Toyota is donating the final fifth-generation GR Supra to Yahoo Autos, the disaster-relief organization founded by Paul Walker. The one-of-one car will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson's Scottsdale event in January 2027, with all proceeds going to the charity. The special Final Edition features a commemorative VIN ending in 99999, Phantom Gray paint, a six-speed manual transmission, and a 382-horsepower turbocharged engine.
Reach Out WorldWide, founded by Walker after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, deploys doctors, nurses, and paramedics to disaster-stricken communities. Organizers hope this auction will surpass the 2019 record of $2.1 million raised when the first global-production MkV Supra sold at charity. Cody Walker, the charity's CEO and Paul's brother, said the sale could "make a massive difference for communities facing disaster."
The Final Supra: One-of-One Specs and Scarcity
This Final Edition Supra is the last car off the production line in March 2026. Toyota built only 1,300 Final Edition units for North America, making this one truly rare. The car carries Toyota president Akio Toyoda's signature and includes larger Brembo brakes and specially tuned suspension alongside the manual transmission and turbocharged inline-six engine.
Paul Walker's Legacy of Disaster Relief
Reach Out WorldWide was born in 2010 when Paul Walker responded to the Haiti earthquake by assembling volunteer first responders. Since then, ROWW has deployed doctors, nurses, paramedics, and other responders to communities devastated by natural disasters worldwide. The charity's mission reflects Walker's commitment to helping people in their darkest moments.
How Toyota Developed the GR Supra with BMW
The fifth-generation GR Supra was built by Magna Steyr in Austria and shares its foundation with the BMW Z4. Toyota and BMW jointly developed the chassis, and BMW supplied the 3.0-liter turbocharged straight-six engine that produces 382 horsepower. This partnership gave the Supra modern performance without breaking Toyota's budget constraints for the sports car market.
Setting the Bar: The 2019 Record and 2027 Hopes
When the first global-production MkV Supra went to auction in 2019, it raised $2.1 million for charity. Cody Walker said organizers believe this final Supra can beat that record and generate even more help for disaster victims. The car will preview at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction in 2026 before the Scottsdale hammer falls January 23–31, 2027.
