Toyota is giving the fifth-generation Supra, the A90, a proper send-off with the announcement of the Supra A90 Final Edition. Packed with more power, sharper handling, and serious track-ready upgrades, it’s the ultimate expression of what this generation of the Supra can be. The catch? It’s not coming to the United States. Cue the collective groans from American enthusiasts.

Here’s everything you’ll miss—and a glimmer of what might still trickle down to future Supras.

What’s Under the Hood?

Toyota pulled out all the stops for the A90 Final Edition, turning up the heat with a power boost for the 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-6. The engine now produces 429 horsepower, a significant leap from the standard 382 hp. This extra grunt is achieved through revamped intake and exhaust systems, including an Akrapovič titanium muffler, along with beefed-up cooling systems. All of this is mated to the Supra’s enthusiast-approved 6-speed manual transmission, driving power to the rear wheels.

To keep that extra power in check, Toyota added larger Brembo brakes with cross-drilled rotors and stainless-steel hoses, as well as performance pads. An adjustable KW suspension system borrowed from the track-focused Supra GT4 race car ensures the car can handle corners like it’s glued to the road. A strengthened front-cowl brace, revised wheel camber angles, and additional underbody bracing round out the chassis upgrades.

Visually, the A90 Final Edition screams performance. It features a carbon-fiber front splitter, dive planes, a swan-neck rear wing, and a functional carbon-fiber hood with a removable duct for cooling during track days. Wider Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires on lightweight alloy wheels (19 inches in front, 20 inches in the rear) add grip, while aggressive aerodynamics enhance its track capabilities.

Toyota made sure this car looks as fast as it drives, and boy, does it deliver.

Inside, the A90 Final Edition feels like a cockpit made for the racetrack. Recaro Podium carbon-fiber bucket seats wrapped in red Alcantara set the tone, and matching red seatbelts add a splash of drama. The center console and door panels also get Alcantara accents, paired with carbon-fiber trim for a truly premium racing vibe.

The American Snub

Here’s the kicker: only 300 units of the A90 Final Edition will be built, and none of them are coming to the U.S. Toyota has not listed the American market among its confirmed regions for sales, which feels like salt in the wound for Supra fans stateside. After all, the Supra has a cult following here, fueled by decades of tuning and Fast & Furious-inspired dreams.

Adding insult to injury, many of the features exclusive to the A90 Final Edition—like the aggressive aerodynamic package and carbon-fiber seats—won’t be available on U.S.-bound Supras anytime soon.

While Americans won’t get the full-fat A90 Final Edition, Toyota has hinted that some of its performance upgrades will trickle down to the standard Supra with the 3.0-liter engine, possibly for the 2026 model year. These include the improved horsepower, reinforced chassis, and upgraded brakes. It’s not a total loss, but it’s certainly not the same as getting the all-out track monster.

Goodbye Supra A90, Hello… What’s Next?

As the fifth-generation Supra nears the end of its production run, Toyota remains tight-lipped about what comes next. The Supra’s co-development with BMW has always been a point of contention among purists, but it undeniably gave the car a second life after a 17-year hiatus. Now, with production of both the Supra and its platform-mate, the BMW Z4, ending next year, Toyota faces a pivotal moment in the Supra’s legacy.

Rumors of a successor are swirling, but will Toyota go it alone this time, or will we see another collaboration? Whatever the case, enthusiasts are crossing their fingers that the wait won’t stretch another two decades.

The Toyota Supra A90 Final Edition is a fitting celebration of a car that brought an icon back to life. With its power boost, motorsport-inspired chassis upgrades, and striking design, it’s the Supra we always wanted—but one we’ll never have on U.S. soil.

For those lucky enough to snag one in markets where it will be sold, enjoy it for the rest of us. As for the rest of us? We’ll wait—and hope—that Toyota’s next Supra finally brings the goods to everyone, everywhere.
