Toyota Donates Last GR Supra MkV to Benefit Charity at Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale

Barrett-Jackson and Reach Out WorldWide (ROWW) announced today that Toyota North America has donated the last-ever Toyota GR Supra MkV Final Edition to ROWW, to be auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson 2027 Scottsdale Auction, Jan. 23-31, at WestWorld of Scottsdale. The entire hammer price from the sale of this vehicle will directly benefit the organization, which deploys agile volunteer teams of first responders to assist in the aftermath of natural disasters around the world. 

Before crossing the auction block in January, car enthusiasts will have multiple opportunities to view this historic vehicle, signed by Akio Toyoda and featuring a special VIN, starting with the upcoming Barrett-Jackson 2026 Las Vegas Auction, Sept. 10-12 in the West Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

This monumental auction marks a full-circle moment for the automotive community. In January 2019, Barrett-Jackson hosted the charity auction of the first all-new global production MkV GR Supra for the Bob Woodruff Foundation. Now, Barrett-Jackson is ready to promote and enhance this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to eclipse that record-setting figure for a vital global cause.

“Reach Out WorldWide was built on a passion for helping those in need, started by my brother Paul in 2010 and has continued growing thanks to our great team, exceptional volunteers and the support of individuals and companies around the world,” said Cody Walker, CEO of Reach Out WorldWide and founder of FuelFest, the ultimate automotive lifestyle, music and show experience. “We are so grateful to Toyota for donating the final MkV GR Supra to ROWW, which will hopefully break the previous MkV sales record and make a massive difference for communities facing disaster.”

“We began this incredible chapter with Toyota back in 2019 when we auctioned the very first 2020 Supra for an unforgettable $2.1 million, so it is incredibly meaningful to bookend that history on our Scottsdale block with this final production unit,” said Craig Jackson, chairman and CEO of Barrett-Jackson. “Barrett-Jackson has a long, storied tradition of driving immense generosity for charitable causes. We are fully prepared to rally the collector car community this January to challenge that previous record and generate substantial, life-changing support for Reach Out WorldWide.”

The 2026 GR Supra MkV Final Edition is a highly collectible, 382-horsepower masterpiece, featuring a six-speed manual transmission and unique, factory-exclusive specifications:

  • Customized Serial Number: Features a bespoke, commemorative VIN ending in “99999.”
  • Morizo Signature: Signed by Toyota legend and former CEO, Akio “Morizo” Toyoda.
  • Exclusive Aesthetic and Aero: GT4 Style Pack with matte-finish and red trim; striking one-of-one Phantom Gray paint; ducktail carbon fiber rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, high front spats for additional balance and downforce.
  • Suspension and Grip: Final Edition features refined differential control and exclusive control maps to help improve traction; larger Brembo brake discs for better stopping performance; revised front and rear camber angle, a stronger front stabilizer bar and retuned shocks to improve cornering; and confidence is added with strengthened suspension mounts and a stronger under-body brace.
  • Sport Interior: Filled with leather, Alcantara, red stitching and red highlights provide a driver-focused environment.
  • Track Driving: Included is a complimentary 1-year membership to the National Auto Sport Association (NASA), which includes a free High Performance Driving Event (HPDE) and discounted admission to NASA sanctioned events.

The Walker family has a long history with Barrett-Jackson. Three vehicles — a Civic Type R (in 2021) and two custom Ford Mustangs (in 2019) — were sold by Barrett-Jackson to benefit ROWW; and in 2020, Barrett-Jackson auctioned off select vehicles from Paul Walker’s personal collection. Additionally, Barrett-Jackson supports FuelFest, the Walker-led global automotive culture phenomenon, which has held nine of its scheduled 11 events in 2026 thus far, and features the Toyota GR lineup as the Official Performance Vehicle Lineup.

Of note, since 2018, FuelFest has raised more than $1 million for ROWW.
