Toyota is celebrating the creation of the 100th GT4 racecar version of the Supra with a limited-edition model for the road. Featuring motorsports-inspired trim and accessories, European customers will be offered just 100 examples of these Plasma Orange models. First unveiled in Japan (where it was also limited to 100 examples), the model is now being extended to Europe, and gets bright orange paint, new 19-inch lightweight alloy wheels that are finished in a sporty matte black, and black, GR-branded brake calipers that cement its connection to GR Supra GT4.
Inside, the cabin has suede-like seat
covers for added durability, and a premium feel. They are matched by a suede
gear knob, that Toyota says will give drivers the ultimate tactile shifting
experience. Elsewhere, the exterior color is continued inside with orange
stitching on the trunk mat, and a carbon fiber insert that has the “GT4 100th
Edition Tribute” graphic on it. Another panel on the driver’s side of the dash
emphasizing the limited nature of the model becomes visible when the door is
opened.
The 2024 Toyota GR Supra GT4 100th Edition
Tribute is based on the 3.0-liter model. The straight-six under the hood churns
out 335 hp, and is connected to a six speed manual
transmission. The enthusiast-oriented powertrain features an intelligent
control system that modifies the engine tune to prioritize torque while the
driver is upshifting, and consistency when they’re downshifting. The manual
transmission also has a shorter final drive ratio than the automatic
transmission, to help give the car more responsive acceleration.
In addition, the GR Supra GT4 100th
Edition Tribute gets a retuned suspension that optimizes performance, and is
specifically tuned for the manual model. The upgrades include more rigid
vulcanized rubber in the front and rear anti-roll bar bushings, and retuned
shock absorbers, as well as re-worked power steering parameters.
Prices for the model have not yet been
released, but the model is expected to go on sale soon in Europe.
