The Toyota GR Supra (model code J29/DB or A90/A91 for marketing purposes) is a sports car manufactured by Magna Steyr for Toyota since 2019. The fifth-generation Supra, the GR Supra was sold under and developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) brand in collaboration with BMW. It is the successor of the A80 Supra, which ceased production in 2002.

The GR Supra rides on a platform developed by Toyota and BMW, which also underpins the G29 BMW Z4. Both cars are manufactured at the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria. In October 2025, Toyota confirmed that the production of the GR Supra officially ended in March of 2026 after 7 years of production.

In 2010, Toyota applied for a trademark for the Supra name. On 13 January 2014, Toyota unveiled its new FT-1 concept car. The production Supra was smaller and more of a pure sports car design, as opposed to the FT-1 being a larger grand tourer. According to Akio Toyoda, the new Supra's design and performance identity were inspired by the Toyota 2000GT. On 12 July 2018, a pre-production version of the Supra was unveiled with a camouflage paint scheme at the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

The fifth-generation Supra was unveiled at the January 2019 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The launch marked a 17-year hiatus since the previous generation was last sold. It was unveiled by Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda, who announced the Supra was tuned and developed with extensive testing at the Nürburgring. Two-time Formula 1 champion and Toyota Gazoo Racing driver Fernando Alonso was also present to help launch the Supra. The Supra went on sale in Japan on 17 May 2019. In the United States, sales began on 22 July 2019 with a starting base price tag of US$49,990.

The Supra is powered by two BMW-sourced engine options: a turbocharged B48 2.0-litre inline-four or a turbocharged B58 3.0-litre inline-six. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission that was fully re-calibrated by Toyota. A specialized ZF S6-53 (GS6L50TZ) 6-speed manual transmission option was made available in 2022 for the 2023 model year for the six-cylinder engine only.

A test conducted by Car and Driver in December 2019 recorded the acceleration of the 3.0 L model from 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 3.7 seconds. German magazine Sport Auto set a lap time in August 2019 on the Nürburgring Nordschleife with a 2020 GR Supra on factory Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres of 7:52.17 minutes.

In late November 2024, Toyota unveiled the A90 Final Edition for Europe and Japan, which serves as the last edition of the A90 Supra. The A90 Final Edition includes parts sourced from and inspired by the GT4 race car, such as carbon-fibre front spoiler, canards, removable bonnet duct, and swan-neck rear wing, as well as the rear subframe from the race car and extra bracing. The model has a 70 kW (94 hp) and 70 N⋅m (52 lb⋅ft) power increase over the standard 3.0 model, bringing total power to 324 kW (434 hp) and torque to 571 N⋅m (421 lb⋅ft).
