Toyota Unveils Gen3 GR Supra for 2026 Supercars, Confirms 5.2-Litre V8 and Six-Car Entry

The entry restores a three‑manufacturer grid for the first time since 2019.

Overview

  • The Supercars-spec Supra runs a 5.2-litre quad-cam 2UR-GSE V8 with a square 94×94 bore and stroke, hydraulic VVT, a bespoke inlet manifold and extensive OEM components.
  • Six GR Supras will race in 2026, with Walkinshaw Andretti United fielding two cars and Brad Jones Racing entering four, and WAU supplying engines for all six.
  • Initial development milestones include dyno runs and first on‑car laps at Toyota’s Altona facility with Neil Crompton driving, with durability and parity work now the priority.
  • Final aero sign‑off awaits wind‑tunnel testing in the United States in December, and a public demonstration is planned at the Bathurst 1000 before a full national test program.
  • Toyota has closed local A90 Supra orders and plans to race the A90 body for several years to support its Gazoo Racing brand, while Hanley signaled a likely SMP season opener in February 2026.
