2020 TOYOTA SUPRA | WZ1DB4C09LW020670

Body Styles

The GR Supra is a two-door fastback coupe designed for maximum rigidity and low center of gravity. It features a long hood, cab-rearward layout, and a double-bubble roof inspired by Toyota’s racing history. The body is sculpted for aerodynamic efficiency and aggressive stance, with wide rear haunches and functional cooling elements. Despite its compact footprint, the design balances track-ready dynamics with everyday road usability. The platform, chassis, suspension, and powertrains are co-developed with BMW, based on the Z4 but uniquely tuned by Toyota’s Gazoo Racing division.

Model Name Meaning (Manufacturer)

“GR” stands for Gazoo Racing, Toyota’s global motorsport and performance division. The “Supra” name originates from Latin supra meaning "above" or "beyond," used by Toyota since 1978 to denote its flagship sports car line. This fifth-generation GR Supra continues that tradition, focused on balanced RWD dynamics, powerful turbo engines, and aggressive GT coupe styling.

Model Name Meaning (Languages)

“Supra” is derived from Latin and means “above”, symbolizing peak performance and status. The “GR” prefix is used internationally to identify models tuned by Toyota’s Gazoo Racing team. Together, "GR Supra" conveys a motorsports-infused evolution of the legendary nameplate with global brand resonance and no translation necessary across markets.

Body & Interior Colors and Rims

The fifth-generation Toyota Supra, reintroduced in 2020 after a two-decade hiatus, arrived with a design that boldly fused Japanese performance heritage with European engineering flair. Its color palette, interior treatments, and wheel options have been consistently crafted to emphasize sportiness, aggression, and a deep sense of driver-focused purpose, while also catering to style-conscious enthusiasts.

The exterior color selection has evolved across model years and special editions, but it has consistently included high-impact, motorsport-inspired shades alongside more refined tones. Standout paints such as Renaissance Red 2.0, Nitro Yellow, and the dramatic Phantom Matte Gray immediately draw attention to the Supra’s sculpted curves and double-bubble roof, while Absolute Zero (a crisp, clean white), Nocturnal (deep black), and Tungsten (warm metallic silver) offer understated elegance. Toyota also introduced specialty finishes through limited models, such as Refraction Blue on the A91 Edition and Stratosphere Blue on later A91-MT and 45th Anniversary editions. Some variants feature exclusive matte finishes that add an aggressive, track-ready aesthetic. Each paint is meticulously applied to enhance the aerodynamic lines and bold front-end styling that define the GR Supra’s visual identity.

Inside, the Supra’s cockpit strikes a balance between minimalist race-car ergonomics and upscale, driver-focused comfort. Standard interior color schemes typically include Black Alcantara or leather, with contrasting red stitching adding a sporty accent. Higher trims and special editions expand the palette with bold combinations such as Black and Red leather, Blue Alcantara in the A91-CF Edition, or Cognac leather in the A91-MT. The materials reflect premium craftsmanship, with soft-touch surfaces, carbon fiber accents, and a compact dashboard layout borrowed from its BMW co-development roots. Some variants feature bespoke trim elements like serialized badges, red Supra logos on the dashboard, or color-keyed inserts that match the exterior. The seating, bolstering, and overall cockpit geometry are designed for spirited driving without sacrificing daily comfort, making the Supra as rewarding on canyon roads as it is on a long commute.

The Supra’s wheel offerings vary by trim and model year, but all emphasize lightweight performance and striking design. Base models feature 18-inch split five-spoke alloys with a machine-finished face, while premium and limited-edition trims upgrade to 19-inch forged aluminum wheels that enhance both handling and visual aggression. These include twin-spoke designs with gloss black, matte black, or gunmetal finishes, depending on the version. The A91-CF Edition debuted with lightweight matte black wheels paired with carbon-fiber aero components, further reinforcing the car’s motorsport DNA. Later special editions such as the 45th Anniversary introduced bold new designs, including polished 19-inch wheels with a retro-inspired aesthetic. Across all trims, the wheels are carefully selected not just for appearance, but for their impact on ride dynamics, weight distribution, and brake cooling — continuing the Supra’s tradition as a performance icon reborn for the modern era.

vs Competitors

The GR Supra competes directly with the BMW Z4 M40i, Nissan Z, Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE, and Ford Mustang GT Performance Pack. Compared to the Z4, the Supra feels sharper and more rigid, thanks to its fixed roof and Toyota-specific tuning. Against the Nissan Z, it offers a more refined platform and better low-end torque, though the Z wins in retro charm and price. The Camaro and Mustang deliver more raw power and V8 character, but lack the Supra’s precise chassis and compact agility.

In the realm of two-seat sports cars, the Supra also challenges the Alpine A110 (Europe), Audi TT RS, and Toyota GR86 (lower tier). Among these, it balances daily comfort and pure performance better than most, with a more exotic look and track potential.

Fun Fact

The GR Supra’s 3.0L B58 inline-six is one of the most tuner-friendly engines in production — capable of producing 500+ hp on stock internals with just bolt-ons and ECU tuning. It also shares architecture with the BMW M340i and Z4 M40i, but with Toyota-specific suspension geometry, unique steering calibration, and faster throttle mapping — making it a true dual-blooded sport coupe.
