When it reintroduced the Supra in 2019 for the 2020 model year after a 17-year absence, Toyota installed an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The fifth-generation Supra is one of three cars under Toyota’s Gazoo Racing brand. The GR 86 and GR Corolla also offer manual transmissions, as the automaker seeks to fill a gap left by other brands that have pursued profit-rich light trucks craved by a large majority of U.S. consumers.
The GR Supra is the No. 3 seller in the low-volume compact sporty car segment, behind the Toyota GR 86/FR-S and Mazda MX-5 Miata. In the first quarter, U.S. sales tallied 1,107, down 36 percent as the industry contends with supply chain challenges.
Pricing for the 2023 Supra will be announced this summer, and the car is due to arrive at dealerships later this year.
