The GR Supra rides on a new jointly developed sports car platform by Toyota and BMW, with a short wheelbase, wide track, and low centre of gravity, that also underpins the G29 BMW Z4.[10][11] Initially, BMW considered using a pre-existing platform of their own to underpin the new Supra, to which chief engineer Tada-san declined.[12] Both cars are manufactured at the Magna Steyr plant in Graz, Austria.[13]
The fifth generation Supra uses BMW model code conventions, designated as a J29 series with DB model codes. However, Toyota used the "A90" and "A91" code for promotional and marketing materials for the fifth generation Supra to maintain continuity from previous Supra generations.[1][2][14]
