A modified 2022 Toyota GR Supra 3.0 Premium is being offered for sale, presenting a comprehensively upgraded example of the turbocharged Japanese sports car. The vehicle, finished in Nitro Yellow over a black leather interior, is now showing 25,000 miles and comes with a clean Carfax report, modification records, and a dynamometer test report.
The car was originally registered in Massachusetts before being acquired by the current seller in 2024. Under their ownership, the vehicle underwent substantial mechanical work carried out by The Shop CT of Stratford, Connecticut. The build focused on extracting significantly more performance from the 3.0-liter B58B30 inline-six engine, with the addition of CP-Carrillo pistons and heavy-duty wrist pins, Manley Performance connecting rods, and ARP head studs. The turbocharging system was upgraded with a Pure Turbos Pure900 turbocharger, a Verus Engineering heat shield, an FTP Motorsport charge pipe, and a VRSF downpipe without an integrated catalyst, which is paired with an RK Titanium single-outlet exhaust system.
Supporting modifications include a Visconti Tuning sequential port fuel injection kit, a MOTIV Motorsport ReFlex+ port injection controller, a Precision Raceworks 800-lph low-pressure fuel pump, and Injector Dynamics 1,050cc fuel injectors. The induction and cooling systems were also addressed with a Wagner Tuning intake manifold, an MST Performance cold-air intake, a CSF Race heat exchanger, and CSF Race auxiliary radiators. The engine control unit was unlocked and tuned via the MHD Tuning mobile app, with the results documented in a dynamometer test report available in the listing gallery.
Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a replacement eight-speed automatic gearbox that was modified with a Pure Drivetrain Solutions “Stage 1” upgrade package, including a billet torque converter stator. The transmission also received an xAutomotive xHP “Stage 3” control unit tune. The car retains its Adaptive Variable Sport suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with Supra-branded four-piston Brembo front calipers.
Exterior details include a double-bubble roof panel, a rear diffuser, six-lens auto-leveling LED headlights with automatic high beams, LED taillights, front and rear parking sensors, and heated auto-folding side mirrors. The seller notes that paint protection film has been applied to the front bumper cover, hood, sides, and carbon-fiber mirror caps, while a ceramic coating has been applied to the exterior. The 19-inch forged-aluminum front wheels are wrapped in 275/35 Michelin tires, while the 17-inch Weld Racing rear wheels wear 305/45 Mickey Thompson tires. The removed rear wheels are included in the sale.
Inside, the cabin features heated and power-adjustable sport seats upholstered in black leather, carbon-fiber trim accents, keyless entry, a 12-speaker JBL HiFi sound system, and an 8.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation and Apple CarPlay connectivity. The leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel includes paddle shifters and fronts a digital gauge cluster and a full-color head-up display. The Driver Assist Package adds dynamic radar cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and emergency braking.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or other reported damage. Approximately 13,000 of the 25,000 miles were added under current ownership. The car is being offered with a Connecticut title in the name of the seller’s mother, and there is currently a lien on the vehicle that must be paid off before the title can be transferred to the new owner.
