by The end of the Toyota GR Supra era
The year 2026 will be the last for the 382-horsepower Toyota GR Supra, which has been in production for six years. Although company officials have already hinted at the model’s return, the exact timing and details remain unknown. There is a possibility that the gap between the fifth and sixth generations will be significantly shorter than before.
The future of the iconic sports car
The last few years have been challenging for sports cars: many legendary models have either disappeared from the market or undergone radical changes. For example, the Dodge Charger is now electric, and the Nissan GT-R and Toyota Supra find themselves in a similar state of uncertainty.
“It’s logical to assume that we will introduce a new generation of the Supra. But when and in what form—that’s still a question,” said Cooper Ericksen, Toyota’s senior vice president of strategy.
The previous pause between the fourth and fifth generations of the Supra lasted a whole 17 years, which is an eternity in the automotive industry. Now the company aims to shorten this gap, but exact dates are still unknown. One of the reasons may be new environmental regulations, political restrictions, and the growing popularity of electric vehicles.
Supra sales in the U.S. last year amounted to only 2,615 units, which may have also influenced the company’s decision. Despite this, Toyota continues to seek ways to develop the model, adapting it to modern challenges.
For now, fans can only wait for updates and hope that the next Supra will retain its legendary character. The automotive world is changing, and even icons like the Supra must adapt to new realities.
