Model profile
Model history and generations
Model history and generations
Enthusiasts count five generations, but the import-relevant one is the A90/A91, on sale in the US from the 2020 model year.
Powertrain and equipment
Engines, drivetrain and trims
Engines and drivetrain
Two engines were sold in the US, both BMW-sourced turbocharged units shared with the Z4. The 2.0-litre B48 four-cylinder produces around 255 hp; the headline 3.0-litre B58 straight-six makes roughly 335 hp in 2020 cars and about 382 hp from 2021 onward after a hardware revision.
Which trim makes sense
The Supra is offered only as a two-seat fastback coupe — no convertible, no 2+2. US trim names run 2.0, 3.0 and 3.0 Premium, the Premium adding a larger head-up display, JBL audio, wireless charging and upgraded trim.

Who benefits from importing
Import a used Supra from the USA if you want a specific combination — a manual 3.0 in a particular colour, or a well-kept early car — that the German market simply is not offering.

Pre-purchase review
Model-specific inspection points
Known weak points and maintenance
Supra reliability is generally strong, helped by the proven BMW powertrain. Owners do report a handful of recurring items: fuel-pump and high-pressure fuel-system recalls affected some early cars, so confirm recall work was completed by VIN.
Germany and Europe
Differences, adaptation and registration
US and EU spec compared
Mechanically the US and European Supra are close, but the details that matter for import are lighting and telematics.
TÜV, modifications and registration
US-market headlights use the FMVSS/SAE beam pattern, which differs from the ECE pattern required in the EU, so they may need adjustment or replacement with ECE-compliant units for registration.
USCar Trader services
Inspection, purchase processing and escrow
As a buyer based in Germany, you do not have to inspect the vehicle yourself in the United States or Canada. Within the agreed scope, USCar Trader can coordinate document review, a separately commissioned on-site inspection and purchase processing.
- Vehicle profile and history: The profile can show the VIN, US title status and available history records. No data source guarantees that every earlier event was reported.
- Optional CARFAX report: Additional reported maintenance or service entries can be included. The report is not a complete service book or proof of every interval.
- On-site inspection / USCT AutoCheck: USCar Trader can arrange a separately booked vehicle inspection. Agreed visible and accessible areas are documented. Road or functional tests require suitable access and seller approval; the visual review is not a lift inspection or workshop diagnosis.
- Purchase processing and escrow: After approval, USCar Trader can coordinate seller contact, negotiation, contract and the escrow and import service. Fees, payment route and responsibilities are recorded in advance.
- Recalls: Open safety recalls can be checked by VIN through the NHTSA recall search; they do not describe overall condition.
Covered inspection points are agreed in advance. An on-site inspection records condition at the appointment and is not a guarantee.
Next step: Before commissioning, USCar Trader and the customer agree which document, history, inspection and transaction checks suit the vehicle and are included in the service. This records what was actually checked.

Questions and answers
Common questions about importing this model
Is the US Toyota Supra the same as the European one?
Mechanically almost identical — both use the BMW-sourced engines and are built in Graz. The differences are lighting, instrumentation units and the absence of EU-specific systems, all handled during import.
Can I import a manual GR Supra?
Yes. The six-speed manual is available on the 3.0 from the 2023 model year, and the US used market is a good source for it.
Does this vehicle automatically qualify for a 0% import-duty rate?
No, not automatically. A 0% EU import-duty rate may be available for a vehicle covered by Regulation (EU) 2026/1455 that has US origin and is imported directly into the EU. CETA may apply to a vehicle with preferential Canadian origin. Whether the requirements are met is assessed for the individual case. Please contact USCar Trader before purchase; we review the possible duty benefit and provide non-binding support. Import VAT and other costs are assessed separately.
How is import VAT treated when importing a Toyota Supra?
Import VAT and other taxes or costs are assessed separately under the applicable rules and the circumstances of the individual case. A blanket answer for every vehicle would not be reliable.
How long does the import take?
From purchase to German registration typically a couple of months, driven mainly by ocean-freight scheduling and the TÜV appointment.
Are parts and servicing a problem in Germany?
No. The powertrain shares components with the BMW Z4, so specialist and dealer support is widely available.
What mileage should I expect?
Anything from very low weekend-car readings to moderate. History and condition matter more than the number alone.
Do you buy the car and mark it up?
No. USCar Trader is a broker; we charge a service fee and add no margin on the vehicle.
