Toyota Australia has secured additional GR Supra stock with a limited number of cars available now directly from dealerships.

This follows a successful series of online reservations that was designed to ensure a fair allocation of restricted initial stock, with total sales reaching 345 cars to the end of January.

Toyota has also announced Supra will receive a power upgrade with suspension changes, towards the end of 2020.

The GR Supra will gain 35kW, lifting maximum power output by 14 per cent to 285kW from the 3.0-litre inline six-cylinder turbo engine.

The updated Supra will also gain refinements to handling that includes new under-bonnet chassis braces that deliver even greater rigidity.

Currently, the Supra offers 250kW/500Nm in two grades, priced from $84,900 for the Supra GT, with the top-of-the-range GTS variant starting at $94,900.

It has standard active limited slip differential and adaptive suspension, 18-inch (GT) or 19-inch (GTS) wheels with Michelin rubber, and driver assistance features include active cruise control, pre-collision warning with autonomous braking and daytime pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane departure alert, speed limit info and active speed limiter.

Additional safety features include seven airbags, blind-spot monitor, rear cross-traffic alert, reversing camera, parking sensors, rear-end collision warning and tyre pressure monitor.

Inside, the GR Supra features dual-zone climate-control air-conditioning, keyless smart entry and start, leather-accented sports seats with eight-way electric adjustment and lumbar support, a 10-speaker multimedia system with Bluetooth connectivity, AM/FM/DAB+ radio, satellite navigation and voice recognition, and a wireless phone charger.

Pricing has not been announced for the updated GR Supra, but there will likely be an increase linked to the updates. Availability is expected to be more limited than for the current car.
