Toyota unveiled the GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition earlier this year and now the company is revealing the rest of the changes for 2024. It’s a short list as the Supra 3.0 Premium now offers a Hazelnut interior alongside the previously standard black leather, which remains available. Furthermore, models equipped with the Safety & Technology package come with Supra Connect Extended Services. The latter provides a number of handy features including automatic emergency assistance, stolen vehicle recovery assistance, real-time traffic information, and map updates. Owners will also receive access to remote services, which enables them to use their smartphone to lock/unlock the vehicle, see the car’s location, flash the lights, and sound the horn – among other things.
On the topic of connectivity, Toyota said
“Supra Connect Extended Services have been activated for eligible 2020-23 GR
Supra models equipped with connected services hardware.” The company also
announced the four-year trial subscription has now been extended to ten years
and that applies retroactively.
While the updates are minor, the price
increases aren’t as the 2024 GR Supra starts at US$ 45,540 and that’s US$ 900 more
than its predecessor. That’s cheap compared to the 45th Anniversary Edition,
which begins at US$ 64,375 and is far more expensive than last year’s A91-MT
special edition. As a refresher, the 45th Anniversary Edition is based on the
3.0 Premium and features an Absolute Zero or Mikan Blast exterior with matte
black wheels, a manually adjustable rear spoiler, and Supra graphics. Buyers
will also find heated leather seats, a head-up display, and a 12-speaker JBL
audio system.
Under the hood, there’s a familiar engine
lineup that includes a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder pumping out 255 hp and 400 Nm of torque. It’s connected to an
eight-speed automatic, which enables the model to accelerate from 0-96 km/h in five seconds. Customers can also opt for a turbocharged
3.0-liter inline-six developing 382 hp and 498 Nm of torque. Thanks to the extra oomph, the model can hit 96 km/h in 3.9
seconds when equipped with the aforementioned automatic. Buyers can also get a
six-speed manual if they’re willing to accept a slightly slower 0-96
km/h time of 4.2 seconds.
