This one is called the Manhart Supra GR 550. As the name suggests, it comes from the famous BMW M tuner and has 550 European horsepower. The power translates to 542 brake horsepower and 405 kilowatts, and the thrust is rated at 568 lb-ft (770 Nm) of torque.
But what did Manhart do to squeeze out another 207 hp (210 ps/155 kW) and 199 lb-ft (270 Nm) of torque from the B58 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline-six engine? Quite a few things, actually, including modifying the turbos, adding a carbon intake from ARMAspeed, a radiator kit with an aluminum charge pipe from Manhart and Wagner Tuning, and finishing off with an MHtronik powerbox (or a more traditional electronic control unit remap).
A stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and black quad tailpipes with a diameter of 4 inches (100 mm) allows the engine of the modified Toyota GR Supra to breathe more freely. Manhart says that they can be combined with tuner downpipes from HJS or sport downpipes with HJS 300-cell catalytic converters. The first option comes with TUV approval, the second does not. This also applies to the OPF delete stainless steel replacement pipes.

In addition to tampering with the engine, Manhart also gave the Toyota GR Supra a visual makeover courtesy of a body kit. The add-ons are made from carbon fiber and consist of side skirts, a front spoiler, a diffuser, a wing, taillight covers, side skirts, hood inserts, and mirror caps. Contributing to the car’s revised stance are the Concave One wheels. They measure 9×20 inches at the front and 10.5×20 inches at the rear, and have 255/30 and 295/25 tires, respectively, wrapped around them.
In addition, the modified sports coupe from the Japanese company is equipped with H&R wheel spacers and sits a little closer to the ground. The latter is made possible by H&R lowering springs or KW coilover suspension. The vehicle has a white overall look, some black accents and red inserts here and there. Manhart says that the brakes remain standard, but can be upgraded upon request. Customers can also opt for various customizations in the interior.
To unlock the extra oomph, you’re looking at €11,999 (or $13,403), while the downpipes and exhaust system cost another €2,136 ($2,386). Carbon extras add €13,500 ($15,080) to the price, wheels can top out at €3,000 ($3,350), and the KW coilover kit costs another €3,100 ($3,463). So, you’re looking at well over €33,000 ($36,860) for the whole thing, which is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price of a new GR Corolla in the U.S.
