The good news is that there should be a lot of after market software that can get taken from the GRMN model, the e LSD programming, engine tune should all be able to be reverse engineered. I can imagine it will be like the GTS tunes on BMWs.
Quick correction but apparently North America will get their own version of the Final Edition according to Car and Driver. "UPDATE 12/3/24, 4:00 p.m.: This story has been updated with a response from a Toyota North America spokesperson. They told Car and Driver that a version of the Supra A90 Final Edition will be coming to the U.S. market, however, official details about that car will be shared at a later date."
As much as I hated the fact Toyota used a BMW power train for this car, I can't deny that the B58 seems to stand the test of time in terms of its reliance and these cars are probably going to go up in value if the Supra is discontinued again.
It definitely ended up being a net positive because when it first dropped a lot of people were not feeling any of it. It took me a couple years for the look to grow on me and the b58 has definitely started off better than the 2jz in many ways. Holding my breath for the hate comments lol
Hey this is a little off topic but how is the spool time on that daw UFX. Is it slower thank stock? I was stuck between that and the flowmax v2.5 since that one is supposed to spool really fast. I’m di only with a upgraded pump so I’ve heard you can’t really make that much more power of the UFx
I don't understand why they are retiring the A90 already. The styling is still current, the car is in demand, the car is extremely competitive (kicking ass for the price bracket).....so why retire it already? The previous generation Supra was sold from 1993 to 2002, a total generation run of 9 years. This doesn't make sense to me, unless this has something to do with changes BMW are doing??
Check the stats again. The car is not in demand (sales drop every year) along with the BMW model cycle is typically 7 years so the Z4 will be ending soon too. It sucks but that's just how the market is.
Here is my opinion on the why they are retiring besides the BMW Z4 market. The car community was not fair with this car, the BMW hate and the shadow of the MK4 clouded all the good things this car achieved. Most influencers did zero justice to it as well to favor the psycho cult of the MK4 and toyota purist for views and likes. There is a certain you tuber who bought a crashed A90, rebuilt it and decided to part ways due to the peoples hate, another youtuber traded his GTR for a MK5 and almost got cancelled by the Toyota purists. No justice at all!!! Then on top of that all the misinformation with the car being a clone of the Z4 which it really isn't! There are chassis blueprints on the MK5 community who shows all the differences, spot welds and body structures of both chassis, only sharing the powertrain, wheelbase, suspension components on both cars have different specs, the supra having different dampening and springrates compared to the Z4 and GR software tuning.
Achievements never mentioned by the community about the A90: 7s 1/4 mile on a pretty much stock chassis soon to touch 6s PHD Racing T90 and Kyle A90 breaking records on GTA and SLB The Screen D2 A90 Supra in Japan doing 57s on Attach challenge Tsukuba with barely bolt ons and tune, this is an insanely crazy time considering Nobuemon (ESPIRIT MK4) with a modded/cut chassis is doing 55s!! on a car that has been in development for 15+years More podium finishes than the MK4 ever dreamed on due to how good the chassis is no matter what engine you put in it! GT500(R14A engine) GT300(2UR) There is a lot more that can be said regarding how reliable this car is, how easy to work on it is but time is showing, this car will become the next 350z that devalue 80% of its value in less than 10 years and exploited by most kids in the US. At this point Im considering selling my A90 and GR Corolla to get a R35 GTR to safe my investment.
@@tempeztadA90 will probably get more respect when its out of production like the MKIV did. No one gave a damn about the MKIV until The Fast and the Furious came out and it was in its last year of production when that movie came released.
Toyota has not confirmed 2025 is last year model because 2025 is out now! Maybe end of 2025 as 2026 model? The contract ends in 2026 for Supra so maybe 2027 model last year?
I heard in another video, the brakes were gonna be brembo. Don't know why when the could just use the m3/4 front brakes. Probably fake news about the brembos.
its not that sports cars are doing well... these car dealers just got way too greedy! every car costs way more than its worth. even a civic hatch back in canada is like 37k.... before tax and interest like thats a rip off.
Linda expensive . It would cheaper if you tuned it yourself. Disappointed they didn’t upgrade the engine to support massive power so it could be reliable. But then it’s not available in America so who cares😂
They gonna give us the middle finger and have the GR MN name on jdm only lol. I read that these finals are actually JDM only and Europe? I hope Google AI is wrong. Ok I guess i was right, that sucks and I doubt its emissions cuz Europe is worse than the US. This is still payback from the nukes from WW2 lol.
This is a sad day but I think Toyota will be coming out with a good replacement and it seems like the EV dream world is dead in their minds for a lot of their cars. I didn't want to be that guy but I predicted the EV forced revolution would be more like the late 70s early 80s gas crisis dark days that has hurt the car companies more than the consumers so far.
@fredrickdavenport1611 I was deciding between FK8 or something else, including the Supra. It didn't make the cut because it was only offered in ZF8 back then.

Ah yes the GeRMaN Supra 🤣
The amount of time it took me to unlearn this 😭
Toyta said early on the supra would be produced for 5 years and they couldnt change their mind unless they reached a new agreement with BMW
The a90 final edition looks so badass!
Will be interesting to see if anyone's able to extract the new ECU and diff tunes. Known factory verified tunes.

I've already done most of that to my current supra. I do want those recaros & brakes though
Curious how turbo lag / response will be affected by a downpipe with high-flow cat and higher boost?
100k supra whoohoo

EOP for the G29 is 3/26 (which was a slight extension) so I wonder if they’ll continue making the 2025 MY Supra through that date. We shall see…
Thats supposedly when production will end
Even the partial upgrade of the Supra has significant upgrades. It’s worth trading in my 21 for the FE. 😂
Is it the new Gen 3 B58 or still Gen 2?
Still gen 2

I don't think it can be easily fix because it's inherited from the design.

Finally they will call it GERMN. 😂😂

Ending production has nothing to do with the sales. They have no choice as I believe BMW is shutting down the Z4 line.
