2026 Toyota GR Supra MkV Says Goodbye with a Racy Final Edition
The gets a MkV Final Edition with several performance-focused upgrades.
The Final Edition features upgraded brakes and a retuned suspension, along with a standard 382-hp turbo six and an available stick shift.
The 2026 Supra MkV Final Edition will soon go on sale starting at $69,085, and production of the fifth generation will officially end next spring.
The fifth-generation Toyota Supra is set to end production in early 2026, but Toyota is saying goodbye with a MkV Final Edition—and it's more than just unique 19-inch wheels and available decals. While the version that customers in the United States get isn't as hardcore as the limited-production A90 Final Edition that's only sold overseas, the 2026 Toyota Supra MkV Final Edition does have several performance-enhancing upgrades that separate it from its siblings.
Whereas the A90 FE has a 429-hp version of the sports car's BMW-sourced turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six, the U.S.-spec model sticks with the standard output (382 horsepower, 368 pound-feet of torque). That power is sent to the rear wheels through either an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. And whether or not you choose the three-pedal option, every MkV Final Edition has a carbon-fiber ducktail spoiler, elevated front tire spats, and flaps on the front wheel arches.
For those who want to make their MkV Final Edition stand out a little more, Toyota will offer a GT4 appearance pack (seen in these photos). It's inspired by the brand's GR Supra GT4 EVO2 race car, and the kit includes distinctive side graphics, red mirror caps, a matte-painted rear spoiler, and the Supra emblem out back is also matte black. Going the GT4 route also unlocks two exclusive extra-cost matte paint options: Burnout and Undercover.
To help make the Supra more precise at the racetrack or the squiggly roads near where you live, it tweaked the software that controls the rear diff to help improve traction and reduce understeer. The actual steering is said to feel more direct, and all four tires have a revised camber angle to aid cornering grip. Other suspension changes include stronger rubber bushings, an upgraded front anti-roll bar, and retuned adaptive dampers. Toyota also added a new underbody brace to help improve rigidity. And if you overcook a corner—or you're stupidly looking at your phone while quickly approaching stopped traffic—better Brembo brakes are there to help save your ass.
Inside, the Supra's Final Edition has leather-trimmed, Alcantara seats, which are spruced up with red contrast stitching and a GR logo in the headrests. The shift knob also has red accents, and, not to be outdone, the seatbelts are red too.
The regular 2026 GR Surpa 3.0 starts at $58,035, and the better-equipped Premium trim rises to $61,185. Meanwhile, the MkV Final Edition comes in at just under $70K—$69,085, to be exact. It's unclear if Toyota has plans for a sixth-generation Supra, so we'll just have to enjoy what we have while we have it.

Lexus LFA Successor with Possible Twin-Turbo V-8 Spied Testing in Public
The Lexus LFA's spiritual successor was recently spotted driving around Southern California. These spy shots are our latest look at the next supercar, which could be powered by a hybrid twin-turbo V-8. While we don't know what the low-slung coupe will be called, there are rumors that it will be called the LFR. When the Lexus RC ends production after this year, the brand will be left without a sports car for the first time in a long time, but that might not last too long. We've been eagerly awaiting more details about the Lexus LFA's spiritual successor, and recent spy photos show that the racy two-door coupe is getting closer to production. And guess what? It'll have a gas-powered engine. A Car and Driver reader named Kory Hughs graciously sent us a couple of photos of the next Lexus supercar covered in camouflage and driving around the mountain roads near Big Bear Lake, California. While the new images only show the driver's side and rear end of the car, they do provide a glimpse of the quad exhaust pipes, confirming that there's an internal-combustion engine under the rakish coupe's long hood. The powertrain is expected to combine a hybrid system with a twin-turbo V-8, but we're still waiting for Lexus to confirm those details. This isn't our first look at the LFA follow-up, which will reportedly be called the LFR. We've previously seen spy photos of it testing at and around the Nürburgring. Unlike the car that was recently spied in California, the ones that were lapping the famous German racetrack used different types of fixed rear wings. It also wore yellow warning stickers, which suggest it features electric power in addition to its combustion engine. Our spy photographer also captured some images of the car's unfinished interior and claimed that the prototype was lapping the 'Ring in under eight minutes. It's believed that Toyota's Gazoo Racing division is working on building a new GT3 car for a full-fledged racing program, which it hinted at back in 2022 with a concept that looks an awful lot like the forthcoming LFR—or whatever it's going to be called. Considering a prototype is now testing on public roads, we should learn more about the LFA's replacement sometime next year, and we think the production version could possibly debut for the 2027 model year.

