The Tragic Fate of the Limited Edition Toyota GR Supra
Just a few months after the presentation of the limited edition 2026 Toyota GR Supra Final Edition, one of these cars was involved in a catastrophic accident in Texas. The car rolled over, resulting in its complete destruction. Although the model still starts, the condition of the body and engine makes its restoration practically impossible.
Accident Details and Damage
The IAAI auction listing records serious damage to the roof and right side of the car, as well as the deployment of airbags. Deep scratches stretch from the rear quarter panel across the fender and headlights, and the wheels on the right side are also damaged. The digital instrument panel is not functioning, so there is no way to know how many kilometers the car had driven before the accident.
Technical Specifications and Model Rarity
This version of the Supra is equipped with a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine from BMW, producing 382 horsepower and 499 Nm of torque, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. The car’s starting price was at least $68,650, making it more expensive compared to the base versions.
Possibility of Restoration
The left side of the car looks better than one might expect, so some parts may be suitable for use. However, the presence of “engine seizure” and the need to wait for documentation make buying this car risky.
Conclusions
This case is a reminder that even rare and valuable cars are not immune to accidents. Although a new Supra Final Edition can still be found at dealers, this particular specimen will most likely be dismantled for parts unless a brave enthusiast is found, willing to invest significant funds and time into its restoration. Similar stories often attract the attention of collectors and mechanics looking for unique projects, but in this case, the scale of the damage may prove too severe even for them.
