2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition: The Last True-to-Form Supra, Maybe

2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition sports send-off performance and styling upgrades. Did Toyota save the best for last?

Rev Reflection Rating: 7.5/10

It’s truly hard to believe that it has been over half a decade since Toyota teamed up with BMW to bring us the fifth-generation Toyota Supra. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’re likely more than familiar with the fact that this car is quite divisive. Arguments about its initial launch without a manual transmission option, its BMW underbody, and its lack of a continuation of the enthusiast-infallible 2JZ. Short of just re-releasing the A80 (MKIV) Supra with brand-new, zero-mile, 2JZ-GTEs, there was nothing Toyota could have done to please all of the Supra fanboy club.

None of this matters now, though, because 2026 is the final model year of the A90/MKV Toyota Supra. Naturally, Toyota decided to send it off with a bang in the form of the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition. Lucky for us, Toyota was kind enough to hand us the keys to one for the week!

What Does the MKV Final Edition Get You vs. Base Model and 3.0 Premium Trims?

The MKV Final Edition retains the same BMW-sourced B58 twin-scroll turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine as the Base and Premium models. However, unlike previous trims, the MKV Final Edition sports a host of chassis, aerodynamic, and brake enhancements that Toyota engineers designed to maximize high-performance driving predictability and track-day longevity.

Mechanical and Handling Upgrades

• Revised Suspension Geometry, Mounts, and Bushings – Toyota added stronger front control arm bushings, stronger subframe mounts, and adjusted camber on all four corners to provide a flatter contact patch through corners. In addition, GR tuned the Adaptive Variable Sport dampers, power steering, and active rear limited-slip differential to improve power-to-ground delivery and reduce understeer.
• Improved Chassis Bracing – Toyota upgraded the rigid underbody bracing to reduce chassis flex compared to the Base and Premium trims, improving grip and power delivery.
• Upgraded Brakes – Toyota stepped the front brakes up to massive 14.7-inch Brembo-sourced rotors, with matching Brembo four-piston calipers to increase stopping power and reduce brake fade during track use.

Exterior Styling and Aerodynamic Features

• Carbon Fiber Aero Components – A carbon fiber ducktail spoiler and matching functional carbon fiber front wheel arch spats and flaps increase downforce at both ends, helping you get through corners quickly. In addition, the MKV Final Edition comes standard with carbon fiber mirror caps.
• Trim-Specific Forged Wheels – The 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition gets exclusive matte black 19-inch lightweight forged aluminum wheels.
• GT4 Styling Package (Optional) – Opting for the GT4 Styling Package adds red-painted carbon fiber mirror caps, a wind buffeting kit, and GR graphics on the side of the vehicle behind the doors.

Interior and Cabin

• MKV Final Edition Exclusive Seats – Black Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with the GR logo on the headrest are standard in the MKV Final Edition and unavailable on other trims.
• Premium Standard Equipment – The MKV Final Edition comes standard with a Head-Up Display, a 12-speaker JBL premium audio system, carbon-fiber console trim overlays, and a GR Camo car cover.

2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition vs. The Canyons: Handling Hero with B58 Punch

Throwing the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition into tight, winding corners throughout the canyons outside of Los Angeles is where the chassis upgrades and revised suspension and diff tuning really pay off. Combined with the low-lag powerband of the B58 inline-six, the car rewards you with massive mid-corner stability and the confidence to put your foot down early on corner exit. Though its steering inputs are as tight and crisp as those of its GR brethren, the Final Edition remains uniquely planted. Despite putting 382 horsepower through the rear wheels on wildly unpredictable asphalt, I instantly felt a surge of confidence that the Supra’s chassis would gladly hook up and hold on.

The GR Supra, when equipped with a manual transmission, uses Toyota’s Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) technology. This auto-blips the throttle on downshifts, allowing you to focus on braking and accelerating while navigating the corner. Some folks argue that it’s a bit of cheating. However, as someone who wears size 14 shoes and is a bit bow-legged, just know that some of us are physically incapable of heel-toe downshifting in small cars. I’ve done plenty of pedal dancing to blip the throttle, and still prefer to, truthfully. That said, the iMT takes a bit of pressure off those who just want the perfect downshift every time, so they can focus on the cornering aspect itself. Besides, real race cars use it, so it gets a pass in my mind.

Overall, the canyon-carving experience in the GR Supra MKV Final Edition is more than satisfactory. It’s a fairly comfortable, laid-back, yet still engaging and exciting way to spend a weekend on fun roads.

2026 Toyota GR Supra Daily Usability and Practicality

Admittedly, upon a first glance, I assumed the GR Supra wouldn’t be all that great as an A-to-B commuter or grocery getter. I’m happy to report that I was wrong in that thinking. Of course, the cabin space is tight, but there is surprisingly ample storage throughout, between the door panel pockets and the center console. Better still, the trunk space runs directly behind the seats, leaving users with a genuinely shocking amount of cargo space, given the two-seater aesthetics.

