The Toyota Castrol Supra GT '96 is a Race car produced by Toyota. It so far appeared only in the first two games of the Gran Turismo series.

Acquisition

GT1

This car can be purchased in the special section of the Toyota Dealerships for 500.000 Credits. The car is available in two different color schemes where one is the usual green & white, while the other has some of the stripes colored blue. A Black version of this car is also available as a prize for winning the Grand Valley 300km Endurance Race.

GT2

This car can be won by winning the first race of the Euro League, located on Apricot Hill Raceway. Unlike in GT1, the car is not available with the blue stripes, possibly for keeping the car closer to its real life counterpart. Even the black version of this car is removed from the game.

Trivia

• Although the white & blue stripes color scheme of this car was removed in GT2, it still has that color scheme in the Demo versions of the game, where this car is playable through cheat codes.
• This is so far the only race car with a special colored counterpart in the Gran Turismo series.