Best Bang for Your Buck: These Used Cars Under $30K Pack Safety, Style, and Performance
There are many reasons to buy used rather than new. Of course, money is a significant factor, but there's more to it than that. With used cars, you don't eat the depreciation; the first owner does. And if you can find one covered by the original warranty, you're covered if anything happens. There are some good options out there, especially if you're on a budget. Through our research, we've found several used cars under $30,000. We looked for those that received awards from either the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and are widely available. Given the price point, we looked for vehicles with fewer than 75,000 miles. If there's one car Honda can be proud of, it's the Honda Accord, which debuted in 1976. The 2022 model is a midsize sedan with plenty of space inside the cabin and the trunk. You might find any one of the six available trims in dealerships across the country for under $30,000. The Honda Accord has received top safety ratings from both the NHTSA and IIHS. It has several safety features, including a crash prevention system. Like the Honda Accord, the Toyota Camry is a popular sedan in the US. It ranked in Car & Driver's 25 bestselling vehicles for 2024. In our search, we found the 2023 model for sale for under $30,000. Many even had fewer than 50,000 miles and a lot of life left. In 2023, the Camry received the IIHS top safety pick+ award, plus all trims received five stars from the NHTSA. Subarus are well-known for their safety awards and ratings and frequently hit the IIHS top safety pick+, which it did in 2021. That year's model also has a five-star NHTSA rating. The 2021 Legacy has AWD and gets a combined 30 MPG. We found many for sale across the country, well under the $30,000 budget and 75,000 mileage constraints. If you're looking for a luxury brand, the 2021 Acura TLX is one you can find in abundance. This midsize sedan is available for below $30,000 and comes in several trims. Many of the models are well below the 75,000-mile threshold we set in our methodology. The IIHS awarded it its top safety pick+ in 2021, and the NHTSA awarded it five stars for all trims. Toyota vehicles are known for their reliability, and the 2020 Avalon is no exception. It's a pretty easy vehicle to find at dealerships In 2019, it received the IIHS top safety pick+ award and both the gas-powered and hybrid models have a five-star rating from the NHTSA. If you're in the market for a compact used car under $30,000, the Honda Civic Hatchback can be found for around $21,000 to $24,000. It's touted for its comfort and fuel efficiency in reviews. The IIHS awarded the vehicle its top safety pick in 2021, and it has a five-star rating through the NHTSA. If compact isn't your thing, you can pick up a 2022 Nissan Altima, a mid-size sedan, for $15,000 to $20,000, many with well under 75,000 miles on them. In a Car & Driver review, the Altima was praised for its fuel-efficiency, 32 MPG combined, and its safety features. It was given the top safety pick+ award, and both FWD and AWD trims have a five-star NHTSA rating. The Volvo S60 first came out in 2000 (2021 model) and was discontinued last year as the company shifted its focus to SUVs. However, the 2020 model (and later years) is still floating around out there for around $20,000. It comes in four different trims with a combined fuel efficiency of 25 to 30 MPG. The IIHS awarded the 2020 S60 its top safety pick that year and both the T5 and T6 trims have a five-star NHTSA rating, while the T8 models are not rated. Let's take it up a notch and introduce another luxury vehicle you could find for under $30,000. The 2021 Lexus IS originally had an MSRP starting at $40,025 but can now be found for under $30,000 in some instances. It's not the roomiest car on our list, but those in the market for one are probably already familiar with this. All trims have a five-star NHTSA rating and received the IIHS top safety pick+ that year. Last, but certainly not least on our list is the 2021 Mercedes-Benz C-Class. This model is available in the $20,000 range, depending on the mileage and dealership. It's your chance to get a luxury car without breaking the bank. It gets approximately 25 to 27 MPG combined and has several safety features such as automated emergency braking and a lane departure warning system. The 2021 C-Class received the IIHS top safety pick+ and the NHTSA awarded the 4WD and RWD models a five-star rating.

Who Needs Tint? Auto Dimmable Rear Windows Are The Next Thing

Electrochromic glass may not be a new technology by any means, but it still feels magical. If you've ever had the chance to sit in a car with a sunroof made out of the stuff, it's pretty incredible. With a press of a button, the skylight goes from perfectly clear and bright to dark, to keep the sun's rays from beating down on your head. Toyota has incorporated the tech into its flagship Century luxury SUV that the company sells over in Japan, but not how you'd expect. On the Century, the side windows in the back are electrochromic as well, and they don't so much go dark as become frosted, to allow soft light in. This feature is hitting in the headlines, but it isn't new. The Century was revealed two years ago, but likely got buried under the vehicle's other party-piece tech tricks, of which it has many. When Toyota first unveiled the latest Century, it showed off a model with sliding doors. The second-row captain's chairs can lie nearly flat and include power footrests, and the Century even has a drive mode specifically to enhance rear passenger comfort, because the idea is that if you have access to one of these, you're probably not driving it yourself. But it's the side windows that have caught our attention. Toyota says they can switch between three modes: clear, semi-translucent, and opaque. Again, what's interesting about this is that the glass doesn't appear to darken. Light still passes through it, but you simply can't see anything on the other side. It's a brilliant use of the tech, and it's got to feel surreal to be enveloped in as a passenger. The three steps of the Toyota Century's SUV 'Digital Curtain' window glass. Toyota The technology was developed by a company called AGC. According to the firm, the Century represents the first time electrochromic glass has been used in car doors. AGC says it had to test the system to withstand the mechanical rigors of movable glass because, up until the Century, this sort of thing was only applied to fixed roof segments. The way it works is relatively simple to explain: There's a thin film made of 'special material' (good luck getting that secret recipe) that contains particles arranged in a random pattern to scatter light. When a voltage is applied to the film, the particles align, making the film transparent. If you look closely at this image from when the SUV was unveiled, it looks like the rear quarter glass is opaque, while the side door's window is obviously clear, possibly because the door is its marketing materials, Toyota likens the opaque effect to 'sitting in a Japanese-style room.' That's appropriate, given that the Century has long been Toyota's showcase for what happens when you combine the pinnacle of Japanese art and engineering in one automobile. We're still sad to be missing out on it here in the States, but Toyota did finally bring the Crown over here several years ago, so we shouldn't lose hope entirely that the Century could someday follow it along.
