Toyota to reproduce spare parts for A70, A80 Supra

While the GR Supra continues to be one of the hottest sports cars on the market, Toyota has clearly not forgotten the legions of past Supra owners. In the run up to the Tokyo Auto Salon, the company announced it will remanufacture parts for the A70 and A80 models under the GR Heritage Parts programme, offering them both in Japan as well as in export markets.

The project will be building parts that are no longer available, such as the propeller shaft, door handles, fuel sender gauge, weatherstrips and front emblems for the A70, as well as the headlights, door handles and brake booster for the A80.

Best of all, they will be offered for sale as genuine Toyota parts, and that means they will be able to be purchased from Toyota dealers just like any other spare part.

Toyota will be displaying some of the components at the Tokyo Auto Salon, with details on the specific components and their availability will be announced at a later date. Get your chequebooks ready…

    Toyota realised how such a huge failure that A90 Supra has become amongst their loyal Supra fans that held onto their legacy models, they are forced to restart spare parts production for these long out of production cars. They might as well scrap the A90 Supra and restart A80 production once again.

    • To Toyota fansies, A90 is a heresy and just another Beemer

    • Considering that the A90 has a 1 year waiting list in Malaysia as well Australia, and the fact that Magna Steyr is already producing an estimated 10k units per year, I think the the guys at Toyota are thinking anything but a failure but how to ramp up production. You should probably speak to someone that has driven or (if they’re lucky) owns an A90 before you jump to conclusions. Good on Toyota! Will be great to see the supra enthusiasts and all the generations of the Supra back on the road!

      • If you ever tried driving one, it drives like a BMW. Haha! But all in all, Toyota are only doing this to keep the Supra hype train going. The A90 ain’t it and it doesn’t help they are produced by a bespoke coach builder more used to low volume outputs, plus they had to share stocks with the Z4 originator. Good job? Err more like they had no choice or new Supra will die an ignominious death.

        • Don’t know if you’ve heard, but a vast majority of motoring journals have praised the existence of the car. Personally, I have driven one, I wont argue there, the engine is classic BMW, but the handling is what BMW’s should feel like but lets face it, the modern cars they make don’t. So well done Toyota for showing BMW how to be BMW. Aston Martin JV’d with Mercedes for parts and engine supply to bring the Vantage. The current Miata and the Fiat 124 sypder. The Lambo Urus and the Audi A8. The 86 and BRZ and so on. You make it sound like co development is a bad thing. Sorry to burst your bubble, some fantastic cars have come from companies working together.

            It drives like a Vios, that’s how a BMW should drive too.

    • I think it is because of the launch of the new A90 Supra that causes the hype, and so much stories of the previous Supra have been told over the last 1 year because of this.. Enthusiast are now looking for used Supra to relate to as the new one is abit costly..

      Thanks to the new A90 Supra launch that created awareness among enthusiast. If not, you will see older Supras ended at the junk yard instead. Toyota realized there is a demand for previous Supra parts as ppl are restoring.

        Considering the costlier new Supra, the older ones makes much more financial sense despite being older and more maintenance friendly.

      Define ‘many’. Only 12,056 A80 were sold during it’s entire lifetime in the US. You shouldnt take 2fast2furious too serious…
