The thrilling GR Supra has been a major success for Toyota ever since it revived the Supra nameplate for the 2020 model year. Now, the fifth-generation Supra is evolving once again for 2023, adding new equipment sure to be appreciated by enthusiasts who prefer to row their own gears—an available six-speed intelligent Manual Transmission.
The GR Supra already delivers a superb mix of power, engagement, and style, especially when equipped with the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder (382 hp, 368 lb-ft). The addition of a manual transmission option on 3.0 models offers a new level of engagement for drivers seeking a more hands-on experience.
"When we revealed the GR Supra back in 2019, we tapped into a heritage nameplate for Toyota, said Mike Tripp, vice president of Toyota Vehicle Marketing and Communications. "But we were regularly asked if there would be a manual version. We immediately took that feedback to heart and started developing it, and we're happy that we can now bring customers the perfect complement for Supra's high-torque, high output engine with a six-speed manual."
Developed by Toyota's GAZOO Racing team, the new manual transmission was purpose-built to suit the enhanced power and torque of the higher-output powerplant. A notable component of the transmission is a newly engineered large-diameter clutch with a reinforced diaphragm spring. Manual Supras also include Intelligent Manual Transmission software that optimizes engine torque upon clutch engagement and release and rev matches on downshifts for consistent performance. The manual transmission is an available option on Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models.
