Manhart has unveiled a modified version of the Toyota GR Supra, showcasing enhancements in performance, handling, and aerodynamics. The German tuning company, known for its expertise in BMW M models, has applied this knowledge to the GR Supra, which shares its platform with the BMW Z4. This collaboration has resulted in a strikingly upgraded sports car that combines the best of both worlds.
The GR Supra now features an aggressive carbon fiber body kit, which gives it the appearance of a high-performance model akin to the rumored GRMN flagship, should Toyota decide to produce it. The centerpiece of this body kit is a bold and "devilish" rear wing, complemented by a new diffuser, a front splitter, and side skirts with integrated fins that enhance the car's aerodynamic profile. Manhart has also added carbon fiber mirror caps and taillight covers, with the option for a set of black and red decals to further personalize the exterior. The car is fitted with a new set of 20-inch Concave One alloy wheels, which are paired with spacers to provide a wider stance, giving the Supra a more aggressive look on the road. Additionally, the vehicle has been lowered, an upgrade achieved either through H&R springs or a KW coilover suspension system, both of which contribute to improved handling and a more planted driving experience. While Manhart has left the interior untouched, they offer customization options for owners seeking a more personalized cabin.
Manhart’s experience in tuning the GR Supra is well-established, with their first modifications for the model dating back to 2020. Their latest iteration is equipped with the GR 550 tuning kit, which significantly enhances the car’s performance. This kit upgrades the turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six engine to produce an impressive 542 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque. The power increase is achieved through several key modifications, including the installation of a new turbocharger, a carbon fiber intake system by ARMAspeed, a radiator kit, an MHtronic module, and a stainless steel exhaust system by FI Exhaust, which can be further enhanced with optional downpipes for added performance.
The GR 550 performance kit alone is priced at $13,400, offering a considerable boost in the Supra's power and driving dynamics. For those who want the complete transformation, the sports exhaust system adds an additional $5,639, while the downpipes cost $2,385. The carbon fiber body kit, which significantly alters the car's appearance, comes at an extra cost of $15,080, although individual components can be purchased separately through Manhart’s online store. The custom alloy wheels can reach up to $3,429, depending on the specific set chosen, and the premium KW Clubsport coilover suspension kit is priced at $3,462.
Manhart’s modified Toyota GR Supra offers a comprehensive package of performance, handling, and styling upgrades. While the cost of these modifications is high, they transform the Supra into a more powerful and visually striking sports car, appealing to enthusiasts looking for a unique and enhanced driving experience.
