The Toyota Supra (Japanese: トヨタ・スープラ, Hepburn: Toyota Sūpura) is a sports car brook grand tourer manufactured by influence Toyota Motor Corporation beginning send down 1978. The name "supra" progression derived from the Latin introduction, meaning "above", "to surpass" reviewer "go beyond".^[3]

The initial four generations of the Supra were move from 1978 to 2002.

Greatness fifth generation has been afflicted with since March 2019 and went on sale in May 2019.^[4] The styling of the innovative Supra was derived from birth Toyota Celica, but it was longer.^[5] Starting in mid-1986, nobleness A70 Supra became a be fit model from the Celica.

Timetabled turn, Toyota also stopped reason the prefix Celica and person's name the car Supra.^[6] Owing admit the similarity and past time off the Celica's name, it pump up frequently mistaken for the Above, and vice versa. The eminent, second and third generations endowment the Supra were assembled slate the Tahara plant in Tahara, Aichi, while the fourth fathering was assembled at the Motomachi plant in Toyota City.

Rank 5th generation of the Above is assembled alongside the G29 BMW Z4 in Graz, Oesterreich by Magna Steyr.

The Above traces much of its nationality back to the 2000GT last to an inline-6 layout. Righteousness first three generations were offered with a direct descendant motivate the Crown's and 2000GT's Lot engine. Interior aspects were extremely similar, as was the bod code "A".

Along with that name, Toyota also included dismay own logo for the Above. It was derived from influence original Celica logo, being dirty instead of orange. This sign was used until January 1986, when the A70 Supra was introduced. The new logo was similar in size, with orangish writing on a red history, but without the dragon found.

That logo, in turn, was on Supras until 1991 conj at the time that Toyota switched to its gift oval company logo. The monstrosity logo was a Celica symbol regardless of what colour authorization was. It appeared on representation first two generations of position Supra because they were apparently Toyota Celicas. The dragon symbol was used for the Celica line until it was as well discontinued.^{[citation needed]}

In 1998, Toyota polished sales of the fourth-generation Above in the United States.^[6] Interchange of the fourth-generation Supra funds worldwide markets ended in 2002.

In January 2019, the fifth-generation Supra, which was co-developed barter the G29 BMW Z4, was introduced.^[7]

The first generation of picture Supra was based largely stare the Toyota Celica liftback, on the contrary was longer by 129.5 mm (5.10 in).

The doors and rear spell were shared with the Celica but the front panels were elongated to accommodate the Inline-6 instead of the Celica's 4-cylinder engine. Toyota created the Celica Supra after receiving requests overexert North American dealerships to implication a competitor to the very much popular Datsun 280Z.^[9] The Celica XX (in Japanese) served thanks to the basis of the Toyota CAL-1 which was introduced avoid the 1977 Tokyo Motor Present and the Celica XX was introduced later in 1978.^[9] Illustriousness Celica XX followed a newborn product offering Toyota had foreign, offering personal luxury cars inspect their existing dealerships.

The Celica XX was the top-level produce alongside the Celica at Asian dealership sales channels called Toyota Corolla Store. The Celica XX offered the same comforts forfeit the Chaser hardtop coupe, Stain II hardtop coupe, and rendering Crown hardtop coupe.

Celica XX

The Celica XX (pronounced "double X"^[10]) is the Japanese market fame of the first generation Celica Supra.

It was available be smitten by two straight-six engines and cinque trim packages, beginning with representation 2600G, 2600S, 2000G, 2000S sit the entry-level 2000L.^[9] Six extrinsic body colours were offered, decide cloth upholstery patterns were clear-cut to the trim package spitting image burgundy, brown or dark ladidah.

Leather was offered in brownness and only on the "G" trim package. Aluminium alloy automobile were only offered on magnanimity "G" trim package.

The Japanese model was also available with the moderate 2.0 L engine, so buyers determine which yearly tax they were willing to pay according allure vehicle size and engine replacing regulations. Both engines were qualified with electronic fuel injection.^[6][12] Nobility installation of the larger appliance did obligate Japanese buyers norm pay a higher annual side street tax, making owning the machine more expensive than the engage Celica.

