Supra Farewell, GR Performance Lives On
For six unforgettable years, the Toyota GR Supra delivered excitement, precision, and unmistakable presence on Australian roads. From its local launch in September 2019 through to the closure of orders in August 2025, the Supra rekindled a legend and introduced a new generation of drivers to Toyota performance. Now in 2026, the current-generation GR Supra has officially been discontinued in Australia. While new customer orders have ended, the Supra’s story and influence continue to shape Toyota’s performance future.
A Modern Revival of an Icon
When Toyota reintroduced the Supra nameplate, expectations were sky high. The badge carried decades of heritage, and enthusiasts were eager to see how it would translate into a modern performance coupe. The GR Supra delivered. Rear-wheel-drive balance, turbocharged power, and a driver-focused cockpit combined to create a car that felt alive on every stretch of road. Its sculpted design ensured it stood out, whether parked on St Georges Terrace or carving through a favourite Perth Hills route.

Grades Offered in Australia
Toyota offered three distinct Supra variants locally:
GT
A pure sports car experience with premium comfort and technology.
Powered by a 285kW turbocharged inline six with a choice of six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. Smart entry, keyless ignition, heated eight-way power seats and carbon-look interior trim combined performance with everyday comfort.
GTS
Added refinement and enhanced features for drivers wanting everyday usability with serious performance.
Alongside the 285kW turbocharged engine and manual or automatic transmission options, it introduced 19-inch alloy wheels, red sport brake calipers and a 12-speaker JBL® premium audio system for a more elevated driving experience.
Track Edition
The most focused and dynamically sharpened Supra available.
Motorsport-inspired suspension upgrades, additional chassis bracing and aerodynamic enhancements worked with matte black 19-inch alloy wheels, red brake calipers and a carbon fibre ducktail spoiler to deliver sharper track-ready performance.
What Discontinuation Means for Buyers
Production and customer orders for the GR Supra in Australia have now concluded. This means new factory orders are no longer available, and dealer stock has largely been finalised. As a result, existing vehicles have become increasingly desirable. For enthusiasts, this is often the point where a respected performance model shifts from being simply exciting to genuinely collectible, reinforcing the GR Supra’s lasting appeal.
Performance That Continues Beyond Supra
If you love the GR Supra’s performance DNA, you will feel right at home in Toyota’s current GR line-up. These models carry the same driver-focused engineering, precision handling, and genuine excitement that define Toyota performance.
Toyota GR86
Pure Driver Engagement
The Toyota GR86 stays true to the classic sports car formula. Lightweight, rear-wheel drive, and beautifully balanced, it delivers sharp responses and genuine connection to the road. Its 2.4-litre horizontally opposed engine, low centre of gravity, and precise steering combine to create a coupe that feels agile, confident, and rewarding on every drive
Toyota GR Corolla
Everyday Practicality, Serious Pace
The GR Corolla pairs turbocharged performance with everyday versatility. An advanced all-wheel-drive system and motorsport-inspired engineering deliver strong acceleration, impressive grip, and confident handling. It is as comfortable tackling the daily commute as it is unleashing its performance on an open road.
Toyota GR Yaris
Rally-Bred Excitement
The GR Yaris is compact, energetic, and engineered for pure fun. Its turbocharged engine and GR-FOUR all-wheel-drive system provide remarkable traction and responsiveness. Lightweight and agile, it delivers an engaging drive that feels lively at any speed.
Choosing Your Next GR Performance Vehicle
Each GR model offers a distinct personality:
GR86 for balance, purity, and rear-wheel-drive fun.
GR Corolla for turbocharged power and daily versatility.
GR Yaris for rally-inspired agility and excitement
What they all share is Toyota’s commitment to building cars that put the driver first.
