Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
If you’re a cash buyer, the Toyota GR Supra is cheaper than the equivalent Porsche Cayman and much cheaper than the Jaguar F-Type.
It shouldn't cost a fortune to run because when we tested the 2.0 it averaged a very healthy 37.1mpg, and even the ‘big six' 3.0 should do more than 30mpg if you drive it sensibly. Residual values are on a par with the F-Type, but both the Cayman and Alpine A110 beat the Supra. Don't expect cheap company car tax because all versions are in the top tax bracket, which is fairly typical for cars in the sports car class.
The 3.0-litre Jarama gets 19in alloy wheels, adaptive cruise control and a bunch of extra safety kit, while the 3.0 Pro gets leather seats, a head-up display and ambient lighting. The only problem is that if you do want to add something you can't – the only option is metallic paint.
The 3.0 Pro is the one we’d go for because it’s still surprisingly good value – relatively speaking, of course – compared with its rivals.
Euro NCAP hasn’t tested the GR Supra, but you certainly get plenty of kit to prevent a crash from happening in the first place. All models receive automatic emergency braking (AEB), lane-departure assist, traffic sign recognition and e-Call emergency assist. The 3.0 models add blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.
