The six-speed manual A91 Supra has become one of the most sought-after modern sports cars on the secondary market.
While most new sports cars depreciate the moment they leave the dealership, the manual-transmission Toyota GR Supra is doing something unusual: it's appreciating.
The Numbers
Since its introduction as a 2023 model year, the manual GR Supra has seen steady price appreciation on the secondary market:
▸2023 Manual 3.0 Premium: Up 12% from original MSRP
▸2024 A91-MT Edition: Up 18% (limited to 600 units)
▸2025 Final Edition Manual: Already trading at 25% above MSRP
Why It's Happening
Three factors are driving this trend:
1.Scarcity: Toyota only offered the manual in the 3.0-liter inline-six configuration, and take rates were lower than expected (roughly 30% of production)
2.Enthusiast demand: The Supra's B58 engine and ZF manual are widely regarded as one of the best powertrain combinations available today
3.End-of-life announcement: Toyota has confirmed the current-generation Supra will end production in late 2026, with no direct replacement announced
Comparison to Similar Cars
The manual Supra's appreciation trajectory mirrors other limited-production manual sports cars:
▸BMW M2 Competition (manual): +15% over 3 years
▸Porsche Cayman GT4 (981): +30% over 5 years
▸Civic Type R (FK8): +20% over 4 years
Our Take
If you can find a well-optioned manual GR Supra — particularly in a desirable color like Renaissance Red or Phantom Matte Gray — it's worth considering as both a driver and a hold. The combination of Toyota/BMW reliability, genuine driving engagement, and increasing scarcity makes this one of the best modern collector car bets under $60K.
