In-Game Description[]
Car Index (GT7)[]
In May 1993, the Supra, Toyota's GT car, was reborn into a new model.
Going against the original idea of the powerful, American macho-car, the engineers at Toyota wanted to create a new stoic and spartan impression with this new generation model. The long nose design was changed to a glamorous, masculine body, and while the width increased by 120 mm, the total length was reduced by 100 mm, giving the car proportions more ideal for a sportscar.
The interior is arranged simply in black, with 5 independent dashboard instruments, including an analogue clock.
The engine line-up was kept simple, offering a 2JZ model, 3 L DOHC inline-6 in twin-turbo or NA. The twin-turbo produces 276.1 BHP, while the NA produces 221.9 BHP. The twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE engine is often used as a base for tuning, and 493.1 BHP spec engines are common.
The transmission was available in a 5-speed MT, 4-speed AT, and a 6-speed MT. This transmission was developed in co-operation with Getrag of Germany, and was provided together with Bilstein suspension on spartan sports models such as the SZ-R, RZ, and RZ-S.
The suspension is the same 4-wheel double wishbone as in the previous model, but its geometry, as well as other specs, have been completely redesigned. With increased rigidity in various areas, and tuning of the dampers and bushes, controllability has been greatly improved.
Used Cars (GT7)[]
The Toyota Supra RZ—or '80 Supra'—is a masterpiece of Japanese FR sports car engineering. With the right tuning, its turbocharged straight-six 2JZ-GTE engine can pack a massive punch. This is one car that won't let you down, whether you're racing, dragging or drifting.

Stella[]
Oh, I've seen this car before, in a Fast & Furious film. It's a Toyota Supra. As the ancestor of the GR Supra, it has a special place in Toyota's sportscar history. And there's something really neat about its emblem, too. It was actually inspired by the art of Japanese calligraphy!
Kagurazaka[]
For a short period in the 1980s, at a time of strong economic growth, Japan was the world's biggest car maker. Becoming a leader in the automotive industry inspired a lot of thought about what kind of products they should make. It was a time of ambition and reflection. There was a lot of discussion of what it was that made Japanese automotive design distinctive. In any case, Japanese cars from around this time were embraced by people around the world. When I first saw the white flowing lines of the Celica, or the A80 Supra, on the cobblestoned streets of Europe, it was as mind-blowing and refreshing as when I once saw the giant tail fins of a Chrysler in Azabu in Tokyo.

Trivia[]
- This car also appears in GT Concept as an unplayable CPU car.
