Car Index (GT7)[]
Using the popular Celica (which made its debut in 1981) as the foundation, Toyota decided to embark on making a true sports car that would challenge the best examples from Europe. And after much research and development work, the company introduced the Supra in 1986.
Built on the Soarer's rear-drive platform, the Supra featured a double-wishbone suspension based on that of the 2000GT-4 performance car. The ride quality was tuned more toward the mild side to ensure a smooth ride during normal driving conditions, but when confronted by meandering mountain roads, the Supra delivered thanks to its rigid body structure and flawless balance.
The new Toyota sports car was large for a coupe, measuring 181.8 inches long, 66.5 inches wide, and 51.5 inches high. It initially came powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that produced 227 BHP, with a twin-turbocharged 2.0-liter inline-4 (182 BHP) and normally-aspirated versions added later (104 BHP and 138 BHP). But the most noteworthy Supra model of this vintage was the 3.0GT Turbo A, which appeared in 1988. This model became the foundation for a race car than competed in the Japan National Touring Car Series. It used a 3.0-liter turbo engine that produced 266 BHP.
In 1990, this power plant was replaced by the 1JZ-GTE in the 2.5GT Twin Turbo R. The new engine cranked out 276 BHP, which was the maximum allowed for JDM cars at that time.

Well I'll be! This isn't just any Supra... It was built to excel at motorsport competitions, and is what is known as a 'homologation model'. Toyota's aim with this car was to have it claim the Group A title at the Japanese Touring Car Championship. In order to ensure it was battle-ready, it was given various mechanical upgrades. These upgrades included a turbine and intercooler, as well as parts for naturally-aspirated and turbocharged engines. As a result, the Turbo A could output 29.6 BHP more power than its base model. With production capped at 500 units, the homologation model sold out in the blink of an eye. Aside from the wheel color and bumper shape, it doesn't look too different from its forebear. However, those in the know will instantly recognize its worth, I'm sure!
