Toyota GR Supra Paul Walker

A 1994 Toyota Supra driven by Paul Walker was sold in Las Vegas three months ago. Now Tom’s Racing has decided to produce three copies of this model as a tribute to Paul Walker.

The GR Supra is finished in Matte white like the Supra used in the scenes of the movie “Fast and Furious”. The project is the result of a collaboration between Tom’s Racing and Safari.

The Supra is powered by a 3.0-liter engine with 420 hp (313 kW). That is, compared to the base model, an increase of 38 hp (28 kW) thanks to the Power Box. The engine is paired with an eight-speed sports automatic transmission that transmits power to the rear wheels. It rides on 20-inch forged aluminum wheels.

Inside, the seats upholstered in leather are more sporty, and there are carbon patterns for a better atmosphere.

The car is based on the 2020 GR Supra ZR with a wheel base of 2470 mm. The length of the car is 4380 mm, width 1865 mm and height 1290 mm. It is equipped with a rear wing like the one on the Supra A80 and a new adjustable suspension.

Paul Walker was a big fan of the Toyota Supra model. This limited model will sell for 12.97 million Yen, which is just under $ 117,000.
