The Toyota sports car co-developed with BMW for its fifth generation was the Supra.
The fifth-generation Toyota Supra, sold primarily as the GR Supra and associated with the A90/A91 designations, was introduced in 2019 after a long absence from the market. Toyota and BMW collaborated on the underlying sports-car architecture, with the related BMW model being the fifth-generation Z4, also known by its G29 designation.
The partnership allowed both companies to share development costs and engineering resources while pursuing different driving experiences. The Supra and Z4 use related chassis components and powertrains, but Toyota tuned the Supra’s suspension, steering, software, and overall character to give it a distinct coupe-focused identity.
The collaboration does not apply to Toyota’s other listed sports cars. The GR86 was developed jointly with Subaru, while the Celica and MR2 were Toyota-led nameplates from earlier eras. Fans sometimes debate how “Toyota” the fifth-generation Supra feels because of its BMW hardware, but the model’s identity and final vehicle development remained a Toyota project.
