2024 Toyota GR Supra at Stampede Toyota in Calgary, Alberta
Originally produced in 1978, the Toyota Supra was a hit overseas, while it went on to have a somewhat unspectacular North American career as a grand tourer—that is, until a little movie called The Fast and the Furious made it one of most important vehicles in the film. That movie came out in 2001, and Toyota ceased producing the Supra in Japan in 2002—almost 6 years after the last Supra was sold on Canadian soil. Well, after years of whispers and concept cars, the fifth generation Toyota GR (Gazoo Racing) Supra relaunched for the 2020 model year, bringing this iconic sports car back to life. The 2024 Toyota GR Supra is even more impressive, having been fine-tuned into one of the most impressive vehicles on the market today. Read on and learn more about the 2024 GR Supra, with Calgary’s very own Stampede Toyota.
Design
Exterior Design
With a long, low hood and sleek, sculpted lines, the 2024 Toyota GR Supra is a piece of aerodynamic art, with no detail overlooked when it comes to providing a thrilling driving experience. At once new and yet so familiar, the 2024 Supra channels the in-line headlights of prior generations as well as the double-bubble roof of the Toyota 2000 GT, all while leaving its own mark. Of course, advanced engineering has gone into every aspect of the GR Supra’s look—and is tied to its performance—with a wide grille and large air intakes helping cool this Toyota sports car’s incredibly powerful turbocharged engines. Now available with the long awaited six-speed manual transmission, GR Supra is more desirable than ever. The incredibly limited GR Supra A91-CF Edition adds a carbon fiber body kit and rear spoiler, along with matte black 19-inch wheels, to this already sporty Gazoo Racing-branded ride.
Interior Design
Inside, a racing-inspired cockpit offers heated and leather-wrapped front seats, with deep side bolsters and integrated headrests to keep you locked into position as you get pulled into every high-speed turn. An asymmetrical centre console helps cement the feel of being in a single seat race car, with a digital display featuring a 3-dimensional tachometer to keep you apprised of every important performance aspect—all while customizable displays on either side help you keep every other aspect of your drive managed.

| Length (mm/in) | 4381 / 172.5 |

Performance
Smooth Handling
Of course, design also plays a role in the 2024 Toyota GR Supra’s performance, with an almost perfect weight balance giving the Supra peerless handling. Not only is the weight balanced, but it’s weighted in all the areas that make it such an impressive performer on all roads—with a low engine and transmission giving it the lowest centre of gravity possible.
Powerful Engine
That means both of the Supra’s turbocharged engine options—the 255 horsepower, 16-valve 4-cylinder 2.0-litre, or the 24-valve, 6-cylinder 3.0-litre capable of producing an astounding 382 horsepower and 369 lb.-ft of torque—are capable of tearing up the tarmac on straightaways and curved roads alike. Both engines are also paired to an advanced 8-speed automatic transmission, with wheel-mounted paddle shifters helping to provide a more intimate trip when the mood strikes you. A six speed manual is also available with the 3.0L for ultimate engagement in your drive.
Technologically Advanced
A host of high performance features give the 2024 Toyota GR Supra serious skills on the road. Both engines offer the option of Toyota’s Launch Control function, which helps rocket the 3.0-litre-equipped GR Supra forward from 0 to 96 km/h in just 3.9 seconds. Combined with a 250 km/h top speed, and it’s no wonder the GR Supra 3.0 is one of the most impressive vehicles on the road today. Sport Mode only adds to the excitement, with sharpened throttle response, more refined shifts, stiffer differential, and even a louder exhaust note. An electronically controlled rear active differential system provides exceptional stability, while intelligently adjusting torque between the two rear wheels, while an adaptive variable suspension system scans the road thousands of times a second and adjusts each individual shock to provide a stiffer or softer ride depending on your needs. Add in the 4-piston Brembo® brake calipers found on the GR Supra 3.0, including 13.7-inch front rotors, and you’ll have no shortage of stopping power at your disposal.

Safety & Technology
The engineers of the 2024 Toyota GR Supra didn’t just stop at producing one of the most powerful and fun to drive vehicles out, they also added a host of smart technology and safety features to make the Supra an incredibly well-rounded sports car. It all starts with Toyota Supra Connect, an 8.8-inch infotainment system giving you access to smart, hands-free multimedia (including Apple CarPlay™) as well as in-vehicle concierge assistance, stolen vehicle recovery, embedded navigation, and more.
The safety features of the 2024 Toyota GR Supra are just a bit more advanced than the Brembo® brake pads found on its four wheels, with next-level tech like Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, Road Sign Assist, and more. The 8.8-inch infotainment system’s screen plays host to your backup camera, while Blind Spot Monitoring with Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Parking Sonar with Rear Collision Warning help you navigate even the tightest parking spots, to escape parking lots unscathed.
Toyota GR Supra Model Changes from 2022
Since its inception in 2020, the 5th generation Supra has been a worthy car to wear this badge. 2024 is perhaps the most exciting model change to come since this car was first released, this due to the new available manual shift transmission. To live on its legacy as a driver’s car, Toyota saw it fit to install a six-speed manual to please the enthusiast in all of us. Also new for 2024 is the GR Supra 3.0L A91-MT Edition which comes with a tan leather interior, a serialization plaque, and red Supra badging among other exclusive features. Three new colors are also available on the 2024 Supra, these being Sparkling Copper Grey, Matte White, and Portimao Blue. Supra is a stronger car than ever before and Stampede Toyota has a team of experts ready to show you all it’s about.
