The current Toyota GR Supra 3.0 weighs about 3,389 lbs with the six-speed manual and 3,411 lbs with the eight-speed automatic (2026 U.S. specifications). The 2.0-liter GR Supra sold from 2021 to 2024 was lighter, at 3,181 lbs. Older Supras vary by generation and engine, and the figures below are separated so you can compare like with like.
What Curb Weight Means
Curb weight is the weight of the car with standard equipment and all fluids, including a full tank of fuel, but without passengers or cargo. It is different from gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), which is the maximum the car is designed to carry in total, and from dry weight, which leaves out fuel and fluids. Manufacturers measure curb weight slightly differently, and magazine figures are often taken from a scale with a particular fuel level, so two sources can differ by a few dozen pounds for the same car.
When you compare Supras, check that each figure refers to the same market (U.S., Japan or Europe), the same engine, the same transmission and the same model year. Mixing a Japanese-market kilogram figure with a U.S. pound figure is the most common source of confusion.
GR Supra (A90) Curb Weight by Model
The fifth-generation Supra, known as the A90 or MkV, launched in the U.S. for 2020. Toyota’s 2021 press release gave the 3.0 model as roughly 3,400 lbs and the 2.0 as 3,181 lbs, describing the 2.0 as more than 200 pounds lighter. It also described a near 50:50 front-to-rear weight distribution for both engines.
| Model | Transmission | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|
| 2021 GR Supra 2.0 (255 hp) | Automatic | 3,181 lbs |
| 2021 GR Supra 3.0 (382 hp) | Automatic | About 3,400 lbs |
| 2026 GR Supra 3.0 | 6-speed manual | 3,389 lbs |
| 2026 GR Supra 3.0 Premium and Final Edition | 8-speed automatic | 3,411 lbs |
The 2.0 was dropped for the 2025 model year. Toyota said the manual transmission, added in 2023 for the 3.0, had shifted demand toward the more powerful engine. The 3.0 keeps its 382 hp and 368 lb-ft rating, and the manual is offered at no extra cost.
Earlier Generations
Published weights for older Supras depend on the market, engine and options, so treat them as approximate and check a factory spec sheet for a specific car.
- A80 (1993-2002): One source lists the 1993 twin-turbo model at 1,565 kg (about 3,450 lbs) and the naturally aspirated manual model at 1,456 kg (about 3,210 lbs). The twin-turbo car is heavier because of its added hardware, and a targa top adds roughly 18 kg. A buyer’s guide notes that the A80 was about 200 lb lighter than the A70 thanks to aluminum, magnesium and plastic components.
- A70 (1986-1992): By the same buyer’s guide estimate, around 200 lb heavier than the A80. Exact figures vary by engine (naturally aspirated or turbo) and body style.
- A40 and A60: Specifications differ widely between Japanese, U.S. and European versions of these early cars, so use a period road test or factory brochure for the exact car.
For the A80, the U.S. twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE was rated at 320 hp, while the naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE made 220 hp, according to the same buyer’s guide. Because weight changed in both directions across generations, a newer Supra is not automatically a heavier one.
What Changes a Supra’s Weight
- Transmission: On the current car, the automatic is about 22 lbs heavier than the manual.
- Engine: The 2.0 was more than 200 lbs lighter than the 3.0 because a four-cylinder is smaller than an inline-six.
- Trim and options: Premium trims and optional equipment add a little weight, as seen in the 3,411 lb listing for the Premium and Final Edition versus 3,389 lbs for the manual base car.
- Fuel: All current trims carry a 13.7-gallon fuel tank. Gasoline weighs roughly 6 lbs per gallon, so a full tank adds about 80 lbs to the dry figure.
- Body options on older cars: A removable targa roof on the A80 is an example of an option that changed the total.
Does Curb Weight Matter for a Buyer?
For the current Supra, the gap between trims is small enough that the choice should come down to transmission preference, price and features rather than 22 lbs. The bigger decision point in the used market is the 2.0 versus the 3.0. The 2.0 was lighter and had the lower rating of 255 hp and 295 lb-ft, while the 3.0 makes 382 hp and 368 lb-ft. Both were described by Toyota as having near 50:50 weight distribution.
Speed figures depend on the transmission as well as weight. Reported 0-60 mph times for the 2025 3.0 are 3.9 seconds with the automatic and 4.2 seconds with the manual, so the lighter manual is not the quicker car in a straight line.
If you are shopping for an older A80, the weight difference between a naturally aspirated and a twin-turbo car is larger than anything on the current lineup, and condition, modifications and originality will usually matter more than a few pounds.
How to Find the Weight of a Specific Car
- Check the manufacturer’s specification sheet or press release for the model year and market.
- Look at the certification label in the driver’s door jamb, which lists the GVWR and axle ratings. This is a rating, not the car’s actual weight.
- For a modified car, weigh it on a scale with the fuel level you want to record, since wheels, seats, exhausts and other parts change the total.
- Write down the fuel level, options and whether the driver was aboard, so the number can be compared later.
Practical Uses of the Number
- Towing and hauling: Do not assume a Supra can tow. Check the owner’s manual for any towing rating before attaching anything.
- Tires and brakes: Heavier cars wear tires and brake pads faster under hard driving, so weight is one input in how often you replace them.
- Trailers and car carriers: If you plan to transport a Supra, use its curb weight plus any cargo, and compare the total with the carrier’s rated capacity.
