Quick answer

Toyota launched the fifth-generation A90 Supra in Japan in May 2019. Toyota says it is produced at Magna Steyr's Graz plant in Austria as the first product of a comprehensive collaboration with BMW; the Japanese launch range paired B48 2.0-liter and B58 3.0-liter engines with an eight-speed sports automatic transmission.

Background

Overview

The fifth-generation Supra (A90/A91, 2019–2025) was developed jointly with BMW and built at Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, sharing the platform and powertrains of the BMW Z4 G29. North American cars launched with the B58B30 3.0L turbo inline-six (335 hp 2019–2020, revised to 382 hp from 2021), with the B48B20 2.0L turbo four (255 hp) offered in some markets. The ZF 8HP eight-speed automatic was the only transmission until the 6MT iMT became available on the 3.0 from 2023.

A90 collectibility is still forming. The early purist criticism — BMW co-development, shared interior switchgear, the absence of a Toyota-engineered drivetrain — has softened as the B58's tuning ceiling and the chassis's pace have become clearer. The cars that will hold value best are 6MT 3.0L examples, limited-run editions (Launch Edition, A91 Edition, A91-CF, A91-MT, 45th Anniversary), and low-mileage cars in rare colors. The 2019 launch year produced approximately 2,884 units globally; total US sales for the A90/A91 run remained modest by mainstream-coupe standards, which is the structural argument for long-term scarcity.

  • Six-speed manual available for RZ Toyota's 2022 enhancement announcement introduced a newly developed six-speed manual transmission option for the RZ trim level.

Why You Might Not

  • Buyers who cannot confirm whether the Japanese-market car has the B48 2.0-liter or B58 3.0-liter engine
  • Buyers who require a car developed and produced without Toyota's collaboration with BMW and Magna Steyr
