The Toyota GR Supra A90 (MKV; 5th-generation) stands as a titan in the world of high-performance sports cars, particularly among enthusiasts in New Jersey. With its rich history, merging Japanese engineering prowess with BMW’s automotive excellence, this model captures the hearts of collectors and drivers alike. Launched in 2020, the A90 Supra features the robust B58 inline-6 engine, producing a thrilling 335hp, with power options that now include the exciting 6-speed manual for 2023+ models.
As the demand for collectible sports cars continues to rise, the Supra A90 serves as a prime candidate for appreciating value. Whether it’s the original launch edition, the A91-CF Carbon Fiber Edition, or the latest manual variants, the market clearly shows a preference for unmodified, stock-condition vehicles that maintain their heritage. At Revive the Ride, we honor this legacy while supporting the community of collectors who recognize the potential of preserving these automotive icons.

A90 2.0 • 2021+
Introduced as an entry-level option, this variant brings a B48 2.0L turbo inline-4 engine generating 255hp, appealing to a broader range of enthusiasts.
A90 3.0 Power-Bump • 2021
This mid-cycle update re-tunes the B58 engine to 382hp, enhancing performance without altering the core essence of the original design.

Known issues by generation
The B58 3.0L inline-6 engine in the Supra A90, while predominantly robust, has some known issues, such as oil-filter-housing gasket and valve-cover-gasket leaks common around 60-80k miles. The ZF 8HP 8-speed automatic transmission requires mandatory fluid service at 60k miles, debunking the lifetime-fill marketing claim. For the 2023+ manual variant, it's essential to note that collectors prize this version for its driving experience, with any performance tuning diminishing collector value significantly.
Donation value by condition + generation
The appreciating value of the Toyota GR Supra A90 is evident, particularly among collectors who favor unmodified, stock conditions. Manual transmission variants command a substantial premium, often $5-15k over their automatic counterparts. Original paint colors like Renaissance Red and Nocturnal Black add another layer of value. Any modifications, such as ECU tuning or aftermarket performance parts, could risk a collector discount. Reliable valuation sources like Hagerty and Bring a Trailer are critical for establishing market trends, making qualified appraisals necessary for donations that exceed $5k in value.
