👣 Official: Toyota Announces Manual Transmission Supra!

[AHP]

Supposedly the special edition is matte white paint with a tan leather interior.

I've heard the matte white paint rumor but first I'm hearing of a tan interior. I'm not at all interested in either so unless there's something performance related I'll skip the SE.

After 40 years of driving manual sports cars and now having had some time driving autos for the past few years I'm done with manuals...That said, I'm still glad to see that Toyota is releasing a manual for the younger folks to enjoy playing with! They are engaging and fun to drive...

The only thing that would make me trade is if Toyota announced a Targa version...

I had had my fair share of manuals and driving in traffic is definitely frustrating. However I am still on the list for a GR Corolla since it’s about the only car currently I’d consider going back to a manual for. We have 2 of the new broncos at my job and the “manual” is so Full of nanny’s it’s becoming less like driving a true manual regardless

Okay, and now, about the targa...

If this manual transmission can’t hold more power than the auto. I really don’t see the benefits. IMO

Great news....

Let's see how many clueless "how feasible is a manual transmission swap" threads we get here.

Well I’m happy an sad all at the same time. Happy because it’s needed to be done and should have come manual out of the gate but sad because I’ve dropped $14,732.44 into my 21 already included the stage 1 trans upgrade from Pure Drivetrain Solutions hell that was over $6k right their and it shifts sooooo smoothly for being an upgraded trans. I doubt I trade it in especially since I’ve put this much into it but I am curious how the manual will feel.
From what I’ve read this isn’t some trans they’ve taken from another manufacturer. It’s been a totally planned and built from the ground up trans for the Supra. Guess time will tell. The ZF is already a tough trans but gotta love that manual

Supposedly the 2023 MY is also getting a power bumper.

We actually did it!

I feel like it was really Nissan who did this and not us.... happy none the less.

I'm sort of there with you. If the supra would have been available with the manual when i was looking, i may have ended up with one (if it would have came in Refraction), but now that i've had enough time behind the wheel, the ZF8 is amazing. I'd also bet that unlike the current premium manuals bring for the MK4, the auto in the MK5 will retain its value more moving forward as us older folks who love manuals are aging out...

Ultimately, this is a win for everyone and good on Toyota for making it happen.

It’s great that a manual and an automatic are now offered….

Choice is a good thing!

Shitttt I just joined these forums but I work at Toyota dealership and I’ve seen these in incoming inventory for a month or two now. I thought everyone already knew there’s 3 types. At least what shows

 

[BMW_GHOST_INSIDE]

I'm still betting it will only be for the 2.0 and not 3.0 Supras.

To my knowledge it was only 3.0s but I may be wrong
