The Toyota GR Supra has quietly exited South Africa’s new-vehicle market after some 7 years, with global production having wrapped up. Yes, the A90-series coupé has just been removed from the Japanese brand’s local website, suggesting local stock has finally been depleted.
Developed alongside BMW’s G29-series Z4 roadster – with both models sporting a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration – the GR Supra was built by Magna Steyr in Austria. Production of both the Supra and the Z4 ceased at the Graz facility in March 2026.
As a reminder, the GR-badged Supra launched in South Africa in July 2019, with its 250 kW/500 Nm turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-6 petrol engine driving the rear wheels through a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission as standard.
However, in the 2nd quarter of 2023, an updated version of Toyota’s sportscar touched down in South Africa, sporting not only extra power (at 285 kW) from its BMW-sourced 6-cylinder heart but also the option of a 6-speed manual gearbox.
Shortly before its discontinuation from South Africa’s new-vehicle market, the Supra was priced at R1 524 800 for the manual-equipped derivative and R1 561 600 for the 2-pedal version. At launch in 2019, the base “Track” derivative was priced at R953 000 (with the top-spec example then costing R1 092 300).
The GR Supra served as a decidedly niche product for Toyota SA Motors (as the company’s product planners no doubt anticipated), with 11 units registered locally in 2023, 10 units in 2024, 11 units in 2025 and a further 5 units over the opening half of 2026.
