After just over two full decades, the Toyota Supra is finally going back on sale with a manual transmission. Before that happens, though, the Japanese brand is giving us a chance to test out the car on the track at Utah Motorsports Complex. With that in mind, what do you want to know about the first manual Supra since 2002?
Toyota says that since it relaunched the Supra just a few years ago that fans have been clamoring for a true three-pedal car. It also tells us that since that time it’s been eager to fulfill that wish and that it’s excited to present the 2023 GR Supra manual to its customers.
While there’s quite a bit of new info on the car that we can’t share until the embargo lifts on September 7th, we can tell you that we’re testing it both on and off of the track. This just so happens to be the same event where we’re actively testing the new GR Corolla hot hatch too.

We know that the Supra in its current MKV form hasn’t changed all too much since its launch so this new way to drive it might mark the most significant development since 2019. We also know that the manual version will be a no-cost option and start at $53,595. If that pricing sounds high keep in mind that the Supra 2.0 will continue as an automatic-only trim level with the manual offered only on the straight-six turbo version.
On the flip side of that coin, a brand-new A91-MT special edition is coming and it’s only available with a manual transmission as that name might imply. It starts at $59,440 and comes with a special brown leather interior, an Alcantara shift knob, a lot of red trim, red strut tower braces, and special 19-inch wheels.
Those who just want the Premium trim model can get it with the manual as well, again, as a no-cost option on the $56,745 base price. With all of that said, we’re here to answer all your questions on this new enthusiast-focused gearbox. So what do you want to know about the Supra manual?
I completely agree with your points. Well said!