The Supra was premier exported outside Japan in Jan 1979.^[13] The federalized model was originally equipped with a 110 hp (82 kW; 112 PS) 2.6-litre 12-valve SOHC inline-6 engine.

Transmission options suffer privation the model were either a- 5-speed manual (W50) or play down optional 4-speed automatic transmission (A40D).

Both transmissions featured an employ gear. The top gear complicated the 5-speed was its employ gear whereas the automatic moving featured an overdrive gear stray would engage at speeds handing over 56 km/h (35 mph). The drivetrain intolerant the Supra retained the Well-ordered series solid rear axle conformation of the Celica in excellence Japanese MA45 version and dinky larger F series (and intentional Limited Slip Differential) in prestige MA46 and MA47.

The motor car also came standard with 4-wheel disc brakes and featured systematic four-link rear suspension with adorn springs, lateral track bar, distinguished stabilizer bar. The front abeyance consisted of MacPherson struts impressive a stabilizer bar.

The center of the Supra had discretionary power windows and power tresses by a hair by a as part of the practicality package.

The convenience package likewise included cruise control and mutual door trim with door trail straps with an optional sunshineroof. As for standard features, focal point the centre console there was an extendable map light add-on a flip-top armrest, which damaged storage. Some other features were the tilt steering wheel, abyssal zippered pockets on the backs of the front seats, direct a tonneau cover under goodness liftback.

The dashboard also reticent a state of the divulge AM/FM/MPX 4-speaker stereo radio, linear clock, and tachometer as locale of the instrument panel.

1979

The mid-1979 changes for the 1980 model year US model were mostly cosmetic. The interior standard a redesigned centre console additional a digital quartz clock.

Discovery the exterior were redesigned next to view mirrors and 14x51⁄2 give way aluminium wheels were standard (the previous year had steel car with plastic wheel covers significance standard and the aluminium railway carriage were optional). In addition, intent molded mudflaps became available. Accept as true cars finished in copper twangy and white, the mudflaps were painted the body colour behaviour the mudflaps were left inky on all other colours.

Clarify the rear of the mudflaps, the word "Celica" was rouged in white lettering.^[14]

The official Above site^[6] also notes that in attendance was an addition of intended leather-trimmed seating and automatic climate-control.

1980

In August 1980 (for magnanimity 1981 model year), the Above received an upgrade in movement with the 2.8-litre 5M-E appliance shared with the Crown (S110).

It was still a 12-valve SOHC engine, but had capital power output of 116 hp (87 kW; 118 PS) and 145 lb⋅ft (197 N⋅m) extent torque. The car's automatic transfer was changed to the revised Toyota A43D and it gained a revised final drive geartrain. Because of the change top engine and transmission a spanking chassis code of MA47 was given to the 1981 superlative.

Performance figures for this smooth include a 0–60 mph (97 km/h) speeding time of 10.24 seconds increase in intensity a 1/4-mile time of 17.5 seconds at a speed refreshing 77.7 mph (125 km/h).^[15]

Also in 1980 (for the 1981 model year), orderly new Sports Performance Package became an option, which included distraction suspension, raised white letter tyres, and front and rear spoilers.

This also marked the extreme year that an 8-track ribbon player was offered in common Supra.^[6][14]

Second procreation (A60; 1981)

Motor vehicle

In mid-1981, Toyota completely redesigned the Celica Above as well as the broad Celica lineup for the 1982 model year.

In Japan, justness Celica XX name continued, focus on the Celica Supra name spread internationally. Still based on authority Celica platform, there were a number of key differences, most notably righteousness design of the front drag your feet and fully retractable pop-up headlights. Other differences were the inline-six rather than four-cylinder engine, by reason of well as an increase knock over length and wheelbase to lodging the larger engine.

In prestige home market, cars fitted meet the 5M engine were to some extent or degre wider, while the 2-litre models remained compliant with the Asian width regulations, staying under 1,700 mm (66.9 in). The front suspension threadbare Macpherson struts while the create used a semi-trailing link coin with an attachment at loftiness rear differential.^[9]

In 1981, Japanese special-interest group were offered an alternative the Celica XX liftback bodystyle, called the Soarer coupé, which was now offered at one Japanese Toyota dealership networks alarmed Toyota Store, and Toyopet Store, as the Celica XX was sold at the Toyota Corolla Store.

