I know you sneeze and $140k pops out of your pocket but it's a high entry price for a car you can't drive in many situations

Is there ever a situation where the car can be driven?

For taking your mistress up to the cabin in Whistler during the summer when your wife is having a 'girls weekend' in New York?

That supra looks amazing. It says limited to just 100.. so I guess it's just Toyota jerking us around again?

Toyota Supra Final Edition

-sweet specs for the A90 Final Edition:

https://global.toyota/en/newsroom/toyota/41894560.html

Powertrain
The intake air path has been revised, and a low-back-pressure catalyst has been adopted to reduce pressure loss. Engine control has been optimized accordingly, boosting output from 285 kW (387 PS) to 320 kW (435 PS) and torque from 500 N・m (51.0 kgf/m) to 570 N・m (58.1 kgf/m) for greater acceleration and response.

A baffle plate has been added to the engine oil pan to prevent uneven oil distribution when encountering the high g-forces associated with improved cornering performance.
Cooling performance has been enhanced in line with the improved engine performance by strengthening the radiator cooling fan, adding a sub-radiator, and enlarging the differential gear cover cooling fins.
In line with a new chassis setting, active differential control has been optimized to reduce understeer during cornering and improve handling.
An Akrapovič titanium muffler has been adopted, resulting in a powerful engine sound.


Brakes
Up front, 19-inch Brembo brakes with high μ (coefficient of friction) brake pads enhance braking performance, while drilled floating discs in both the front and rear ensure excellent braking power even during sports driving.
Stainless steel mesh brake hoses are used to reduce pressure transmission loss due to hose expansion during braking, maximizing the performance of the strengthened brake system.
Body and suspension

The dampening-adjustable KW suspension, which is the same as that found on the GR Supra GT4, features 16 rebound stages and 12 compression stages for accommodating a variety of driving conditions, and the front and rear stabilizers have been strengthened to improve limit-pushing performance.
Strengthened rubber bushings for the front lower arms, pillow ball joints on the front control arms, and the same rigid aluminum mount for the rear subframe found on the GR Supra GT4 improve the sense of suspension―body integration, thus conveying road information better and contributing to precise handling.
A strengthened front-cowl brace and added front-underfloor brace combine with a strengthened rear-underfloor brace structure and a strengthened interior luggage crossbar to increase body rigidity, improve the sense of directness and grip, and enhance controllability.
In line with the model's evolutionary changes, electric power steering (EPS) control has been optimized to deliver a more direct steering sensation and improved control performance.
The camber angle of the front and rear wheels has been revised to increase grip for improved cornering stability.


Tires and wheels

The adopted Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 high-grip tires are 10% wider than the tires on the conventional Supra, further improving cornering stability and limit-pushing performance.
The lightweight 19-inch front and 20-inch rear wheels are engraved with the TGR logo.

Exterior

Aerodynamic performance was entrusted to GR Supra GT4 development leader TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Europe which applied its know-how built up by competing in motorsports and used its proprietary wind tunnel testing facility for repeated testing.

A carbon-fiber front spoiler, front canards, and front center flap team up with a carbon-fiber swan-neck rear wing reminiscent of that on the GR Supra GT4 to optimize front and rear aerodynamic balance, downforce, and drag, improving road contact and handling performance.
An added carbon-fiber hood duct features a removable inner duct for improved cooling performance when removed.


Interior

"RECARO Podium CF" carbon-fiber full-bucket seats with Alcantara[emoji2400]-covered seat pads firmly hold the body to support accurate driving even when the driver is subjected to g-forces that can increase due to improved driving performance. Also, the driver's seat has been done in red to accentuate the driver-oriented design of the cockpit.
The steering wheel, door trim, center console kneepad, center armrest, shift knob boot, and the center portion of the instrument panel are covered in Alcantara[emoji2400].
Also, red seatbelts and exclusive carbon-fiber scuff plates enhance the exclusivity of this limited-edition model.

Upping the power and torque by that much has to come from more than just the intake, cooling, and exhaust, right? I find it hard to believe that BMW / Toyota didn't mess with upping the boost.

I was wondering if you'd even have to wait to import one of these. It's just a model designation, still the same Supra... could be a grey area.

Even ICBC doesn't differentiate between some models of cars when it's just a 'trim package'

Doesn't matter. Unless it was sold as an NA car then you're out of luck. Gotta protect those domestic dealers.

The only loop hole is the factory delivery option, and of course you can buy cars in the US as long as they aren't on the naughty list like most Lotus.
