The A90 Toyota Supra Final Edition has been unveiled, marking the end of the current-generation sports car. This limited-run model brings more power, performance upgrades, and exclusive styling. However, the biggest talking point is its massive price jump compared to the standard six-cylinder model.

Why Is It So Expensive?
Several factors contribute to the high price tag. First, it’s the last of its kind, making it a collector’s item. Second, Toyota has made significant performance enhancements, including a power boost and hardware upgrades. Lastly, only 300 units will be available across Europe and Japan, adding to its exclusivity.
In Germany, the Supra A90 Final Edition is priced at €142,800, almost double the cost of a standard 3.0-liter model (€73,250). In France, it’s even pricier at €144,000, and interested buyers must win a lottery just to purchase one!
What Else Can You Buy for That Price?
With such a steep price tag, car enthusiasts might wonder if the Supra A90 Final Edition is actually worth it. For the same amount of money, buyers could opt for a BMW M4 Competition xDrive, which offers all-wheel drive and a powerful twin-turbo engine. The Lotus Emira V6 is another option, providing a lightweight, mid-engine driving experience with Toyota’s own V6 powertrain. Those who prefer a performance icon could get a Porsche 911 Carrera T, which starts at €141,700 in Germany.
Interestingly, a quick search online shows that the same amount of money could also get you a Ferrari 458 or an Audi R8 with its glorious naturally aspirated V-10 engine. However, compared to the Alpine A110 R Ultime, which costs a staggering €330,000, the Supra A90 Final Edition seems like a relative bargain.
Performance Upgrades: More Than Just a Fancy Badge
The Supra A90 Final Edition isn’t just about exclusivity—it packs serious mechanical upgrades. The 3.0-litre turbocharged B58 engine now produces 429 hp, an increase from the standard model’s 382 hp. Torque has also risen to 420 lb-ft (570 Nm). Interestingly, this makes it the most powerful version of the B58 engine ever used, even surpassing BMW’s own applications.
Toyota has equipped this special edition with larger Brembo front brakes for improved stopping power. It also features an Akrapovič titanium exhaust system, which not only reduces weight but also delivers a more aggressive exhaust note. The KW adjustable suspension allows drivers to fine-tune the car’s handling for both road and track use. To enhance grip, the Supra gets wider Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres, measuring 265/35 ZR19 at the front and 285/30 ZR20 at the rear.
Aerodynamics and Interior Upgrades
Toyota has added a carbon fibre aero pack, which includes a front spoiler, rear swan-neck wing, and a removable hood duct that provides extra cooling during track days. These features not only improve performance but also give the car a more aggressive look.
Inside, the Final Edition comes with carbon fibre Recaro bucket seats that provide better support during high-speed driving. The seats are finished with red seatbelts for a sporty touch. Toyota has also included plenty of Alcantara throughout the cabin, enhancing the premium feel of the interior.
Will There Be a U.S. Version?
Toyota has not yet announced a Final Edition Supra for the U.S. market, but given the brand’s history, it’s likely that an ultra-expensive, limited-run Supra variant will arrive soon.
