Like all great spinoffs, the Toyota Supra has created its own story over the last 45 years. Once a variant of the Celica and then a hero car in a movie that would launch a multi-billion-dollar franchise, the Toyota Supra name carries a lot of gravitas.
That’s ignoring its racing pedigree in Super GT, on drag strips, and more. Honoring the Supra’s 45th birthday, the folks at Toyota churned out 900 limited-edition examples of the 3.0-liter-powered Supra.
Not officially linked to the Fast and Furious film franchise, the company does hint that it’s inspired by a custom MkIV Toyota Supra that appeared on the big screen. Still fundamentally the same as the rest of the six-cylinder Supras, this special edition comes in an orange or white finish, sports special graphics, and has a wing.
On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the ’24 Toyota Supra 45th Anniversary Edition and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the ’24 Supra and highlights some of its features, nods to the Fast and Furious Supra, and more.
Wren also takes you along on a live drive review of this stick-shifted Supra. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek’s Patrick Carone about the Supra, The Fast and the Furious, famous movie cars, and more. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this Supra special.
