I assumed it may be an error since everyone is saying the manuals won’t be receiving this option.
The whole site seems to be riddled with mistakes. The wheels are wrong too, for example. Either the press releases have been erroneous or the Canadian site went up a little too quickly without any error checking. Time will tell I guess.

Order that manual. Ordrer!
The 2023 Toyota Supra Finally Gets a Manual and 75% of Buyers Won’t Pick It
Toyota is expecting only 1 in 4 Supra buyers to opt for three pedals. Time to prove them wrong, folks.


While the idea that only one in four GR Supra buyers would spring for the manual surprised even The Drive's staff—one of whom optimistically guessed that 80% of GR Supra buyers would spring for three pedals now that it's offered—Toyota isn't pulling this expectation out of anywhere. Hogard told The Drive that the GR86 only has a manual transmission take rate of about 35%, and that's one of the best manual sports cars you can buy right now.

If those stats hurt to read, there's only one way to fix it: go buy new cars with manual transmissions. The only way companies can justify offering manuals in the first place is if people buy them.

I'm in for a manual edition... it's why I joined finally. However, it will have to wait nearer the end of production, since I have a CEO (aka wife) to contend with...

Good find.

Not that I care for a car like this, but the manual really hurts the gas mileage rating.



EPA-estimated 23 city/31 hwy/26 combined mpg rating for 2023 GR Supra 3.0 AT and 3.0 Premium AT;

EPA-estimated 19 city/27 hwy/21 combined mpg rating for 2023 GR Supra 3.0 MT, 3.0 Premium MT
and A91-MT Edition

Looks like simply changing 2022 to 2023 in the URL on the Toyota website gets you access to the new eBrochure.

Nothing too new from my quick lookover, except this confirms the new 19 inch forged wheels are standard on ALL 3.0s.

Good find, thanks for sharing. I was hoping that they were going to implement some sort of launch control into the manuals but it doesn't surprise me that it's auto only. Not a deal breaker since it's not all that great on the existing ones anyways.

"19-in. Frozen Gunmetal Gray forged-aluminum wheels " standard on all 3.0's is awesome, I really dislike the wheels on the '22 Supra.

I think the new wheels are the best ones yet. That new blue is amazing
