2024 Toyota GR Supra

For over four decades, the Toyota Supra has earned a reputation as an icon among sports car enthusiasts. From its first-generation roots as the Celica Supra in 1979 to its current fifth-generation form as the GR Supra, the model has captured drivers’ hearts over the years with a blend of power, handling, tech, and style. For 2024, Toyota pays tribute to that history with an eye-popping 45th Anniversary Edition.

Powerful Performance, Striking Style: The 2024 Toyota GR Supra

  • GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition Brings a MkIV Tribute to Model Year 2024
  • Choice of 2.0L or 3.0L Twin Scroll Turbocharged Engine Equipped Models
  • 3.0 Premium Cabin and Seating Adds Rich Hazelnut Interior Color Option
  • Automatic or Manual Transmission Available on 3.0, 3.0 Premium and 45th Anniversary Ed.
  • GR Supra Connect Extended Up to 10-Year Trial Period for 2020-2023 Model Years on All Grades
  • Complimentary 1-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association, featuring a High-Performance Driving Event with expert instruction

PLANO, Texas 2023) – With its head-turning sports car style and powerful rear-wheel drive performance, the Toyota GR Supra has captured the fun-to-drive spirit of TOYOTA GAZOO Racing. Since it was relaunched in 2019, the fifth generation (MkV) model has earned a reputation for offering balanced handling and punch-above-its-weight performance, all while honoring its legendary place in Toyota’s sports car lineage. For 2024, the GR Supra lineup keeps the celebration roaring.

For starters, a 45th Anniversary Edition adds a GR Supra model to the lineup with a nod to the past. Paying tribute to the Supra’s place in pop culture, it’s available in a choice of fiery orange Mikan Blast or icy white Absolute Zero and equipped with an elevated gloss black rear spoiler, standard. Built on the 3.0 Premium grade, it wears 19-inch matte black wheels, features a black Supra side decal, and is available in a choice of Manual or Automatic Transmission (MT or AT), so it’s sure to turns heads while delivering smooth, satisfying shifts around the corners.

The 45th Anniversary Edition joins the already performance-packed lineup of 2.0- or 3.0-liter engine equipped GR Supra models. Drivers can choose from the GR Supra 3.0 or 3.0 Premium grades, powered by an inline six-cylinder turbocharged engine that outputs 382-hp and 368 lb.-ft. of torque or the GR Supra 2.0 grade with an inline 4-cylinder engine that outputs 255-hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque. The 2.0 model does shave a bit of weight off the scales, with a curb weight that is about 200 pounds less than the 3.0 grades.

The GR Supra also continues offering performance-focused standard equipment across all models, like a double joint-type MacPherson front and multi-link independent rear suspension, sport calibrated electronic power steering, and dual rear exhaust outlets. All models wear high performance Michelin Super Sport tires for maximum grip of the Supra’s Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) platform.

On the inside, drivers experience a refined cockpit. The 3.0 Premium brings a luxury feel with power adjustable, leather trimmed seats, and for 2024 adds a new Hazelnut seat and interior color with black also being available. Black soft touch Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats are standard on the 2.0 grade and 3.0 base grade models, with manual adjustment on the 2.0 and power adjustment on the 3.0. All GR Supra models come with standard knee cushions for support while hugging the curves.

Audio options add a sonic dimension to a drive in the GR Supra with a 12-speaker, 500-watt JBL® Hi-Fi system standard on the 3.0 Premium. Both the 2.0 and 3.0 models can be upgraded to the 12-speaker JBL system when the available Safety & Technology Plus JBL Package is equipped. For 2024, all GR Supra 2.0 and 3.0 models equipped with the Safety & Technology package will come with Supra Connect Extended Services1. Additionally, Supra Connect Extended Services have been activated for eligible 2020-23 GR Supra models equipped with connected services hardware.

Exterior colors offered across the 2.0 and 3.0 model lineup include Stratosphere (blue), Absolute Zero (white), Nocturnal (black), and Renaissance Red. Mikan Blast is exclusive to the 45th Anniversary Edition. The 2024 GR Supra is expected to arrive on dealer lots this fall with a starting Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Pricing (MSRP) of $45,540 plus Dealer Processing and Handling (DPH) of $1,095 for the GR Supra 2.0 model. The GR Supra 3.0 model starts at an MSRP of $54,500 plus DPH (AT or MT equipped).