The four-door performance bar called the Celica Camry was realigned with the Japanese marketplace Carina, and the Chaser assist sedan shared the Celica XX straight six, while in Northbound America the Cressida took mandate that role.

L-type and P-type

In the North American market, character Celica Supra was available complicated two distinct models.

There was the "Performance Type" (P-type) concentrate on the "Luxury Type" (L-type). Decide being mechanically identical, they were differentiated by the available options; tyre size, wheel size, stomach body trim. The P-type difficult fibreglass fender flares over greatness wheel wells, while the L-type did not. The P-type was also standard with the auxiliary sporty eight-way adjustable seats.

Ethics P-type did not get illustriousness option of a leather feelings until 1983. Initially, the Extravagance type meant Automatic transmission, come first Performance Type stood for Book. All editions of the P-type had the same 14x7-inch metal alloy wheels and throughout distinction years the L-type had 14x5.5-inch wheels until 1985 when they were changed to a P-type styled 15x6.

The L-type along with had the option of natty digital instrument cluster with efficient trip computer; some Canadian models (both L-types and P-types) difficult to understand this option as well reorganization a few rare instances snare American models. The L-type clod was easily distinguished from nobleness P-type cluster, by the 'ECT' function written on the line plate.

The digital cluster featured a digital tachometer, digital meter, and electronic fuel level captain coolant level gauges. The blunder computer could calculate and friction various things such as ammunition economy in miles-per-gallon, estimated interval of arrival (ETA), and spell remaining to destination.

Supras converge trip computers also came pick up again cruise control. Excluding the 1982 model, all P-types were rest with headlight washers as prominence option, but the L-types were never given such an decision. Although gear ratios changed during the whole of the years, all P-types came standard with a limited-slip differential.^[17]

1981

In 1981, for the 1982 questionnaire year, in the North Land market, the Celica Supra's 1 was the 2.8-litre 12-valve (two valves per cylinder) DOHC5M-GE.

Summit output was 145 hp (108 kW; 147 PS) SAE net and 155 lb⋅ft (210 N⋅m) of torque. The engine secondhand an 8.8:1 compression ratio come to achieve the power and featured a vacuum advanced distributor. What because the car debuted, it abstruse a drag coefficient of Cd=0.348, regular 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) acceleration time many 9.8 seconds and a 1⁄4 mile (400 m) time of 17.2-seconds at 80 mph (129 km/h).^[18]

The standard removal for this year was decency W58 5-speed manual with rank A43DL 4-speed automatic transmission questionnaire an option for L-types.

Both transmissions featured an overdrive cog and the automatic featured exceptional locking torque converter. The go mad gear in the 5-speed was its overdrive whereas the mechanical transmission featured an overdrive equipment that would engage at speeds over 56 km/h (35 mph). The 1982 model's rear differential featured orderly 3.72:1 ratio.

The Celica Supra's four-wheel independent suspension was even more tuned and designed by Lotus and featured variable assisted face rack-and-pinion steering and MacPherson struts up front. At the mention, it had semi-trailing arm disbarment with coil springs and unembellished stabilizer bar. Braking on nobleness Celica Supra was handled stomachturning four-wheel disc brakes.

On decency interior, this generation had ordinary power windows, power door hair, and power mirrors as follow as a tilt steering spin. The power door lock was located in the centre consolation next to the power parallel control. The analog dash nigh on this model only showed fastidious top speed of 88 mph (142 km/h) in North America.

The voluntary automatic climate control was renovated and was now seen introduction a standard feature on rank A60. Cruise control and clean up retractable map light was defective in this generation. Some options included the addition of first-class sunroof, two-tone paint schemes, put up with a five-speaker AM/FM/MPX tuner approximate a cassette player (Fujitsu Watered down Limited).

The optional cassette reproducer had a 105-watt power amplifier and a seven-band graphic repay. The standard stereo was out five-channel AM/FM/MPX tuner. Leather heart was an option on class L-type model, but the P-type models limited to standard banded cloth interior.

The AM/FM probe was integrated into the expansion windshield rather than a standard external mast antenna.

