Instead of giving us BMW M3 Competition levels of excitement, Toyota has rolled out yet another special edition of the GR Supra. Limited to merely 600 examples, the A91-CF is a North America-only affair.
Pop the hood of the curiously-named sports car, and you’ll find a familiar straight-six turbo with 382 horsepower and 369 pound-feet (500 Nm) of torque available from 1,800 to 5,000 revs. Toyota says the A91-CF accelerates to 60 miles per hour (97 kilometers per hour) in 3.9 seconds, which are exactly the same numbers you can expect from a BMW Z4 M40i.
Carbon-fiber accents dominate the visual makeover, along with a duckbill spoiler and matte-black wheels featuring a double-spoke design. For all the rights of this limited-edition model, the A91-CF still features the fake vents of every other GR Supra in the lineup, including the lowly 2.0-liter variant.
Red-painted calipers with the Supra logo in white, leather and Alcantara for the cabin, red stitching, 14-way power adjustments for the heated seats, and carbon-fiber interior trim are worthy of mention as well. Adaptive Variable Sport suspension and the active rear differential promise to elevate the car’s handling in the corners, and daily-driving customers should also look forward to full-screen Apple CarPlay compatibility. Unlike the BMW Z4 on which it’s based, the GR Supra doesn’t feature Android Auto because of iDrive 6.
Considering that most Bimmers run iDrive 7 and iDrive 8 has been detailed in March 2021, the GR Supra feels pretty outdated in this regard. Adding insult to injury, the A91-CF Edition doesn’t come fully loaded even though it’s the “most exclusive Mark V Supra to date” as per Toyota’s own words.
In the Japanese automaker’s infinite wisdom, an essential such as blind-spot monitoring is an optional extra. You can’t have it on a standalone basis, but only as a package that further includes rear cross-traffic alert, parking sensors with emergency braking function, and dynamic radar cruise control.
