Available in both 3.0 and 3.0 Premium grades, the 2025 Toyota GR Supra is engineered to deliver an unmatched sports car experience.
Under the hood of the 2025 GR Supra lies a potent inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine, unleashing up to 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque. This powerhouse ensures blistering acceleration and responsive performance in any driving scenario. Adding to the driver-centric design, both the 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models offer the choice between a precision automatic transmission and a rewarding manual transmission, catering to diverse driving preferences.
The foundation of the GR Supra’s exceptional handling is its meticulously engineered chassis and performance-focused equipment. Standard features across the lineup include a double-joint MacPherson front suspension and multi-link independent rear suspension, sport-calibrated electronic power steering, and dual rear exhaust outlets. These components work in harmony to provide sharp, agile handling and confident control. Furthermore, all 2025 GR Supra models are fitted with high-performance Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport tires, maximizing grip and ensuring the rear-wheel-drive platform delivers every ounce of its potential to the road.
Experience the Thrill: Driving Dynamics of the 2025 GR Supra
From the moment you ignite the engine, the 2025 GR Supra awakens your senses. The dual-branch exhaust manifold, enhanced with six ports, produces a deep, resonant growl that signals the power within. But it’s not just about sound; the engine’s design focuses on thermal management and airflow optimization, allowing it to maintain an impressive 10.2:1 compression ratio while preventing engine knock under high boost conditions.
The engine’s responsiveness is truly remarkable, delivering high torque even at high RPMs. This eagerness to rev, combined with turbine-like smoothness, translates to breathtaking acceleration. The 2025 GR Supra can launch from 0-60 mph in a mere 3.9 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission and 4.2 seconds with the manual transmission. Despite this exhilarating performance, fuel efficiency remains respectable, with manufacturer-estimated figures of 23 city/31 highway/26 combined mpg for 3.0 grades equipped with the automatic transmission. This balance of power and efficiency is partly thanks to the standard start/stop technology, which conserves fuel by shutting off the engine when the car is stationary.
Drivers can tailor the GR Supra’s driving character using selectable modes: Normal, Sport, and Individual. These modes adjust throttle response, suspension damping, and power steering settings, allowing for customization based on driving conditions and preferences. Both 3.0 and 3.0 Premium grades feature Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS). This advanced system uses sensors to continuously monitor driving inputs and road conditions, and then uses solenoid valves to precisely control the shock absorbers’ damping force. In NORMAL mode, the AVS provides a balanced ride, blending stability with comfort for everyday driving. Switching to SPORT mode sharpens the vehicle’s dynamics, delivering a flatter stance with reduced body roll and more responsive steering, perfect for spirited driving sessions.
Toyota engineers further refined the GR Supra’s suspension in 2023, optimizing the shock absorbers and settings to strike an ideal balance between body roll control and ride comfort. The electric power steering system also received attention, with mechanical components and operating parameters tuned for even more agile handling. An active rear sport differential comes standard on all models, enhancing traction and cornering performance.
Premium Interior and Striking Exterior of the 2025 GR Supra
Stepping inside the 2025 GR Supra is an experience in refined sportiness. The 3.0 grade features black soft-touch Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with power adjustability as standard. For an even more luxurious ambiance, the 3.0 Premium grade offers power-adjustable seats trimmed in either black leather or a distinctive hazelnut-colored leather.
For audiophiles, the 2025 GR Supra 3.0 Premium comes standard with a 12-speaker, 500-watt JBL® Hi-Fi sound system, transforming every drive into a concert-like experience. The 3.0 grade can be upgraded to the same premium JBL system with the available Safety & Technology Plus JBL Package. GR 3.0 models equipped with the Safety & Technology package also gain Toyota Supra Connect.
The exterior of the 2025 GR Supra is just as captivating, with a range of striking color options including Stratosphere* (blue), Absolute Zero (white), Nocturnal (black), and Renaissance Red 2.0. The 2025 GR Supra is anticipated to arrive at dealerships in the fall, with a starting MSRP of $56,250 for the GR Supra 3.0 model, plus a Dealer Processing and Handling (DPH) fee of $1,095. The GR Supra 3.0 Premium model starts at $59,400 MSRP, also with the DPH fee, regardless of transmission choice.

The Manual Transmission Experience: A Hands-On Connection
A significant and highly anticipated addition to the Mk V Supra lineup is the availability of a manual transmission, introduced in 2023 and continuing for the 2025 model year. Developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing engineers in collaboration with Toyota Motor Europe and transmission specialist ZF, this manual gearbox is a no-cost option on both the Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models.
This isn’t just any manual transmission; it was specifically engineered to complement the power and torque characteristics of the GR Supra’s 3.0-liter, 382-hp straight-six engine. The engineering team meticulously selected components, combining an existing transmission housing and gear set with a newly developed shift lever. Unnecessary elements, such as the acoustic package, were removed to reduce weight, resulting in a manual transmission-equipped Supra weighing in at 3,389 pounds. A new large-diameter clutch with a reinforced diaphragm spring sits at the heart of the transmission, providing the high-performance capability needed to handle the engine’s substantial torque.
The manual gearbox also incorporates Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) software, prioritizing a sporty driving feel. During upshifts, iMT optimizes engine torque at the precise moment of clutch engagement and release for seamless transitions. On downshifts, the software provides rev-matching, ensuring smooth and consistent performance. While iMT is the default setting, drivers seeking a more traditional manual experience can disable it via the Individual Mode.
Ergonomics played a crucial role in the manual shifter’s design and integration into the cockpit. The lever ratio was carefully chosen to minimize shifting effort, and the weight and shape of the shift knob were meticulously defined for optimal feel. Even the console unit and drive mode selector position were adjusted to create a comfortable 1.7-inch clearance between the shift knob and the control panel.
Optimized Traction, Stability, and Agility for Manual Models
The integration of the manual transmission in the 2025 GR Supra extends beyond just the gearbox itself. Toyota engineers have fine-tuned the traction and braking systems to optimize performance with the stick shift. While the automatic transmission allows for second-gear starts on slippery inclines, the manual transmission requires a first-gear start, potentially increasing the risk of wheel spin. To mitigate this, the TRAC (TRAction Control) system has been specifically calibrated for manual-equipped models to provide smooth launches similar to the automatic version.
The TRAC system is also optimized to manage the GR Supra’s high engine torque, wide tires, and rear-wheel-drive configuration when exiting corners. Maintaining the car’s agility and stability under throttle is key to the GR Supra’s “Fun to Drive” character. The traction control system is tuned to strike the perfect balance, allowing for a sporty experience while maintaining stability and adhering faithfully to the driver’s intended line.
To proactively address potential “snap-off” oversteer, both manual and automatic GR Supra models utilize an Anti-Roll Program (ARP). This system intervenes with the Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) earlier to counteract sudden loss of grip, particularly when the car’s highly responsive suspension settings are engaged.
