The Toyota Supra is one of those sports cars that everyone respects, no matter what automotive discipline you follow. The fifth generation, MkV Supra, arrived in 2019 (MY 2020) after a more than two-decade hiatus in the U.S., riding on BMW Z4 internals with Toyota GAZOO tuning upgrades. And while many JDM faithful initially scoffed at the German engineering compared to past Supra models, most notably the previous MkIV and its screaming 2JZ six-cylinder, the MkV’s designs and driving impressions eventually swayed many an enthusiast to let it slide.

Now, in 2025, we’re at yet another milestone in this icon’s story, as we bid farewell to the fifth generation. Despite its BMW ties, the 2026 GR Supra remains notable for the Japanese brand; it serves as a significant bookend, and Toyota plans to make that fact known by introducing a MkV Final Edition. With a slew of upgrades, both cosmetic and mechanical, the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition aims to ensure we never forget this chapter.
To provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, this article uses data sourced from Toyota and various trusted sources.
The MkV Final Edition Sends The Fifth Generation Out With A Literal Bang
At first glance, the 2026 GR Supra is dazzling, thanks to curvaceous sculpting and sharp aerodynamics. The MkV Final Edition adds to this with a special design package, though the real spice is in what’s felt, not what’s seen. Toyota’s GR division lends numerous upgrades to the MkV Final Edition that put it a step above the standard GR Supra offering, which is saying a lot since it already performs like a peach.
Performance Remains The Most Important Factor
Upgrades for the MkV Final Edition include both chassis and aerodynamic enhancements that work in concert to improve handling and compliance when pushing the limits. While some foreign markets are getting a more intense version of the MkV Final Edition — the A90 MkV FE — pushing out 429 horsepower from the BMW-sourced turbo inline-six, the U.S.-spec will pack the standard version of the turbo-six, which delivers a good 382 horsepower and up to 26 combined MPG with the auto box.

While we won’t get the foreign market’s power boost, we will see upgrades to the chassis and suspension in the form of EPS tuning that refine differential controls, maps, and feedback, which are aimed at improving traction and reducing understeer when cornering. Larger Brembos, a strengthened chassis with improved rigidity, revised camber angle, retuned adaptive dampers and a stronger front stabilizer, strengthened rubber bushings at the front control arms, and strengthened rubber rear sub-frame mounts also aid the MkV Final Edition’s cornering stability, and overall improve high-speed confidence.
Refinement Is The Name Of The Game
In the spirit of “kaizen”, or continuous improvement, Toyota regularly updates and improves its models, and the GR Supra is no exception to that philosophy. The 2026 GR Supra sports improvements to the suspension, braking, aero design, body rigidity, and tuning in order to hone its craft and milk every drop of performance out of the machine — and this is before the MkV FE’s upgrades and special tuning are applied.
These refinements may be small in some areas, but they come from a genuine place of motorsport expertise, with GAZOO Racing engineers spending countless hours testing the GR Supra in various high-stress scenarios that range from drifting and circuit lapping at the highest level, to simply backroad cruising, in an effort to ensure the vehicle is everything you’d ever need/want, and nothing you don’t.
How The MkV Final Edition Drives
As mentioned, some improvements may seem small, but when you’re diving into a corner at high speed, every tweak becomes a monumental push toward control. This was the sentiment relayed by our good friends over at HotCars, who had the opportunity to not only test the 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition, but also test and compare it to the 2023 GR Supra, as well as the latest GR86. The power from the turbo-six is aggressive, so having any extra handling buff will help tame the beast and make it go where you want it to.
Those corners were tricky, the straights were fast, and the rest of the time we were just flying around in our Supra bestie. The revised suspension tuning and increased rigidity seemed more apparent in these moments, helping keep the MkV planted on the ground even when we were taking quick corners.

Again, the U.S. won’t get the juicy 429-horsepower A90 MkV Final Edition, but, according to those who have driven the U.S. spec, it’s still a rocket that blends high-performance ability with daily drivability in a way that isn’t often experienced — at least, not without their fair share of sacrifices. In other words, the 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition is a true weapon on the weekends and a decent commuter on the weekdays.
Design And Enhanced Aero Features Up The Ante
We’ve waxed the performance, and we’d wax some more given the opportunity, but I’d be remiss to omit the design and overall visual impact of the 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition. This is, after all, a bookend to a fairly respected, if not controversial at times, generation. The bold aggression leaps out to strike as soon as you lay eyes on the GR Supra. From the snarling grille to the curvy hips and rear end, the fifth-gen took the design language of the famous MkIV and told it to “look mean.”
A Genuine High-Performance Approach All Around
The MkV FE takes the design up a notch with a carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, and higher front tire spats for enhanced airflow management. These additions, while eye-catching, also serve to improve the vehicle’s handling and stability in the name of top-tier performance. The improved aerodynamic balance and downforce were reported by HotCars during their testing of the GR Supra MkV FE, stating that they came in handy at speeds and helped keep the car planted while increasing confidence.
The improved design works with the chassis and suspension upgrades and tuning to deliver an all-around composed machine that can cut loose without punishing you for not being a professional driver. It’s a track-capable car for the everyday enthusiast, able to dazzle and coddle thanks to the overall build not being all-out octane. While it may not be as cushy as a Camry, it’s far quicker, and it won’t have you stopping every 30 minutes to stretch out lumbar cramps like some performance-oriented sports coupes.
The Driver-Centric Layout Pairs With Contemporary Flair
Hop inside the 2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition, and you’re greeted with a fair amount of quality features. While the overall minimalist layout is intended, the cabin is focused on the driving experience with supportive Alcántara/leather-trimmed power-adjustable sport seating that features driver’s seat memory with lumbar and bolster adjustments, as well as sport pedals. Red stitching and GR embroidery pair with red seat belts, carbon fiber flair, and copious color accents throughout to complete the cabin’s visual contributions. Other features for the 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition include:
- Full-color heads-up display
- 8.8-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay
- 8.8-inch digital cluster
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror
- Cruise control
- Dual-zone climate control
The Sun Sets On The MkV GR Supra
As mentioned, the fifth generation of the Supra is coming to a close after the 2026 model year, with production set to end in spring 2026. While it may not be the end of the nameplate entirely, the MkV Final Edition will close out this generation. Looking back at the fifth generation as a whole reveals numerous design and mechanical refinements that will undoubtedly play a part in the Supra’s next phase, whatever that may be.
Highlights Of The Fifth Generation
There have been a few special models to come from the MkV generation, with some being even more rare than the new MkV Final Edition. The 2022 GR Supra A91-CF Edition had a production run of only 600 models, and introduced an array of carbon fiber, hence the CF, to the MkV’s recipe to deliver improved aero and performance. A few years later, for the 2024 model year, the 45th Anniversary Edition arrived, paying homage to the famed MkIV Supra via cosmetic enhancements. These are but a few notable instances, with the GR Supra gaining fame in the motorsport world as well.
Why The Final Edition Is The Perfect End To The MkV GR Supra
In simple terms, it takes all the lessons learned throughout the fifth generation and combines the refined results in one package. The 2026 GR Supra Final Edition also leaves buyers the option to dive deeper into Supra lore with the GT4 style pack, which is inspired by the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 racecar. With endless nostalgia on tap, as well as a wealth of thoughtful upgrades that don’t overshadow the essence of the Supra, the MkV FE will likely stand as a decent collectible in the decades to come, even if only for its generation-ending relevance — but we think its performance will also aid its forthcoming notoriety.
