I fell in love at first sight when I saw the actual body color of the car

A morning meeting was held at A PIT Autobacs Shinonome on August 18, 2024, and any Toyota “GR” vehicle was welcome to participate. Among the “GR86,” “GR Yaris,” and “GR Corolla” that gathered one after another early in the morning, we would like to introduce the owner of a blue “GR Supra,” which he acquired under the influence of his brother, who drives a GR86.

This manual GR Supra was acquired as a new used car

I would like to introduce here “Taku”, the younger brother of “Yu” who drives a GR86. Influenced by his brother’s GR86, he had never driven a sports car before, but he took a leap of faith and got a GR Supra.

“At first I thought gray would be good, so I asked him to look for a manual-only car, and this blue one from a new-old car came up. It’s called Dawn Blue Metallic, which is a new color starting in 2022, but when I saw it in person, it was a much better color than in the catalog or the pictures, and I liked it so much I decided to buy it.

This is how the 2023 GR Supra RZ was delivered in May 2024. Mr. Taku has been driving a manual car for his job and has no problem with manual operation.

The unusual tan interior, which is available as an option, is stylish

“Taku” acquired a top-grade RZ with a rare tan leather interior that was available as an option when the car was new. This tan leather interior, along with the black leather interior, was a factory-installed option available only on the RZ and is a valuable feature that was only available on vehicles that were selected when the car was ordered new. Tan leather is used not only for the seats but also for the center console and steering wheel, making the interior quite gorgeous. This means that there is no need to install bucket seats or change the steering wheel, and the interior is highly satisfying from the start.

“I like the GR Supra because there seem to be quite a few of them and you don’t pass many of them on the street. I like it because you don’t see its sibling, the BMW Z4, on the streets very often.

Shortly, he plans to install a KUHL RACING body kit

Because he has just acquired the car, it was in almost stock condition on the day of the interview, but he says that his customization plans are already well underway.

“I’ve already ordered a KUHL RACING body kit, the same as my brother’s car, and I plan to install it next week. Since I use it for my daily commute, it will be a narrow body kit, and the wheels will probably remain stock for a while, but even so, the atmosphere should change considerably, so I’m looking forward to it!

By the way, the dealer where “Taku” requested the installation of Dawn Blue Metallic has not been able to install it before, so the fuel lid is currently being sent in for color matching, and the body kit is being painted based on it. A carbon fiber lid was currently installed as a substitute.
