Toyota Supra: Get Ready For A Fully Electric Version In 2025

The Long-Awaited Toyota Supra GRMN Model to Close Out the Current Generation with an Impressive 405kW.

The Toyota Supra is set to undergo a battery-electric transformation in the coming years, with a 405kW GRMN version of the current-generation sports car expected to be released in the next couple of years.

According to a well-placed source within Toyota, Japanese website Best Car reports that the Supra will feature a battery-electric powertrain with e-motor/s at the rear axle and a “design reminiscent of mid-ship sports [car]”.

This sixth-generation Supra is expected to be revealed in 2025, with peak power of 330-368kW mooted – significantly higher than the current GR Supra’s 285kW from its turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six. Before the EV sports car (dubbed the A100 Supra) emerges, the long-awaited GRMN Supra is set to be released as a high-performance send-off for the popular coupe, packing the same 405kW ‘S58’ engine as the formidable BMW M4 CSL. This GRMN version of the Supra is expected to be a limited-edition model, with only a few hundred units being produced. It will be equipped with a range of performance upgrades, including a revised suspension setup, improved brakes, and a more powerful engine.

The next-generation Supra EV could also spawn an electrified Mazda RX-7 successor, which has been linked to Toyota’s GR product development program. The new RX-7 is expected to feature a plug-in hybrid rotary powertrain, combining a petrol engine and electric motor for enhanced performance. The RX-7 is also expected to feature a lightweight construction, allowing it to achieve superior acceleration and handling.

The battery-electric transformation of the Toyota Supra promises to be an exciting development for sports car enthusiasts, with the potential for a high-performance GRMN version and an electrified Mazda RX-7 successor. The sixth-generation Supra is expected to be revealed in 2025, with peak power of 330-368kW mooted – significantly higher than the current GR Supra’s 285kW from its turbocharged 3.0-litre straight six.

With the potential for such impressive performance figures, the battery-electric Supra and RX-7 are sure to be highly sought-after vehicles.