Driving the GR Supra

The GR Supra’s balance of ride quality, powerful acceleration, and agile handling offers an experience that excites the senses from the moment drivers push the start button. Equipped with a dual-branch exhaust manifold, with six ports instead of two, a deep growl rumbles to life at ignition. The exhaust note is just one part of the equation, as the engine is also designed to manage heat and airflow to maximize its 10.2:1 compression ratio while preventing abnormal combustion due to high boost.

With an engine that produces high torque at high rpm, the GR Supra retains the eagerness to rev with turbine-like smoothness, delivering a manufacturer estimated 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds in the 8-speed AT and 4.2 seconds in the MT 3.0 models and 5.0 seconds in the 2.0 grade. Even with all that power, GR Supra 3.0 grades equipped with the AT will achieve a manufacturer  estimated 26 mpg combined (25 city/31 highway/27 combined), with the Supra 2.0 achieving a manufacturer  estimated 27 mpg combined. Fuel economy is due in part to standard  start/stop technology, which shuts the engine off while the car is at rest.

On all grades, drivers can select from Normal, Sport, and Individual modes that adjust throttle response, suspension damping, and power steering settings. Additionally, the 3.0 grade and up include an Adaptative Variable Suspension (AVS) with sensors that constantly detect changes in the driving operations and road surface conditions, and solenoid valves finely control the damping force of the shock absorbers. In 3.0 grade and higher, NORMAL mode provides a high-level balance between vehicle stability and supple ride comfort, enabling sports driving without sacrificing comfort. SPORT mode realizes a reassuring and flat vehicle posture with suppressed roll and driving with a more agile steering response.

All 2024 GR Supra 3.0 models, both AT and MT versions, also benefit from suspension tuning and shock absorbers set for a balance between body roll and ride comfort. The mechanical components in the electric power steering and the system’s operating parameters are also tuned for agile handling. All 3.0 models come with an active rear sport differential standard.

45th Anniversary Edition

It’s fitting that the fourth year of the fifth-generation model celebrates 45 years of the Supra name. Built on the 3.0 Premium Grade and equipped with the B-58 twin scroll turbocharged inline-six-cylinder engine, th 45th Anniversary Edition GR Supra’s low-slung, condensed extreme design is complemented by a large, manually adjustable rear spoiler. The spoiler rises about three inches above the rear decklid and has an adjustment screw that allows drivers to change its angle and influence the amount of downforce being applied to rear wheels.

The 45th Anniversary Edition GR Supra will be available in either Mikan Blast [which means “orange” in Japanese and is pronounced as Mee-kahn] or Absolute Zero. On the outside, the special edition model also features matte-black finished 19-inch aluminum wheels and black painted, opposite mounted brake calipers that wear a GR logo up front. A black side panel graphic with a cutout Supra logo sweeps upward along the side, accentuating the vehicle’s contours. Altogether, the special edition brings a touch of nostalgia to the 2024 Supra lineup with a look reminiscent of the MkIV model of big screen fame.

Under the hood, the engine is flanked by exclusive 45th Anniversary Edition orange strut tower braces that bear the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing logo. It will be available with a six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission. The cabin features heated, black leather-trimmed sport seats, black leather-wrapped tilt/telescopic 3-spoke steering wheel, an 8.8-inch touchscreen, 12-speaker JBL® HiFi Surround system, and full-color Head-Up Display (HUD).

The 45th Anniversary Edition also comes with Full-Speed Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (AT models), Cruise Control (MT models), Blind Spot Monitor (BSM), Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Parking Sensors with Emergency Braking Function, standard.

Hands On with GR Supra Manual

In 2023, a welcome addition to Mk V Supra was the option of a Manual Transmission. Developed by TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Engineers in Japan in cooperation with Toyota Motor Europe, and German transmission supplier ZF, the MT is an option on the Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models.

