2023 TOYOTA GR SUPRA 3.0 6MT 

As soon as the current Supra arrived for the 2020 model year, calls for a manualtransmission version flooded Toyota's PR desk. Such a legendary nameplate at the top of the brand's Gazoo Racing-developed lineup-made available only with an automatic didn't sit right for many enthusiasts. Fortunately, Toyota heeded the call to save the manuals and introduced a stick-shift Supra for 2023. It's as good as we'd hoped.

Available as a no-cost option paired exclusively with the Supra's 382-hp turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six, the manual setup carries a starting price of $53,595.
