Toyota confirms end of Supra production in March 2026

Timothy Prakash

After five years back on the market, Toyota has confirmed that the current-generation Supra will bow out in March 2026, marking the end of production for one of the brand’s most iconic sports cars. The announcement follows the introduction of the Final Edition earlier this year, signalling that the end was near for the much-loved GR Supra.

In a short but heartfelt statement, Toyota expressed gratitude to fans and customers who have supported the model over the years, acknowledging the disappointment among those still hoping to buy one before it’s gone. The company also advised interested buyers to contact local dealerships for alternative sports models once production ceases.

The reborn Supra made its global debut at the 2019 Detroit Auto Show, arriving more than two decades after its predecessor left the market. Its return ended a 21-year hiatus, during which time Toyota gradually teased the car’s revival — first through concepts like the FT-1 in 2014 and later through prototypes co-developed with BMW.

Built on a shared platform with the BMW Z4, the fifth-generation Supra — officially known as the A90 — brought Toyota back into the rear-wheel-drive performance segment. The collaboration saw the Supra adopt BMW’s B58 3.0-litre turbocharged inline-six engine at launch, paired exclusively with a ZF eight-speed automatic transmission. A year later, Toyota added the smaller B48 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder option to broaden its appeal, and eventually, the long-awaited six-speed manual gearbox was introduced — though only for the 3.0-litre model.

The 2026 Toyota Supra Final Edition marks the final chapter of the A90’s production run. In the United States, it delivers 382hp and 523 Nm of torque from the 3.0-litre inline-six, allowing the coupe to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.9 seconds. For Japan and Europe, a more potent version has been developed, producing 429hp and 569 Nm of torque. Only 300 units of this upgraded Final Edition will be built for those markets, making it one of the rarest modern Supras to date.

Though its departure will leave a void in Toyota’s sports car lineup, fans can take comfort in knowing this is unlikely to be the Supra’s last act. The company has already hinted that a successor is in the works, though details — including whether it will remain petrol-powered or transition to an electrified setup — remain under wraps.

For now, the Supra exits on a high note — a car that not only reignited Toyota’s performance legacy but also helped usher in a new generation of enthusiasts. Its blend of heritage, precision engineering, and modern performance ensures that, even as production winds down, the Supra name will continue to carry weight in the world of sports cars.
