Toyota Ends 2026 Supra Production, Plans Next-Gen Unconfirmed

Toyota has confirmed that production of the fifth-generation Supra will end in spring 2026, accompanied by a limited 2026 Final Edition release. The current Supra, developed in partnership with BMW, shares components with the BMW Z4, which is also set to be discontinued, prompting Toyota to consider developing the next Supra independently or with a new partner. Toyota officials, including Cooper Ericksen, Senior Vice President of Product Planning and Strategy for Toyota Motor North America, have indicated that a next-generation Supra is logical and planned, but the timing remains undecided, with an aim to minimize the gap between generations compared to the previous 17-20 year hiatus. Challenges such as new regulations, cost-effectiveness, and corporate priorities have contributed to delays and uncertainty surrounding the Supra's future. Rumors suggest the next Supra could feature a more independent Toyota design, potentially with a hybrid-assisted 2.0-liter turbocharged engine producing up to 592 horsepower. Despite the current model's impending discontinuation, Toyota is committed to keeping the Supra name alive, though specifics on the successor's development and launch timeline remain to be determined.
