Toyota Is Launching TRD Tuning Parts For The New GR Supra
Toyota is about to release a whole spectrum of TRD tuning parts for the new A90 GR Supra.
The company will next week showcase the, err, snappily-named GR Supra Performance Line Concept TRD at a motor show in the Japanese city of Osaka. The car, we’ve learned, will be a rolling catalogue of parts that should become available to buy shortly after the Supra itself hits showrooms.
There are no advance details about the 9 February reveal other than that it’s a TRD-centric launch centred around the Supra. There’s a huge market for tuning parts not just in Japan, but around the world, and it seems like Toyota wants to put its own parts out there first.
A single white-on-black line drawing of an A90 Supra joined the short release. From it we can infer that the car is about to grow a sizeable wing at the back. The drawing gives the impression of super-low ride height, too.
It would seem logical to expect not just aerodynamic body extras but whole new panels, including a front splitter and a vented bonnet for greater cooling.
A second line drawing was sent out with the scant details. Outlining the classic Supra 3000GT racer, it draws a clear link with both TRD’s history with the Supra and race-spec upgrades. We’ll know more next week.

Well at least they are making the car more… Toyota
Toyota must have created a Hype and Teaser department just to drum up buzz…
I wonder what would have happened if they took the ‘element of surprise’ approach and with no warning just unleashed the new car and offered it for sale immediately upon release?
Just one day as we were all hoping and waiting for the yet to be announced new Supra, wondering and debating if it will ever even happen and…. BAM! HERE YA GO KID, SUPRA IN YOUR FACE!
yeah that would be a more fun way to release a car imo. None of this teasing nonsense
It would probably get “leaked” half way through
If I were you I would avoid a career in marketing!
There’s no point suprise releasing a car that’s been seen testing for several years 😂😂
Complete 2JZ swap kit incoming…
More like a £3000 carbonfibre wing, £2000 carbonfibre splitter, £1000 alcantara steering wheel and a 22 inch set of wheels…
Unfortunately this is what “performance parts” and “tuning parts” mean to manufacturers these days
Finally! I’ve been waiting so long!
Oh thank god theres a wing
Seriously can’t wait to see what TRD got for the new Supra
Does anyone else think the last picture is a mark 3 supra
They said in the article it is
Genuinely excited for this
“Ho yes, I can’t wait! Cool, 2jz swap”… blablabla.
No one of you got a new supra or just drive a 2jz in their life.
Trd LZR anyone?
