Say hello to the Toyota GR Supra 35th Anniversary Edition model

KUALA LUMPUR: The iconic Toyota Supra has completed thirty-five years of its existence and to mark this occasion, the Japanese automaker unveiled a special-edition version, called the GR Supra 35th Anniversary Edition. Based on the Supra RZ and SZ-R variants, the celebratory models will be exclusively available in Japan with a limited production run of 70 units (35 each). What differentiates the limited-edition Supra from the standard version? Let’s know.

The 2021 Toyota Supra 35th Anniversary Special Edition only gets cosmetic tweaks and no mechanical upgrades. This means the special RZ gets power from the same 3.0-litre turbocharged straight-six engine that churns out a maximum power output of 387 PS and a peak torque of 500 Nm. A 2.0-litre turbo four-popper unit with 258 PS and 400 Nm is on offer with the limited edition SZ-R. Both engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels of the sports car.

When it comes to the styling tweaks, we can see different wheels on the sides, which are 19-inch forged aluminum rims in matte black finish. Inside, both special edition models get a “35th Anniversary” badge and the carbon-fiber trimmed dashboard. Further, the SZ-R 35th Anniversary Edition model also benefits from the black door mirrors, leather seats, red brake calipers, and sports brakes along with a sports brake pedal. 

The available color options include Lightning Yellow, White Metallic, Prominence Red, Ice Gray Metallic, and Black Metallic.

In Japan, the price for the Supra SZ-R 35th Anniversary model starts at ¥6,535,000 (RM 250,011) and the RZ 35th Anniversary Edition retails for ¥7,835,000 (RM 299,777). To get these special models, one needs to fill an online application between August 6 and 31 as the automaker will allot the limited units via the lottery system.
