Toyota’s Supra GRMN has been a highly anticipated model, but with no official release yet, enthusiasts have turned to aftermarket tuners to bridge the gap. Manhart, a renowned BMW M tuner, has stepped up with their Supra GR 550. This tuned version boasts a significant power upgrade, thanks to a series of modifications.
Under the hood, Manhart has upgraded the turbos and added a carbon intake to enhance airflow and boost performance. A remap of the engine’s ECU further optimizes power delivery. These modifications result in a substantial increase in power and torque, with the Supra GR 550 delivering 550 horsepower and 568 pound-feet of torque.
The tuned Supra’s upgraded exhaust system with valve control and black quad exhaust tips not only enhances the car’s sound but also allows the engine to breathe more freely. Manhart also offers optional downpipes and OPF delete pipes for even more aggressive performance. With its increased power and improved exhaust system, the Manhart Supra GR 550 delivers a thrilling driving experience.
While it may not be the official Supra GRMN that many have been waiting for, it offers a compelling alternative for those seeking a more powerful and customizable version of Toyota’s iconic sports car. Manhart has taken Toyota’s GR Supra and given it a comprehensive overhaul.
Beyond engine modifications, the tuner has added a carbon fiber body kit, including side skirts, a front spoiler, a diffuser, a wing, taillight covers, hood inserts, and mirror casings. To complement the aggressive exterior, Concave One wheels in 20-inch sizes, with wider rears, are wrapped in performance tires.
Lowering springs or a coilover suspension system, along with wheel spacers, enhance the Supra’s stance. The car’s white exterior is accented with black and red details. While the brakes remain standard, Manhart offers upgrades upon request, and interior customizations are also available.
The performance enhancements, including engine modifications, come at a premium, with prices starting at around €11,999. The total cost can easily exceed €33,000, making it more expensive than a new GR Corolla in the United States.
However, for those seeking a highly customized and more powerful Supra, Manhart’s transformation offers a compelling option. The combination of the aggressive exterior, enhanced performance, and exclusive customization options set this Supra apart from the stock model.
While the price tag may be steep, it reflects the level of engineering and craftsmanship that Manhart has put into this vehicle. For enthusiasts who are willing to invest in a truly unique and high-performance Supra, Manhart’s transformation is a worthy consideration.
