2025 GR Supra Track Edition Hits Australian Shores with Premium Pricing

Toyota Australia has officially priced the highly anticipated 2025 GR Supra Track Edition at $105,295 before on-road costs ahead of its arrival in Toyota Australia dealerships next month. This makes it the most expensive Supra variant ever sold in Australia, positioning the track-focused sports coupe as the flagship of Toyota’s GR performance portfolio ahead of the brand’s entry into the 2026 Supercars Championship.

Track-Bred Performance Enhancements

Chassis and Suspension Upgrades

The Track Edition represents the pinnacle of the current A90-generation Supra’s development, incorporating a raft of circuit-honed engineering upgrades designed to enhance the car’s already impressive dynamic capabilities. Toyota’s engineers have focused on improving the fundamental connection between driver and machine through comprehensive chassis modifications.

The most significant mechanical upgrades include retuned steering joins sharpened suspension incorporating active shock absorbers, a larger front anti-roll bar and more negative camber on the front wheels, designed to improve handling response and mechanical grip. These changes work in conjunction with reinforced rear subframe rubber mounting and stiffer rear underfloor bracing to sharpen steering response and enhance overall vehicle stability.

Aerodynamic and Visual Enhancements

Distinguishing the Track Edition from its siblings are several aerodynamic and aesthetic improvements that not only enhance performance but also signal the car’s track-focused intent. New body work including a front underlip tyre spat, wheel-arch aero flaps and a carbon-fibre ducktail rear spoiler work together to improve airflow management and downforce generation.

The Track Edition sits on 19-inch 10-spoke alloy wheels – the same design as the GTS but with a unique matte black finish, complemented by larger GR-branded brake calipers that provide enhanced stopping power for track use.

Powertrain and Performance

Proven BMW-Sourced Engine

While the Track Edition focuses primarily on handling refinements, the proven powertrain remains unchanged from the existing GR Supra lineup. There’s no additional power from the 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder petrol engine, which continues to output 285kW of power and 500Nm of torque, sent through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels.

The decision to maintain the existing power output reflects Toyota’s focus on extracting maximum performance through chassis refinement rather than simply adding more power. This approach aligns with the brand’s philosophy of balanced performance that prioritizes driver engagement over headline-grabbing horsepower figures.

Market Positioning and Competition

Premium Pricing Strategy

The Track Edition’s $105,295 price point places it $19,000 more expensive than the entry-level Supra GT manual ($86,295 before on-roads) and $9000 pricier than the Supra GTS manual ($96,295). This pricing strategy reflects Toyota’s positioning of the Track Edition as a limited-production, high-performance variant that justifies its premium through exclusive features and enhanced capability.

It also makes the hottest Supra only the third Toyota Australia model to be priced above $100,000, joining the Tundra pickup (from $155,990) and all bar the entry-level version of the LandCruiser 300 Series.

Competitive Landscape

Despite its premium pricing, the Track Edition remains competitively positioned against its direct rivals. That price is also $11,000 higher than the Nissan Z Nismo, while it undercuts the BMW M2 by over $21,000, making it an attractive proposition for enthusiasts seeking track-focused performance without the ultimate premium price tag.

Interior and Technology Features

Driver-Focused Cabin

The Track Edition’s interior modifications reinforce its performance credentials while maintaining daily usability. The Track Edition provides additional visual flair with black Alcantara®2 seat upholstery complete with GR logos on the headrests, red seatbelts and on manual versions, a red ring around the shift knob.

Standard equipment includes a 12-speaker JBL audio system, wireless smartphone charger and heated seats, ensuring the Track Edition remains practical for everyday use despite its track-focused nature.

The Final Chapter

Swan Song of Current Generation

The Track Edition arrives as the last new local variant of a model that’s due to be replaced by an all-new hybrid-only generation. This timing makes the Track Edition particularly significant for enthusiasts, representing the ultimate expression of the current A90 platform before Toyota transitions to a new, electrified architecture.

Supercars Connection

The Track Edition’s launch timing isn’t coincidental, as it arrives less than a year before Toyota will enter Australian Supercars racing for the first time in 2026. This connection to Toyota’s motorsport ambitions adds emotional significance to what is already a mechanically impressive package.

What Australia Misses

While Australian enthusiasts can celebrate the arrival of the Track Edition, they’ll have to accept that the ultimate Supra variant remains off-limits. Only 300 of the A90 Final Edition will be made with about half going to Japan and the other half most likely headed towards Europe. This more powerful variant, with its enhanced output and even more aggressive aerodynamic package, represents what could have been the perfect send-off for the current generation.

Availability and Future Outlook

Toyota Australia says the Track Edition is not a limited edition and won’t be restricted in availability, meaning interested buyers won’t face the typical allocation constraints associated with special edition sports cars. However, given the approaching end of the current generation’s production cycle, availability windows may still be limited.
