Hot 2025 Toyota GR Supra Track Edition inbound

The upcoming GRMN Supra will be known as the 2025 Toyota GR Supra Track Edition and has a decent chance of being offered in Australia.

Whether or not the new nameplate has anything to do with Toyota’s entry into the 2026 Supercars Championship remains to be seen, but the brand has nevertheless submitted it for trademarking with IP Australia.

Toyota Motor Corporation (Japan) is listed as the prospective owner of the nameplate while the application was submitted by Sydney-based law firm Clayton Utz.

The brand’s local division has a strict policy of not commenting on future product plans and, like most OEMs, said it regularly trademarks new nameplates in this market either for future use or intellectual security – there are currently 28 pending Toyota and Lexus applications.

Unsurprisingly, the Australian PR team kept its cards to its chest when contacted by carsales, however sources tell us an announcement on the GR Supra Track Edition will be made in the near future, and fittingly so since masked prototypes have been spotted testing at the Nürburgring for more than a year now.

The most recent sighting came in March when the Cayman GT4-rivalling coupe was spotted lapping the Green Hell wearing a new (read bigger) rear wing and ventilated bonnet, upping the ante compared to last year’s fit-out.

Common between the two prototypes however was a hunkered down chassis, big brake kit, lightweight wheels and carbon aero features (splitter, diffuser, skirts) all-round.

There’s been a fair bit of conjecture about what will power the Track Edition, and while all the rumours and theories settle on BMW’s M-spec ‘S58’ twin-turbo straight six, it’s unclear which version.

Originally it was thought the M4 CSL would donate its monstrous 405kW/650Nm heart, but more recent claims have thrown the latest M2’s 338kW/550Nm powerplant into the mix – something we feel to be the more likely option since the standard GR Supra throws down 285kW/500Nm.

A 53kW/50Nm output bump would provide quite the performance increase by itself, let alone in tandem with a sharpened chassis, more aggressive aero, stickier tyres and a tangible weight reduction.

We also suspect BMW wouldn’t be too keen on the Supra threatening the position and capabilities of its top-flight M4 variants, irrespective of its strategic partnership with Toyota.

Expect the 2025 Toyota GR Supra Track Edition to launch Down Under sometime next year as the outright flagship of the local GR portfolio and potentially the limited-run swan song of the current-generation Supra.
