BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra to Be Discontinued in 2026

TapTechNews May 29th news, according to the German automotive media Automobilwoche, the BMW Z4 and Toyota Supra will be discontinued in 2026. TapTechNews noted that earlier this year, there were rumors that BMW planned to discontinue the Z4 when the current model reaches the end of its life cycle.

The news didn't attract much attention initially, as the focus of the report was the plight faced by the Austrian car contract manufacturer MagnaSteyr. Due to the end or upcoming end of production of the BMW 5 Series, Jaguar E-Pace and I-Pace, as well as the FiskerOcean and other models they contract manufacture for, this company had to lay off 500 people.

AutoNews asked Toyota about the future of Supra, but the reply was There is no news to announce at present. However, when further pressed, Dave Christ, vice president of the Toyota North American Group, said, Our cooperation with BMW has been successful, and added, We are evaluating what will happen next.

Although Christ's statement is ambiguous, he said, If we want to build a car, we will always find a way, suggesting that Toyota may build a new Supra alone in the future.
