Since Toyota released the GR Supra, rumors have been circulating that the car will be equipped with a hand-operated transmission, and the news can be said to be more and more certain. There is more evidence that the original factory will make this car have the joy of handling the hand train transmission, and there is even news that the hand row GR Supra will be published in 2023. Although none of these news has been officially confirmed, the original factory has no intention of denying it, and the latest rumors indicate that a press conference for the car will be held in Japan.
However, for fans, the news this time is good and bad, the good side of course is that the hand-row gearbox is finally going to be launched, but the bad side is that the model with the hand-row gearbox is more expensive than the general version.
According to the relevant documents from dealers, the option of the hand-operated transmission will only appear on the six-cylinder engine version, while the lower-gauge 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder power will only retain the option of an eight-speed automatic transmission. It seems that the part of the hand transmission will be installed in the special edition model, which will be called the matte white special. Among them, in addition to the setting of the six-speed manual row, the interior will adopt a special coffee tone, and at the same time equipped with wireless charging equipment and USB charging holes, the price will be 550,000 yen more expensive than the general inline six-cylinder engine model, equivalent to about 30,000 yuan, which is a lot of money, not to mention that everyone was expecting the hand row model to have a cheaper price, and now it is obviously the opposite situation.
Toyota currently launches a special edition of the Supra every year, and the latest rumor is that an official press release will be issued on April 28, and production will begin in July, with sales starting as soon as October. However, fans with limited budgets should not be too sad, because many people predict that in addition to the matte Whites version, there will also be a general six-speed manual model, but the price may not be too different from the car equipped with the self-propelled transmission. From all indications, the hand-pulled Supra will almost certainly start delivering this year, but how the price will be set is the focus of everyone's attention.
