Chronology
PredecessorToyota Supra (A80)

The Toyota GR Supra (model code J29/DB or A90/A91 for marketing purposes) is a sports car produced by Toyota since 2019. The fifth-generation Supra, the GR Supra was sold under and developed by Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) brand in collaboration with BMW. It is the successor of the A80 Supra, which ceased production in 2002.

The GR Supra rides on a platform developed by Toyota and BMW, with a short wheelbase, wide track, and low centre of gravity, that also underpins the G29 BMW Z4.[10][11] Initially, BMW considered using a pre-existing platform of their own to underpin the new Supra, but chief engineer Tetsuya Tada declined.[12] Both cars are manufactured at the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria.[13]

The fifth-generation Supra uses BMW model code conventions, designated as a J29 series with DB model codes. However, Toyota used the "A90" and "A91" code for promotional and marketing materials for the fifth-generation Supra to maintain continuity from previous Supra generations.[1][2][14]
