The German tuning company, based in Wuppertal, has a history of working with the GR Supra, with their earliest projects on the model dating back to 2020. This latest iteration is equipped with the GR 550 tuning kit, which brings the car’s power output to an impressive 405 kW and 770 N.m of torque, a substantial increase over the standard 285 kW and 500 N.m.

Achieving this power boost involved several key modifications. Manhart replaced the standard turbocharger with a more potent unit and added a carbon fibre intake system from ARMAspeed. Cooling efficiency is enhanced with a specialized radiator kit, while the MHtronic module optimizes engine performance. The exhaust system, crafted from stainless steel by FI Exhaust, can be further customized with optional downpipes for those seeking even more aggressive sound and performance.

Visually, the GR Supra stands out with an extensive MANHART carbon fibre body kit. This kit includes a front spoiler, bonnet inserts, mirror caps, and side skirts. At the rear, a large wing, diffuser, and taillight covers further enhance the car’s aggressive appearance. A MANHART trim set with red accents provides a striking contrast against the vehicle’s black-and-white colour scheme.

The Supra’s stance is widened with 20-inch Concave One alloy wheels, paired with spacers for added stability. According to Manhart, Handling is sharpened through a choice of H&R springs or a KW coilover suspension system, which also lowers the car for improved cornering dynamics.

While the interior remains untouched in this particular build, Manhart offers personalization options for those who desire a more bespoke cabin experience. This package turns the already potent Toyota GR Supra into a true performance machine with both the looks and power to match.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