Moreover, despite its low appearance, the GR Supra actually has a surprising amount of ground clearance. So, speed bumps and steep parking lot entrances were a lot less of an issue than I anticipated. Sure, it’s still a low sports car. You’re going to run into some issues from time to time. However, it was far less prominent than I would have thought. It also has a surprising amount of headroom and an extremely tight turning radius. For those reasons, I’d say that the GR Supra could operate just fine as a standalone daily driver/fun weekender.

Toyota GR Supra Specs and Dimensions

• Turning radius – 17.1′ (5.2m)
• Front legroom – 42.2″ (1,072mm)
• Front headroom – 38.3″ (973mm)
• Front hiproom – 54.2″ (1,377mm)
• Front shoulder room – 54.4″ (1,382mm)
• Passenger volume – 50.9 cu.ft. (1,441L)
• Interior rear cargo volume – 10 cu.ft. (289 L)

Dated Technology and An Aura We Didn’t Ask For

As much as I despise the folks who think they’re clever for making BMW jokes the literal instant a MKV Supra appears anywhere, I unfortunately have to concede to their point. Though my initial expectation for the GR Supra was to find more Toyota than BMW, as we find more Toyota than Subaru in a GR86, I was a bit shocked by the interior. Stepping into the Supra doesn’t feel like stepping into a Toyota in almost any way. In fact, aside from the Toyota and GR logos, it’s almost impossible to distinguish it from a BMW interior. The chimes, noises, center console, the infotainment control knob, all of it.

It goes further than the general essence, too. The 2026 Toyota GR Supra uses a re-skinned version of BMW’s iDrive. That wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s a version of iDrive that is three generations out of date. It has no support for Android Auto, and if you plug in an iPhone, it prompts you to install the BMW Mobile app for Apple connectivity. The interior of a car is where the vast majority of a person’s interaction with the car occurs, and because of these points, it just feels more like driving a BMW than a Toyota Supra. I’ll be honest, that does make it feel less special.

I understand that leaning into the BMW-esque luxury side of things comes with the high-end price tag of the Supra. At least, it does in theory. It’s supposed to feel elevated and different compared to its cheaper GR counterparts. Unfortunately, it doesn’t feel like an elevated Toyota to me. It feels like a standard BMW.

The $73,000 Elephant in the Room

As tested, the price tag of this 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition is an eye-watering $73,210. Some of that price comes from options, including the GT4 Style Pack. However, the base price of the MKV Final Edition trim is still $69,350. While it is a great car, there is a lot of competition at a similar price point or far less. The first thing that comes to mind is the C8 Corvette. However, if you want to go head-to-head with RWD cars available with a manual transmission, there’s still some fierce competition in the price range. The Ford Mustang Darkhorse and the NISMO Nissan Z, for example.

There’s one in particular that I feel puts the nail in the coffin of the Supra, though. The 2026 BMW M2. Its base price is nearly identical to the Supra’s at $68,200. However, you get the S58 engine in place of the Supra’s B58. Though it’s the same engine platform and retains the 3.0-liter displacement, the M2’s S58 engine produces nearly 100 extra horsepower and 75 extra pound-feet of torque. Moreover, it comes with modern BMW iDrive technology. If you’re paying BMW prices and getting BMW equipment, why not just get the BMW with extra power and modernity to boot?

Buy the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition for What It Is, Not What It Isn’t

Simply put, there’s one reason to buy the Supra over any of the competition. It’s a supra. If that’s all that matters to you, then that’s great. For all we know, this could be the very last chance you’ll have to get a Supra in its “most authentic” format. A rear-wheel-drive sporty coupe with a turbocharged inline-six and a six-speed manual transmission. If the money isn’t a concern, then stepping up to the MKV Final Edition trim makes it all the more special.

Forbes reports that Toyota plans to make a sixth-generation Supra. Moreover, it says that Toyota plans for it to be a full in-house development. There are rumors floating around about a four-cylinder hybrid variant, a collaboration with Mazda on a six-cylinder engine, and many other things. The simple fact is, though, that we don’t know for sure that any of this is real. What we do know for sure is that you can buy a 2026 Toyota GR Supra.

So, that begs the question. Are you willing to wait for a car that might exist and might be what you want? Or, is the current GR Supra enough of a Supra for you to write a check?

TL;DR: The 2026 Toyota GR Supra MKV Final Edition features some choice chassis upgrades and tuning improvements that make it an absolute blast in spirited driving situations, like on winding canyon roads. However, it is quite expensive at over $70,000 with options and features, and has some pretty outdated BMW interior tech.
