2023 Supra manual price
|
For the first time in 20 years, the Toyota Supra will be available with a manual transmission in Australia – going on sale later this year for the same price as the automatic. Show
 The 2023 Toyota GR Supra is due to arrive in Australian showrooms before the end of the year, with the Japanese car giant confirming pricing for its updated sports car. As previously confirmed by Toyota, the 2023 GR Supra will return a six-speed manual gearbox to the Supra line for the first time in more than two decades, available as a no-cost option alongside the existing eight-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota GR Supra will be available to order in two variants: the entry-level GT, priced from $87,000 plus on-road costs, and the better-equipped GTS starting at $97,000 plus on-road costs. This represents a price increase of $506 across both variants compared to the 2022 Toyota GR Supra. According to Toyota, the new six-speed manual transmission is 18kg lighter than the automatic and is equipped with rev-matching software, which blips the throttle on downshifts for a smoother drive – although this can be disabled in the car's Sport mode. Toyota claims a refined electronic power steering and vehicle stability control tune deliver a sharper initial turn-in steering response across both GR Supra variants, complemented by new suspension bushes. Upgrades to the 2023 Toyota GR Supra GT over its predecessor include enlarged 345mm rear brake discs – previously exclusive to the GR Supra GTS – replacing the 2022 model's 330mm discs. Toyota GR Supra GTS variants are fitted with new-look 19-inch dark silver alloy wheels – featuring a similar design to the GR86 and GR Yaris – each of which shed 1.2kg compared to the old 19-inch wheels. Black leather remains as the Toyota GR Supra's standard interior upholstery, although the GR Supra GTS's previously-available red leather option has been replaced by tan leather. Alcantara continues to be offered as a $2500 option. The exterior colour palette now includes Copper Grey, Azure Blue and Matte White in addition to the existing choices of Monza Red, Bathurst Black, Fuji White, Silverstone Yellow and Nurburg Matte Grey (GTS only, like Matte White). Goodwood Grey and Suzuka Silver will no longer be available to order. Under the bonnet, the Toyota GR Supra's engine is unchanged, with the BMW-built 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six-cylinder unit continuing to produce 285kW at 6500rpm and 500Nm between 1800-5000rpm. Toyota's suite of safety systems will also carry across to the 2023 GR Supra, although manual variants are equipped with traditional cruise control, missing out on the radar-based adaptive cruise control fitted as standard to the automatic. A full list of features can be found at the bottom of this story. The 2023 Toyota GR Supra will arrive in Australian showrooms in the fourth quarter of 2022 (October to December). 2023 Toyota GR Supra Australian pricing

Fortunately, Toyota heeded the call to save the manuals, introducing a stick-shift Supra for 2023. It's as good as we'd hoped.
Can you get a 2022 Supra with a manual transmission?Since before the new Supra was officially revealed in January 2019, we've been asking Toyota what it would take for a manual transmission to become available. In April 2022, the automaker finally announced that our request, and that of enthusiasts everywhere, had been granted for 2023.
When can I buy a 2023 Supra?The 2023 GR Supra arrives at U.S. Toyota dealerships this September. The 2023 lineup includes the 4-cylinder, automatic-only GR Supra 2.0, the 6-cylinder GR Supra 3.0 Base and Premium trims available with manual or automatic transmission, and the limited-production, manual-only GR Supra 3.0 A91.
How many 2023 Supras will be made?The 2023 Supra A91-MT edition (pictured), which is limited to 500 units, will cost $59,440, a $2695 upcharge over the Premium. For that sum, you get a brown leather interior, an Alcantara shift knob, red brake calipers, red badging, red strut tower braces, and 19-inch wheels.
