The Toyota Supra is a legendary sports car that has appeared in action movies like The Fast and the Furious, as well as racing video games like Gran Turismo. Toyota, the manufacturer of the Supra, produced the car between 1979 and 2002. Initially, the Supra was the Celica Supra, a larger derivative of the Toyota Celica. In 1986, seven years after production, the Supra was spun off from the Celica to become its own model, simply the “Toyota Supra”.
The Supra’s styling is obviously derived from the Celica, and also from the older 2000GT that was made in the late 1960s. The front-engined Supra had its own logo which has changed over the years. Initially, the logo was similar to that of the Celica, but now it is very sporty, aggressive and distinctive, reflecting the characteristics of the car. There have been numerous rumors in recent years about the possible revival of the Supra with the introduction of a Mark V. Many online and print publications claimed that the car would be released in 2008, but Toyota said this was not true.
The last generation before the car was discontinued in 2002 was the MK 4 Supra. Full production of the MK 4 began in 1993, with the car being much more refined compared to previous generations and higher in performance. . The car’s body was much more rounded than previous variations, and the engines were changed. The Japan-based model had an engine that was capable of producing over two hundred and seventy horsepower. This Japanese model could also go from zero to sixty miles per hour in the average four seconds.
