2023 Toyota GR Supra Manual Review: More Engaging With A Stick

When the Toyota GR Supra launched a few years ago, diehard enthusiasts were furious that it wasn't available with a manual transmission option. After three model years on sale, Toyota has answered those demands, offering the 2023 GR Supra with a six-speed manual on all six-cylinder models.We've driven aftermarket efforts before, but this is the first time you've been able to get the A90 Supra from the factory with three pedals.

In order for us to discover if the new transmission was worth the wait, Toyota flew us out to Park City, Utah, to drive the manual-equipped Supra on the race track. After spending some high-speed, quality time with the car, we have some thoughts on the new gearbox and the Supra itself three years into its life cycle.

Which Supra Models Get The Manual?

As with last year's car, the 2023 Supra has two available BMW-supplied engines: a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder and a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six. The base power plant produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque, good for 0-60 in five seconds flat. If you opt for this lower-power Supra, the eight-speed automatic is the only transmission choice.

The manual transmission is only available on the six-cylinder models, but all trims with this engine can spec the stick. Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium models offer the manual at no cost, while the new A91 MT Edition (limited to 500 units in the US) only comes with three pedals. Outputs remain the same as last year's model, with 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. 0-60 takes around 3.9 seconds with the automatic, but the new manual slows that time down to 4.2 seconds; that's the price you pay for rowing your own gears.
