2022 Toyota Supra Gets A $300 Bump In Price And A New $63k Carbon Fiber Edition

Toyota has announced pricing for the 2022 Supra range and the cost of buying the car has risen, as has the cost of shipping the car to you.

For 2022, the entry-level 2.0-liter Supra rings in at $43,290, $300 more from its base price in 2021, which was $42,990. That’s not the extent of it, though. For 2022, Toyota has also upped its “Delivery Processing & Handling fee” from $995 to $1,025. So customers who waited until this year to buy a cheap Supra will actually be paying $330 more than they would have last year.

Prices for the 3.0-liter Supra have risen even more. Starting at $51,640 ($52,665 w/ destination) in 2022, that’s $650 more than customers were paying in 2021, which was already $1,000 more than they were paying in 2020.

The GR Supra 3.0 Premium also gets a bit of a price bump for 2022, with an MSRP of $54,790 ($55,815 w/ destination), or $300 more than it cost last year. It gets a red leather-trimmed interior option and models equipped with the Premium Audio package get full-screen Apple Car Play.

Finally, the A91-Carbon Fiber Edition is new to the lineup and prices start at a whopping $63,280 ($64,305 w/ destination). The model is limited to just 600 examples, though, and is the most exclusive Mark V Supra to date. It features handmade carbon fiber accents, including a duckbill spoiler, a front splitter, and rockers. It also gets unique 19-inch wheels and can be finished in matte-gray Phantom, Absolute Zero White, or Nitro Yellow.

Like the other 3.0-liter Supras, it makes 382 hp (387 PS/285 kW) and can get to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 3.9 seconds. The 2.0-liter model, meanwhile, develops 255 hp (259 PS/190 kW) and can reach highway speeds in just five seconds. Both make more power than they did in 2020 thanks to upgrades introduced last year.

As a nice added touch, every 2022 GR Supra comes with a complimentary one-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which gives them access to perks like discounted admission to NASA events and a free high-performance driving event.

Which Sounds Louder, The New Toyota Supra Or The C8 Corvette?

One might have thought that the 2020 Corvette Stingray’s exhaust note would be much louder than the 2020 Toyota Supra, but as it turns out, that’s not the case.

The C8 Corvette is powered by a 6.2-liter naturally aspirated V8 located right behind the cabin. By comparison, the Supra uses a 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder mounted up front.

Eager to see just how loud the two cars are, a YouTuber grabbed a decibel meter and placed it behind the two sports cars’ exhausts. After a rev-off, the Supra hit a peak of 108.3 decibels while the Corvette maxed out at 102.9 decibels.

This is a bit of a surprise, to say the least, as we’ve driven the Supra and didn’t think it was all that loud. Furthermore, the only pleasant sound that the exhaust emits are the pops and cracks. Other than that, it’s quite bland. The same can be said about the engine. It is muffled and, from the driver’s seat, is drowned out by the sound of the exhaust.

By comparison, the C8 Corvette, complete with the available performance exhaust, has a much more brutal and intoxicating exhaust note but does lack the cracks of the Supra. So, while the Supra’s exhaust may be louder, the V8 of the Corvette sounds much better from inside the car than the Supra’s six-cylinder does.

2021 Toyota Supra Is More About The Handling Than The Extra Power

While the 2021 Toyota Supra doesn’t really look any different than the 2020 model year car, it does benefit from a series of upgrades that have considerable impacts on how it performs, as Matt Farah recently discovered.

The read headline for the 2021 Supra relates to the engine. While it retains the 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder mill of the 2020 model, Toyota says this engine now pumps out 382 hp between 5,800 rpm and 6,500 rpm while churning out 368 lb-ft (499 Nm) of torque between 1,800 rpm and 5,000 rpm. These figures represent gains of 47 hp and 3 lb-ft over last year’s model.

In other reviews of the 2021 Supra it’s been stated that it feels quicker than the 2020 model, but Farah says he doesn’t really feel much of a difference.

There are some improvements that have been made which are more noticeable. For example, Toyota re-engineered the bump stops on the Supra so it is now more composed on bumpy road surfaces and feels more planted to the tarmac.

Other modifications have been made by Toyota. For example, they worked on increasing roll resistance and enhancing cornering stability of the Supra 3.0 and, alongside the new front and rear bump stops, achieved this with lightweight aluminum braces that tie the strut towers to the radiator support and new damper tuning. Additionally, the programming for the electric power steering, Adaptive Variable Suspension, Vehicle Stability Control, and Active Differential has been tweaked.
