From the MKI - MKIV Toyota's development of the supra has been respected by car enthusiasts world wide. Although future development of the Supra has been shifted due to gas emissions of their regulations, their Luxury brand Lexus has taken over with the LF-A 2010 (http://www.lexus.com/LFA/)and Toyota responding in the coming year of 2011 with the FT86.
I myself enjoy looking at any Supra I see in aww as I would look at a Rolls Royce or Enzo rolling down the street. It's a simple car with the Japanese construction that we all know and love. The supra had its best years with the Mark IV edition which was produced from 1993-1998 in the US and till 2002 in Japan, powered with an Inline 6 engine (2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE) with an option N/A or Twin Turbo.
Reaching to a top speed of about 174 mph with horsepower gains around 320 bhp, this was a monster in the line of production cars during its time as well as now. In todays market you can see how strong the ownership of a Supra has grown in which it retains its value at a great value just as the R34 Skyline. The respect for this car has continued to grow year by year by car magazines as well as tuners world wide. With magazines such as Import Tuner, Super Street, and HIN; with also the well known tuning companies in Japan Top Secret and Mines.
The most famous designs of this car have come from Top Secret's V12 Monster, ABFLUG's S-900, Veilside's Fortune 03', Mine's Supra, Charge Speed's Supra, TRD's Rare 3000gt (pictured above) and many more by other tuners. BPU upgrades are very well recommended to unleash this beasts true power thats being restricted, but even without that a clean stock supra will be enough to give you a thrill ride.
Ever since the Toyota 2000gt this supra might be the last super car branded by the Toyota emblem, well last one that consumes gasoline at a high rate.
