Toyota GR Supra Track Edition imminent

TOYOTA will introduce a new flagship to its GR Supra line-up from mid-next year when the Track Edition arrives with “a number of exclusive specification upgrades that amplify the sleek, cab-backward design of the turbocharged sports car”.

The “circuit-honed” additions are set to build on the specification offered in the GR Supra GTS variant with revised (stiffer) rear underfloor bracing and reinforced rear subframe rubber mounting which sharpen the driver’s steering inputs.

A larger front anti-roll bar and aluminium front and rear anti-roll bar brackets have also been fitted to help with “precise handling”, while a changed front control arm bearing, and negative front camber adjustment further improve handling and cornering grip.

Toyota says the GR Supra Track Edition will further offer retuned situation-responsive electronically controlled shock absorbers that are enhanced to match the suspension upgrades, while likewise tuning the active differential and power steering to “make the most of the chassis’ excellent dynamic capabilities”.

Further, larger GR-branded front brakes provide “better braking control” while improved aerodynamic capabilities come courtesy of a unique front underlip tyre spat, aero flaps around the front wheelarches, and a carbon-fibre ducktail rear spoiler which “accentuates the swooping rear roofline and short rear overhang” of the model.

The car’s 19-inch alloy wheels feature the same 10-spoke design as the GTS grade but are finished in a matte black coating, adding to the Track Edition’s dynamic looks.

Toyota Australia says the Track Edition will be available with the full palette of colours offered across the GR Supra range, along with an exclusive Matte Black option which joins the existing White and Nurburgring Grey matte choices.

Moving inside, the Track Edition provides “additional visual flair” with black Alcantara seat upholstery complete with GR logos on the headrests, red seatbelts, and, on manual versions, a red ring around the shift knob.

Building on the specification of the GTS, the Track Edition offers convenience features including a colour head-up display, 12-speaker JBL premium audio system, wireless smartphone charger and heated seats.

The Track Edition will be available with both six-speed manual or eight-speed torque-converter automatic transmissions, that are paired with a BMW-sourced 3.0-litre six-cylinder turbo-petrol engine producing 285kW from 5800-6500rpm and 500Nm from 1800-5000rpm.

No changes to 0-100km/h time or top speed have been announced.

“The GR Supra is the flagship of the Toyota Gazoo Racing (GR) portfolio, with six-cylinder turbocharged power, rear-wheel-drive dynamics and standout styling which has turned heads ever since the fifth generation launched in 2019,” said Toyota Australia vice president of sales, marketing and franchise operations Sean Hanley.

“There is no clearer sign of its performance pedigree than the GR Supra’s entrance into the 2026 Repco Supercars Championship – a significant milestone in the story of GR.

“The Track Edition is the most focused version of the GR Supra released to date, with upgrades that enthusiasts will be sure to appreciate.”

Mr Hanley said that more information on the GR Supra Track Edition including pricing and full specification will be announced closer to its Australian arrival in mid-2025.
