PLANO, Texas, July 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Today's the
day sports car enthusiasts have been waiting for. After more than
20 years of eager anticipation, fans can now purchase the
fifth-generation 2020 Toyota GR Supra at Toyota dealerships across
the country. The all-new Supra features an exhilarating blend of
power, precision, and agility. It pays homage to its predecessors
with its twin-scroll turbo charged in-line six, rear-wheel-drive
design, low center of gravity, and optimal weight balance.
The first 1,500 Supras will be Launch Edition models, which are
based on the 3.0 Premium grade. Each will be uniquely numbered and
have distinctive features signifying the exclusivity and excitement
of Supra's return.
The Supra Launch Edition is available in Absolute Zero White,
Nocturnal Black, or Renaissance Red 2.0, each featuring
high-contrast red mirror caps and 19-inch forged matte black alloy
wheels.
The Absolute Zero White and Nocturnal Black Supra Launch
Editions have a red interior. Each of the racing-inspired sport
seats have red leather trim, with red leather-wrapped steering
wheel grips, and a red center console with carbon-fiber
accents.
The Renaissance Red 2.0 Supra Launch Edition features a black
leather-trimmed interior, with black sport seats, a black steering
wheel and black center console with carbon-fiber accents.

carbon-fiber badge on the passenger-side dashboard, complete with a
graphic of Toyota Motor Corporation President and Master Driver
Akio Toyoda's signature. The Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price
(MSRP) for the Launch Edition Supra is $55,250.
Following the Launch Edition models, Supra will be available in
3.0 or 3.0 Premium versions. The two grades feature the same
335 hp 3.0-liter engine with 365 lb.-ft of torque. An eight-speed
automatic transmission with paddle shifters launches the Supra from
0-60 in 4.1 seconds. The Supra 3.0 has an MSRP of $49,990 while the MSRP of the Supra 3.0 Premium
is $53,990. Prices do not include a
delivery, processing and handling (DPH) fee of $930.
The 3.0 grade has a 6.5-inch display with Bluetooth and iPod
capability, as well as Alcantara seats. Navigation and JBL Audio
will be an available option.
The 3.0 Premium grade features an upgraded 8.8-inch, wide-format
touchscreen display with Navigation, Supra Connect telematics
services, and wireless Apple CarPlay compatibility. It also
includes a premium 12-speaker JBL audio system, Qi-wireless phone
charging, a color Head-Up Display and heated, leather-trimmed
seats.
Both grades are equipped with a deft balance of function and
premium comfort and convenience features. Keyless Smart Entry, dual
automatic climate control, auto-dimming rearview mirrors, rear
camera, rain sensing windshield wipers, garage door opener, power
folding mirrors, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel are
standard.
Standard safety features on both grades, as well as the Launch

lane departure warning with steering assist and automatic high
beams.
