The Toyota Supra
is a type of sports car and grand tourer that was originally produced
by the Toyota Motor Company from the years of 1979 to 2002, making it
one of the older models with the longest value of production in the
Toyota line. The style was originally derived from one of its
predecessors, the Toyota Celica; however, it was specifically fashioned
to be both wider and longer so that it would be a sturdier car than the
Toyota Celica. However, the designers were able to maintain the original
speed in the vehicle, despite its larger size than its cousin, the
Toyota Celica.
During its 3rd generation starting in the middle of 1986, the Toyota Supra
MKIII, the Supra became its own model, no longer based off the previous
model, the Celica. As a result of this, there was no longer the prefix
"Celica" and became, simply the Supra. However, due to the similarity it
is often mistaken with the Toyota Celica and vice versa.
The Toyota Supra
also traces many of its roots back to the Toyota 2000GT with the
original insistence of the 2000GT being the motor used for the car.
During the first three generations of the line, a direct descendent
engine of the Toyota 2000GT, the M engine was used. All four of the Toyota Supra's
have sported and produced an incline 6 cylinder engine with most of the
engine specs being almost identical except for a few choice
technological innovations. The aspects of the interior have also been
quite similar through all four generations. The engine is relatively
powerful, but lacks a certain get up to the acceleration. However, this
is made up for in luxury as well as overall power.