The manual gearbox was built with components designed specifically to suit the power and torque characteristics of the GR Supra’s 3.0-liter 382-hp straight-six engine. The engineering team combined an existing transmission housing and gear set, developed a new shift lever, and removed elements that were not required, such as the acoustic package, which reduced weight, bringing the manual equipped Supra in at 3,389 pounds. At the heart of the transmission is a newly engineered large diameter clutch with a reinforced diaphragm spring. With a larger friction area and a stronger spring, this new component has the high-performance capability appropriate for use with the GR Supra’s high-torque engine.

Dior celebra en la Milla de Oro de Madrid la inauguración del pop up de su nuevo perfume L’or de J’adore

La pasada noche, la calle Serrano de Madrid se vistió de oro para la inauguración del impresionante pop up que Dior ha instalado con motivo de la presentación de su nuevo perfume L’Or de J’adore. Dior celebró en plena calle Serrano un acontecimiento que no quisieron perderse Clara Lago, Marina Salas, Megan Montaner, Manuela Velasco, Amaia Aberasturi, Ingrid García Jonsson, Pepe Barroso y Garia Arias, Ana Cristina Portillo, María G. de Jaime, Tomás Páramo o Laura Escanes, entre otros.

Este espacio efímero estará abierto al público del 29 de septiembre al 7 de octubre para todo aquel que quiera descubrir la nueva versión ultra floral del icónico perfume de la maison.

La esplanada de El Corte Inglés bajo la puesta del sol daba la bienvenida a los invitados, hasta que la noche se instaló como telón de fondo, convirtiéndose el dorado que primaba en todo el espacio en el protagonista de la velada. En ese momento comenzaba la actuación del DJ Lewis Ofman, encargado de dar el pistoletazo de salida a unos fuegos artificiales que nadie se esperaba. Durante dos minutos, el cielo de Madrid se iluminó, deslumbrando a los invitados. Mientras caía oro líquido, Ofman, que la Maison trajo especialmente de París, ponía a bailar a todos los asistentes.

Las actrices Clara Lago, Marina Salas, Megan Montaner, Manuela Velasco, Amaia Aberasturi, Ingrid García Jonsson y la influencer María G. de Jaime brillaron en esta noche especial luciendo el maquillaje que el equipo de Dior se encargó de crear para ellas en las instalaciones del Hotel Rosewood Villamagna.

Siguiendo su estética y códigos inconfundibles, este deslumbrante pop up ofrece diversas experiencias:

Su espectacular pared lateral decorada con flores gigantes en blanco y oro se convierte en un photocall espontáneo para los transeúntes que desean inmortalizar ese momento y compartirlo en redes.

Para quienes se animan a franquear la puerta, el viaje empieza por el descubrimiento de la fragancia L’Or de J’adore.

Tras este descubrimiento olfativo, un maquillador enseña los trucos del maquillaje radiante de la diosa Charlize Theron, imagen de la campaña y embajadora de J’adore desde 2004. Gracias a su bar de labiales Rouge Dior Forever, la fórmula no transfer de la icónica barra Rouge Dior, el experto ofrece también un servicio exprés de retoque de maquillaje de labios antes de pasar al photocall interior, parada obligatoria para llevarse un recuerdo entre flores gigantes en blanco y oro.

Otro de los servicios que se ofrecen consiste en personalizar una pulsera J’adore, bien con iniciales, con un nombre, un “charm” o una frase.

El viaje termina con la atracción principal de este espacio efímero: la obra de Refik Anadol, artista digital consagrado que ha transformado la magia floral de J’adore en una imagen tan sensorial, atractiva y adictiva como su firma olfativa. El resultado es un sueño de oro y flores hipnotizante que se reproduce sin fin sobre una pantalla de 6 metros de altura, visible a lo lejos desde la calle Serrano. Infinito, este oro fluido en movimiento es un guiño a las curvas del ánfora y expresa la quintaesencia de J’adore, llevando más allá los límites del arte visual. Metamorfoseado, el ramillete floral de J’adore se transmuta en una experiencia sensorial abstracta, única y poética.

Este pop up es el único espacio efímero de J’adore en el mundo.
