#savethemanual
Highly coveted by Toyota-lovers and car-enthusiasts alike, the Supra has long been an icon in automotive history. As has the manual transmission — with many calling it the essence of sports cars. With this in mind, Toyota has joined the #savethemanual campaign, introducing the 2023 Supra GR with a manual transmission.
Re-introduced in 2019, the Supra GR was a fresh take on the legendary Supra sports car. Its arrival was highly anticipated by enthusiasts, especially those looking to scratch their Fast and Furious itch. Much to their dismay, however, it was only available with an automatic transmission.
The 2019 Supra GR still sold well, but fans were left hoping for more from Toyota. Now in 2022, Toyota has heard its fans and is planning on delivering what they have always wanted — a six-speed manual transmission Supra GR.
Available as an option on the 2023 Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium, the six-speed intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) will provide smooth shifting and ultimate control. The iMT was custom-engineered for the Supra GR by Toyota’s Gazoo Racing Division. It will be paired with the Supra GR’s 3.0-litre six-cylinder engine, delivering 382-horsepower.
An intelligent Manual Transmission
The iMT takes the efficiency of automatic transmissions and combines it flawlessly with everything we love about manual transmissions. Specially designed software allows the iMT to provide a sporty experience each and every time you get behind the wheel.
With this software, the iMT optimizes engine torque during upshifts for precision gear changes when the clutch is engaged. When downshifting, the iMT software fine-tunes engine revs for perfectly timed downshifts and reliable performance.
The best part about iMT? Owners of the Supra GR will be free turn it off in Sport Mode for a more visceral experience. This is perfect for when you really want to get your Brian Spillner act going in full effect.

The amount of control and feel you get out of a manual transmission is astounding and oodles of fun. Many car enthusiasts describe it as being “truly connected” to the vehicle and it makes sense.
A shifter acts as an extension of your arm as you row through the gears. As you pump the clutch, your leg feels as if it intertwines with the mechanical workings of the vehicle. All of this provides an unmatched feeling of connection with the vehicle — of being one.
