Update: Here is a list of the limited edition Supras by VIN (for US market) as of 6/24/19 (posted by @ynguldyn)

> LIST OF LE SUPRAS BY VIN (US)



Original post:

I've seen some people trying to decipher their LE commemorative plaque numbers based on the VIN they have gotten and this may help. Here are some Supra LE VIN #s that I've gathered from here or other sources and their corresponding colors

All these VIN numbers except for the last two are able to be entered as valid VIN#s and confirmed as Launch Editions with options installed on Toyota's website:
https://www.toyota.com/owners/my-vehicle/vehicle-specification

  1. wz1db4c00lw020220 - red (order date 3/19)
  2. wz1db4c00lw020265 - black (order date 3/19)
  3. wz1db4c04lw021399 - white (order date 5/19)
  4. wz1db4c05lw021489 - black
  5. wz1db4c07lw022157 - red (order date 5/19)
  6. wz1db4c01lw022168 - ?
  7. wz1db4c03lw022947 - ? (dealer advertised as red)

So starting from VIN# xxxxxxxxxxx20201 (the first Supra sold at auction) it seems like the limited editions were not produced sequentially. Let me know if anyone can crack the code based on this data!

yeah, that's a typo it should have read 2019/06/03 and I'm no expert or have any affiliation. I just found the website and used the decoder, that's all..

Makes sense thanks. I started a post about what they are doing with the summit point cars. Think they will sell them as LE cars?

I'm thinking not, since it would be considered a used car wouldn't it?

With this there looks to still be LE that havent been manufactured
If I did it correctly, there are 1,544 VIN numbers in that list. If anyone already has their VIN it looks like you will be able to decipher your plaque number based on this list also.

What is the significance of the two digits immediately preceding LW in the serial number? The first characters are all WZ1DB4C followed by these two digits, followed by LW and the sequence number.

According to https://parts.olathetoyota.com/blog/4585/how-to-decode-toyota-vin :

"The ninth digit is a little like those magnetic strips in paper money: it’s a “check digit” designed to verify the authenticity of the VIN. It’s determined using a mathematical formula that involves the other numbers in the VIN."

Toyota VIN decoding is irrelevant. A90 is made using BMW processes through and through, including VIN assignments.

WZ1: Manufacturer - you can interpret it as "Magna Steyr for Toyota".
DB4C: BMW typschlüsselnummer (type code) for Supra 40i is DB43. US market cars always get their "3" modified to "C".
Digit 8: equipment specification. All A90s have a "0" here.
Digit 9: checksum
Digit 10: Model year. L is 2020.
Digits 11-17 are called "the last seven" or "VIN7" in BMW world. Until literally two months ago they served as a unique identifier of every BMW ever made. The first character is plant code, W is for Magna-Steyr Graz. The rest is just a serial number issued in sequence starting with W020201 that was auctioned off at Barrett-Jackson.
