Toyota Launches GR Supra GT4 EVO2 for 2025: Evolution

Just when you thought the Toyota GR Supra GT4 couldn’t get any better—or, let’s be honest, any more difficult to pronounce without sounding like a mouthful of alphanumeric soup—Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) went ahead and slapped an EVO2 on the end of it. Because why not? If it worked for Arnold Schwarzenegger in the Terminator movies, it’ll surely work for a racing machine, right?

The GR Supra GT4 EVO2, set to make its world debut in January 2025 during the IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge at Daytona (because nothing says "welcome to the world" like a 24-hour endurance race), is here to prove that Toyota isn’t just resting on its laurels. Nope, they’ve been busy tinkering under the hood like a mad scientist with a pit crew, determined to squeeze every ounce of performance, reliability, and operability out of this track titan.

Since the original GR Supra GT4 hit the scene in 2020, it’s been something of a globe-trotting superstar, racking up over 120 sales, more than 500 podium finishes, and a class champion title in three regions: Asia, the United States, and Europe. The car’s so popular, it might as well have its own reality TV show—"Keeping Up with the GR Supras."

But even after all those accolades, TGR thought, “You know what this needs? More EVOlution.” Enter the EVO2, with a host of upgrades that sound like they’ve been ripped straight from a motorsport engineer’s fever dream. ABS maps have been re-tuned to within an inch of their digital lives, ensuring that whether you’re on a freshly paved circuit in Japan or a rain-soaked track in Europe, your braking and cornering will be as optimal as a samurai’s sword strike.

And let’s talk about downshifting. It’s been fine-tuned so precisely that your grandmother could downshift into a hairpin turn and still make it look like she’s been racing since before you were born. Thanks to some software wizardry, the rev matching is so spot-on that you might just find yourself downshifting at the dinner table—who needs cutlery when you’ve got deceleration control?

But TGR didn’t stop there. They’ve also optimized cockpit temperatures because, let’s face it, nobody wants to race in a sauna. So, whether you’re a pro racer or an ambitious amateur trying not to sweat through your Nomex suit, the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 has you covered.

And the cherry on top? This bad boy is easier to drive than ever before, meaning you don’t have to be a motorsport demi-god to get the most out of it. If you can drive, you can race—and with the EVO2, you might even win.

Get ready, because the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 is ready to hit the tracks. And if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one, just remember: with great EVOlution comes great responsibility. Oh, and a hell of a lot of fun!
