Toyota commemorates the production of 100 Supra GT4 race cars by designing a duo of distinctive editions. Among them is a street-legal variant, while the other is an exclusive track-oriented model.
The Supra RZ Plasma Orange 100th Version is obtainable in a restricted series of 100 examples and is solely accessible in Japan. The corporation is conducting a raffle there to determine the prospective buyers. Motor1.com is communicating with Toyota regarding the likelihood of availability in the US.
These exceptional automobiles are presented in the unique Plasma Orange hue. The rims flaunt a subdued black coating, and the brake calipers display a similar color.
Within the confines of the automobile, there is a fusion of dark leather and black Alcantara. Placed upon the dashboard adjacent to the seat designated for the rider is an emblem signifying the vehicle as the “Supra 100 Edition”. The singular transmission option for this car is an eight-speed automatic gearbox.
The cost of the 100 Edition in the striking color of Plasma Orange equates to $55,713 (7,600,000 yen if purchased in Japan). The premiere reveal of this model is scheduled to coincide with the Super GT racing event taking place at Fuji Speedway on the dates of May 3 and 4.
The Supra GT4 Centennial Version is the racing vehicle that also commemorates the manufacturing achievement. Toyota is constructing only three units. They exhibit a one-of-a-kind outer hue that resembles Plasma Orange significantly, yet the corporation refrains from identifying the tint in the declaration. Additionally, there are slight adjustments to the front body construction and a distinctive emblem with the prototype’s identification code. The car manufacturer has not unveiled the cost.
Toyota initiated the retail of the Supra GT4 in March of the year 2020. Ever since, the automobiles have attained 79 triumphs in their category, 20 in general, and have acquired 207 rankings on the platform in different series globally. In the United States, the vehicle is eligible to participate in races such as the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge, GT America Powered by AWS, and Pirelli GT4 America.
There persist rumors concerning Toyota constructing a spicier GRMN variation of the Supra. The most recent conjecture proposes that the engine potency might amplify to 543 horsepower by utilizing the S58 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine from BMW’s M division.
In the previous year, Toyota launched the Lightweight iteration of the Supra in Europe. It was solely obtainable with a six-speed manual, 19-inch wheels, and soft upholstery. The seats forgo the power regulation and lumbar reinforcement, resulting in a total weight reduction of 84.4 pounds for the automobile.
We are not sure if we could have these Special Edition Supras in the UAE. However, buyers can surely go for the 2023 Supra by dishing out AED 207,900.
