UPDATE: Manual GR Supra in Australia from November

The updated 2023 Toyota GR Supra, including the long-awaited manual option, will be on sale in Australia from November 10.

Confirmation of a manual transmission for the new GR Supra came back in March, after months of speculation that the automatic offered at launch would not be the only transmission available.

Toyota then revealed the manual-equipped Supra in April and quickly confirmed its availability for the Australian market.

As detailed below, the manual will be offered in two grades: the entry-level Supra GT, priced from $87,000, and the flagship Supra GTS listed from $97,000 – both are plus on-roads.

September 8: 2023 GR Supra pricing and features announced

Snapshot

  • 2023 Toyota GR Supra pricing and features
  • Six-speed manual transmission now available
  • Larger rear brakes now standard, GTS gains lighter 19-inch wheels

The updated 2023 Toyota GR Supra has been priced for Australia, ahead of its arrival before the end of the year.

Headlining the changes is the addition of a new six-speed manual transmission, which has been specifically developed to match the performance of the rear-drive, BMW Z4-based Supra’s 285kW/500Nm 3.0-litre straight six engine.

It will be available in two variants: the entry-level Supra GT, priced from $87,000, and the flagship Supra GTS listed from $97,000 – both are plus on-roads.

Manual examples miss out on adaptive cruise control and reverse autonomous emergency braking.

For both variants, this represents a price increase of $506 compared to the 2022 Toyota GR Supra, which scored an $809 reduction in July.

As such, prices have remained mostly steady following the launch of the previous update in December 2020.

Red brake calipers and larger rear ventilated brakes are now fitted across the Supra range, while the flagship GTS gains new-design 19-inch forged alloy wheels with revised spoke and cross-sectional shapes.

Finished in a premium titanium dark silver finish, the revised wheels have a weight reduction of 1.2 kilograms per wheel.

Toyota has also adjusted the Supra’s colour palette for 2023, with copper grey, azure blue and matte white replacing the existing, racetrack-themed Suzuka silver and Goodwood grey.

Since its launch in Australia in 2019, more than 700 examples have been delivered, with the two-door facing fresh competition from the newly-launched Nissan Z, which is available with a 298kW/475Nm 3.0-litre turbo V6 matched with a six-speed manual or nine-speed automatic transmission.

It produces 285kW (at 5000-6500rpm) and 500Nm (at 1600-4500rpm), and is matched with a ZF-sourced eight-speed torque converter automatic, or new-for-2023 six-speed manual transmission.

Toyota claims the automatic GR Supra will complete the 0-100km/h sprint in 4.1 seconds, while the manual version is rated at 4.6 seconds. It has an electronically limited 250km/h top speed.

Fuel economy figures can be found in the table below:

3.0-litre turbo manual TBA
3.0-litre turbo automatic 7.7L/100km

Safety

The Toyota GR Supra has yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP, however, the related BMW Z4 received a five-star rating, based on testing conducted in 2019.

Seven airbags (dual front, side head, curtain and driver’s knee) are fitted across the Supra range.

Each variant includes the following active safety equipment as standard:

Autonomous emergency braking (vehicle, pedestrian and cyclist)
Reverse emergency braking (automatic only)
Lane-keep assist
Lane departure warning
Adaptive cruise control (automatic)
Traditional cruise control (manual)
Blind-spot alert
Rear-cross traffic alert
Automatic high beam
Rain-sensing wipers
Reversing camera.

Dimensions

The Toyota GR Supra has a wheelbase of 2470 millimetres, and is 4379mm long, 1854mm wide and 1292mm high.

It has a 290-litre boot space.

Warranty and servicing

As per the wider Toyota range, the GR Supra is covered by the brand’s five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty, along with seven years of engine and driveline coverage.

Roadside assistance is available to purchase for $99 per year.

Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever occurs first. The first four services will cost $385.

Availability

The 2023 Toyota GR Supra will arrive in Australian showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2022 (October to December inclusive).
