrees.
The Supra will also be offered in
Stratosphere Blue for 2023 and the 3.0 Base model is offered with new 19-inch
forged aluminum wheels. The 3.0 Premium model, meanwhile gets the new JBL
12-speaker audio system, just like the A91-MT Edition. Deliveries of the 2023
Toyota Supra are set to begin later this year.
