This is the 2025 Toyota Supra. It’s loud, it’s angry, it’s rear-wheel drive—and yes, it’s technically German. But here’s the thing, it might just be the most fun Toyota ever made.” But the 2025 Supra doesn’t care what you think. It’s too busy being brilliant, so today I’m driving it to see how good it is.
The 2025 Supra is not the last one; the final model of this generation is the 2026 GR Supra Final Edition, with production ending in spring 2026. Toyota plans to release a sixth generation Supra later, possibly as soon as 2027, developed entirely in-house.
Exterior
From certain angles, the Supra looks like it was designed by a committee that never met in person. A lot is going on: vents that lead nowhere, bulges that could be muscle or swelling, and a rear end that looks like it’s permanently puckered in anticipation of what’s about to happen. But look past the chaos and you’ll see something almost beautiful. It’s the kind of car that looks fast even when it’s parked outside a coffee shop, taunting hatchbacks with its wide haunches and smirking headlights.
Under the Hood
Yes, under that long, bulging bonnet sits a 3.0-liter straight-six with 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft. of torque. No, Toyota didn’t build it. BMW did. But before you get all misty-eyed for the 2JZ, let’s be real: this engine is magnificent. It’s smoother than jazz, more flexible than a yoga instructor, and when it opens up, it makes a noise that can only be described as “civilized thunder”.
This car carries over to 2025 effectively unchanged; however, it does drop the previous four-cylinder engine from the lineup but both auto and manual transmissions are available.
Wheels and tires
Rear wheel Drive and ample power always require a good set of tires, so Toyota equips the Supra with 275/35 ZR-19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports at the rear and 255/35 ZR-19 tires at the front. Brakes are 4-piston at the front with 3.7-in vented discs and 3.6-in vented discs at the rear.
Driving
On the road, the Supra feels like it’s on a mission to embarrass cars twice its price. The chassis is razor sharp, it turns in like a terrier spotting a postman — yet it’s surprisingly composed on normal roads. The suspension, now tuned specifically by Toyota’s “Gazoo Racing” department (which sounds like a Mario Kart level), strikes a rare balance: firm enough for track work, yet just supple enough to stop your spine from filing for divorce.
The steering is precise, alive, and heavy enough to remind you that you’re driving something serious. Flick it into a corner, and the rear politely suggests it might like to join the front, but never in a way that’ll send you spinning into a YouTube fail compilation. It’s playful, controllable, and absurdly fun — everything a proper sports car should be.
The steering is heavy and meaty, the chassis tight and perfectly balanced. It’s rear-wheel-drive, so of course it’s always a bit twitchy, a bit mischievous the sort of car that waits until mid-corner to remind you who’s in charge.
Despite its soft steering, this car is incredibly responsive, allowing the front end to swiftly move left or right with even the tiniest touch. It’s almost too fast, and with most of its weight positioned near the front axle, the back end can swing around unexpectedly. It feels like the front and rear are from entirely different vehicles, requiring some serious adjustments to balance out.
Inside
Inside, you get BMW’s excellent tech, which is both a blessing and an admission. Everything works properly, the screens are crisp, and the ergonomics are German-level sensible. But then you spot Toyota’s logo on the steering wheel and remember this isn’t Bavaria. The seating position is spot-on, hugging you low in the cockpit while giving you just enough view of the curvy bonnet to make you feel like you’re sitting behind a coiled animal.
It’s not luxurious, but it doesn’t need to be. The Supra’s cabin is a focused place, less “Grand Tourer” and more “Let’s go terrorize a mountain road before breakfast.”
Cargo Space
Don’t forget it’s a 2-seater, so both cargo and passenger room are quite limited. In the trunk, you get a hatch and about 10.2 cubes of space with a poke through to the cabin for longer items for that run to Home Depot. The rear parcel shelf is removable, just slightly tricky to remove, and then you have space for a medium-sized dog.
Price
Offered in both 3.0 and 3.0 Premium trims, the Toyota GR Supra has a short list of optional extras. This Premium trim model starts at $57,385, including a $1,135 destination fee, while the top-of-the-range trim is $60,535. For that small premium, power-adjustable seats trimmed in either black or, like my tester, hazelnut-colored leather. This Absolute Zero-finished example adds a Driver Assistance Package for $1,195 and a Carpet Cargo Mat for $110, bringing its as-tested price up to that aforementioned $61,840 number.
How does it compare to the Ford Mustang GT?
The Supra is the well-trained ninja in a business suit; the Mustang is a burly lumberjack in a leather vest roaring down the forest with a chainsaw.”

Verdict
Let’s just say it: Toyota and BMW’s weird little collaboration has worked. The 2025 Supra is brilliant fun. It’s not perfect, it’s too expensive, the visibility out the back is like looking through a letterbox, and the trunk is about the size of a lunchbox , but you won’t care. If I had to choose between the Supra and the Mustang, I’d probably get the Supra.
