Toyota Gazoo Racing says that it will reproduce additional spare parts for the A70* and A80*2 Supra under its GR Heritage Parts Project. Toyota will sell them starting in Japan and then in North America, Europe, and other overseas countries.
“In support of customers who wish to continue driving older vehicles that are full of memories and that they truly love, the project reproduces spare parts that have been discontinued, and sells them as genuine parts. For the A70 and A80 Supra, this will be the first addition since spare parts were announced in 2020,” Toyota said in a release.
Starting 1 July, and when subsequent items are complete, Toyota will gradually make reproduced parts available for purchase at Toyota dealers, in the same way as genuine parts. “However, the reproduced parts will be limited production with the special cooperation of our suppliers,” Toyota said. “For this reason, after their production periods have ended, each reproduced part will only be available for purchase for as long as stocks last*3. Details such as part numbers and production periods will be published on the TOYOTA GAZOO Racing website*4 from 1 July beginning with the parts that are ready.
