Toyota Unveils Limited Edition GR Supra 45th Anniversary Model in the US

Toyota USA has revealed the latest addition to its lineup, the GR Supra 45th Anniversary Edition. This special edition model pays homage to the renowned Mk4 Supra, which can be traced back to the Celica Supra (known as the Celica XX in Japan). While it made its debut in 1978, the Celica Supra arrived in the US only in 1979.

This limited edition Supra is based on the premium grade variant, but customers can choose between a six-speed manual or an eight-speed automatic transmission.

Inside the cabin, a dedicated plaque on the side of the dashboard highlights the model's exclusivity.
