Toyota Australia has expanded the GR Supra performance coupe line-up with the addition of a six-speed manual transmission, providing an extra level of driver enjoyment for performance enthusiasts.
The GR Supra range will now open from $87,000 plus on-road costs1 for the GT variant, with price parity regardless whether customers opt for the excitement of the manual or convenience of the automatic transmission.
The range-topping GTS will now ask $97,000 plus on-road costs.1
With carefully tailored gear ratios, the new six-speed manual transmission features a short-stroke shift lever for a direct and smooth feel.
Compared to the eight-speed automatic, the manual transmission is 18kg lighter, helping to improve driving dynamics.
A Gear Shift Assistant feature has been adopted for manual transmissions, synchronising engine speeds with the selected gear to allow for smooth shifts.
Customers also have the choice to disable Gear Shift Assistant when Sport mode is engaged.
Along with the introduction of the manual transmission, Toyota engineers have taken the opportunity to apply considered changes to improve steering feel and dynamics.
The GR Supra’s electronic power steering and vehicle stability control systems have been more finely tuned to enhance turning response during initial steering input, complemented by changes to the suspension bush characteristics that promote greater steering feel.
