You Could Buy A Toyota Supra Final Edition For $69,085, Or Not...

Our opinion of the Toyota Supra is generally quite positive. In our latest review, we call out its powerful engines, excellent handling, and exciting sense of style. A cramped interior is kinda expected for a two-seat sports coupe, but it’s still an issue, as is the terrible visibility offered out its mail-slot windows.


And then there’s the final demerit: price. For 2026, the Supra model line starts at $58,035 (including destination) in the United States, or $65,774 in Canada. But for true Supra fans who want to see the much-loved nameplate go out in style, they may rather choose the MKV Final Edition model.


It gets an upgraded set of Brembo brakes, stiffer rubber suspension bushings, and revised camber angles for the front and rear wheels. From the outside, 19-inch matte black wheels, a ducktail carbon fiber rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, and higher front tire spats set it apart from lesser Supra models. We’ve heard that the Supra Final Edition is coming to Canada, but it will be extremely limited, and pricing is not yet known.

One thing the North American version of the Supra MKV Final Edition does not have is more power. It gets the same 382-horsepower 3.0-liter turbocharged six-cylinder engine as every other Supra for 2026, which wouldn’t bother us much except that some other markets get a major upgrade that pushes the horsepower tally all the way to 429. And it costs just shy of $70,000.


Instead of making the bold statement that it’s overpriced (it’s overpriced), we’re just going to show you some alternatives that a prospective buyer might want to consider on the used market. As we always do when we consider these exercises, we’ve limited our picks to cars sold within the last few years and with no more than the average of 12,000 miles per year on their odometers.

Option 1: BMW M2


As anyone who is considering parking a new Toyota Supra in their garage is likely aware, the reborn Japanese sports coupe was developed in close cooperation with BMW. In fact, the Supra is powered by a German engine. Under the 2026 Supra’s shapely hood sits a B58 inline-six that’s turbocharged to produce 382 ponies. In no way is this a bad thing. But if a BMW heart is acceptable here, buyers may also want to consider another BMW.


The 2023 and 2024 BMW M2 can be purchased all day long with reasonably low mileage for a sum that, in some cases, is thousands of dollars less than the 2026 Supra MKV Final Edition. The M2 is also powered by a turbocharged inline-six engine displacing 3.0 liters, but in this case, it’s the more powerful S58 version. Much more powerful, in fact. The M2 sends 453 horsepower (473 for 2025, for what it’s worth) to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission.


Granted, the Supra can be purchased with a six-speed manual or an eight-speed auto. If shifting gears is a prerequisite for purchase (we don’t blame you), you’ll have to skip the M2. Otherwise, it’s definitely worth consideration.

Option 2: Lexus LC 500


No, the Lexus LC 500 is not a proper sports car. It’s more of a grand tourer. If your automotive escapades revolve around finding new destinations in a car that’s fun to drive and lovely to look at, the LC, in both coupe and convertible variations, is well worth a look.


Perhaps the best thing about the Lexus LC is its 5.0-liter naturally aspirated beating heart. It’s not uncommon to find a big V8 under the hood of an American muscle car, but they aren’t all that common in Japanese luxury touring coupes like the Lexus LC. And it’s a brilliant engine. It makes 471 horsepower and some of the most glorious noises you’ll ever hear on the road.


The LC may have been introduced all the way back in 2018, but its styling still looks just as fresh eight years later as it did when we first laid eyes on it. We’d specifically recommend the convertible to those who can find one for sale near them at something around the Supra MKV Final Edition’s price. They aren’t as common as the coupe, but having the ability to hear that 5.0-liter V8 underhood is something worth searching for.


Option 3: 2019 Corvette Grand Sport


As its name implies, the 2026 Toyota Supra MKV Final Edition will be the final edition of this version of the Supra. Just like the 2019 model was the final edition of the seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette. Granted, a car from 2019 is indeed seven model years older than one from 2026, but we’re going to go ahead and include the final-edition C7 as a worthwhile consideration for those who might consider a final-edition Supra all the same.


We found a handful of 650-horsepower 2019 Corvette Z06 models within spitting distance of the Supra’s $70,000 price. But instead of stretching the budget, we’ll suggest the Grand Sport edition. It’s powered by the same 460-horsepower LT1 V8 as the Stingray, but benefits from improvements such as a wide-body design with stronger handling capabilities and magnetorheological suspension dampers. Perhaps best of all, it’s pretty easy to find one for $10,000 less than the Supra MKV Final Edition’s asking price.

Why Not Just Get a Supra MKV Final Edition?


We sure do like the Toyota Supra. It’s a really fun car to drive. But it’s not perfect. And it’s also awfully expensive, particularly in its Final Edition guise. There are good reasons to buy a Supra, especially for those who only consider new cars or for those who grew up idolizing older Supra models and who still dream of 2JZ engines and 10-second quarter miles. For the rest of us, a little comparison shopping on the used market might just turn up a gem or two at a price that undercuts the Final Edition by thousands of dollars.

    For $70k you can get a lower spec (i.e 1LT) NEW c8 corvette and im seeing used 2020- 2024 2Lt's for $68k to $71K. I've owned C5, C7 and now a 23 C8 2Lt and would take a C8 over any C7 any day.
