Toyota Gazoo Racing is delighted to reveal the GR Supra GT4 Evo, an upgraded version of the dedicated race car that has already earned 50 class wins, more than 100 podium finishes, and eleven victories in GT4 championships throughout the world since its homologation in 2020.

Competition within the popular ‘customer racing’ GT4 category is intense, and Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) wished to ensure that the GR Supra remained a class favourite. Therefore, in addition to providing track support to customers and teams where possible, Toyota Gazoo Racing engineers actively sought feedback – the sort of development insights that are only possible to fully understand through the pressure of live competition.

Such insights and constructive requests directly contributed to the development of the Evo model, leading to targeted improvements in the key areas of brake, handling and engine performance.

Thanks to an improved brake system design, new ABS settings, latest KW damper technology and updated anti-roll bar specification, the GR Supra GT4 Evo delivers improved handling and higher cornering speeds. Drivers will be able to push for faster lap times due to increased power and an optimised torque curve of the 3.0-litre, six-cylinder, turbocharged engine, which also benefits from more effective cooling.

Orders for the GR Supra GT4 Evo are now being taken via regional TGR centres, with the model scheduled to make its competitive debut in January 2023 at the 24 Hours of Daytona, the first round of the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge season. Brand new cars cost €186,000 euros plus taxes, customs and logistics fees. Existing GR Supra GT4 owners can order an upgrade kit to elevate their race car to Evo specification.
