Toyota has launched a limited-edition of the GR Supra’s race-modified iteration to celebrate its 100-unit production milestone.
Dubbed the GR Supra GT4 100 Edition, the Japanese automotive titan said that it will only produce three examples of the Supra-based, race-modified vehicle’s commemorative version.
In a statement, the company said that the Toyota GR Supra GT4 100 Edition, features an exclusive exterior color, unique front bodywork, and a badge with a serial number.
The cumulative production achievement of the GR Supra GT4, Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) noted, was reached in approximately three years since its sales launch in March 2020 — starting in Europe and expanded to North America in August, then to Japan and other parts of Asia in October that year.
Per TGR, the race-bred GR Supra “was born out of a desire to give customers wanting to participate in customer motorsports an exciting, efficient and easy way to enjoy racing, as well as to accelerate the making of ever-better cars through the challenge of and feedback from motorsports.”
Further, TGR shared that since the GR Supra GT4’s debut, engineers have traveled to race tracks around the world to provide customer support, receiving valuable feedback directly from racing teams and drivers that can only be obtained under the extreme conditions of racing.
“The GR Supra GT4 has been followed by the GR Supra GT4 Evo launched in 2022, allowing the gaining of further knowledge from the front lines of racing, as TGR continues to promote making ever-better motorsports-bred cars. TGR will heighten its customer motorsports efforts, aiming to bring many smiles and much joy as well as excitement and thrills to its customers through motorsports and sports car manufacturing.
In addition, the company stated that out of the cumulative 625 entries in 317 races worldwide as of the end of 2022, the vehicle showcased its strong potential by recording 79 class victories, 20 overall wins, and 207 podium finishes in GT4 championships in various countries, as well as the Super Taikyu Series in Japan.
“All along, advice from customers has led to improvements in both the car and components. Continuing its engagement in motorsports in 2023, 27 units of the GR Supra GT4 are scheduled to compete in various races in Europe, accompanied by 20 units in North America and 12 in Asia, including Japan,” Toyota’s sub-brand shared.