There was a key lock on nobleness gas tank door (in of a remote release) sit the hatch and rear jumbo were black regardless of plane colour on the rest earthly the car. The P-type was available with an optional nautical stern window visor above the contrive glass. The tail lights abstruse a reverse light in rectitude centre and the door handles opened the doors by drag sideways.

The front nose knob and B-pillar only read "Supra" for the first several months of production, but were denaturised to read "Celica Supra" middle through the model year. Illustriousness L-type had front and end mudflaps but P-type of that year did not.

1982

In 1982, for the 1983 model era, there were not many vacillations but there was an inclusion in power output to 150 hp (112 kW; 152 PS) and 159 lb⋅ft (216 N⋅m) of torque from the precise 5M-GE engine.

The only occur change in the engine house was the switch from exceptional vacuum advanced to an electronic advanced distributor, yet that blunt not increase the power crop. Toyota switched to a 4.10:1 rear gear ratio for influence P-type and a 3.73:1 teach the L-type. As for glory optional automatic transmission, they replaced the A43DL 4-speed with fastidious newly designed A43DE 4-speed.

Demonstrate had an electronic controller go off would adjust its shift prototype for a balance between aid and economy. It was probity first in the industry be bounded by provide an electronically controlled articulate (ECT). This allowed the conductor to choose either the "power" driving mode or "normal" purposeful mode at the touch allude to the button.

The power system provided the quickest acceleration bracket the normal mode provided prestige best all-around performance.

The heart virtually had no changes, however changes to the exterior focus a switch to a command mast antenna, mudflaps on spellbind models, and the addition assault headlight washers on the P-type.

All B-pillar and nose badges for cars sold in Northward America read "Celica Supra" boss only the P-type was vacant in two-tone colour schemes.

1983

In 1983, for the 1984 pattern year, the changes were low. Power output was increased dilution the 5-speed models to 160 hp (119 kW; 162 PS) and 163 lb⋅ft (221 N⋅m) of torque.

The increase was achieved by a mixture cosy up a redesigned intake manifold absorb D-shaped intake runners and guidebook increase in compression ratio to: 9.2:1.^[5] Another notable change get in touch with the 5-speed models was rendering switch to a 4.30:1 rigging ratio in the rear difference. All automatic models retained decency previous years power statistics, however the rear gear ratio was changed to 4.10:1.

The accumulate notable exterior changes included magnanimity switch to wraparound front deed signals, the option of either a rear wing spoiler knight high up on the tail end hatch, or rear window endure quarter window louvers. Also, authority tail-lights were redesigned and significance hatch received a billboard "Supra" sticker instead of the arranged sticker, which was previously positioned on the right.

The mention hatch and bumper was at odds and received the same hue as the rest of honourableness car (instead of the swarthy of previous years). The doorsill handles were also switched, stopper by pulling up instead portend sideways. Two-tone paint schemes likewise became available on both nobleness P-type and L-type models.

Some interior controls such as righteousness steering wheel, cruise control, explode door lock switch were uncharted.

Toyota included a 130 mph (209 km/h) speedometer in North American models instead of the traditional 85 mph (140 km/h) speedometer and the self-acting climate control display was as well changed. The previous year's tape-record and equalizer stereo option was now made a standard peninsula.

1985–1986

The Supra was redesigned another time in 1985.

Power output was marginally increased to 161 hp (120 kW; 163 PS) and torque was polish to 169 lb⋅ft (229 N⋅m). All models of this year had description same amount of power (both automatic models and 5-speed models). The engine received a unique throttle position sensor (TPS) pass for well as a new EGR system and knock sensor.

Ring true the slight increase in independence the Supra was able preserve propel itself from 0–60 mph (97 km/h) in 8.4 seconds and netlike a 16.1 second quarter-mile unmoving 85 mph (137 km/h).^[19]

Other changes would fur a redesigned, more integrated canopy and spoiler on the end hatch.

The rear spoiler was changed from a one-piece involve a two-piece. The option an assortment of a leather interior remained combined now for the P-Type. Toyota added a standard factory purloining deterrent system and the hard to find mirrors were equipped with adroit defogger that activated with honesty rear defroster. All Supras that year received automatic-off lights consider it also encompassed an automatic lighted entry and fade-out system.

While 1985 was to be nobility last year of production custom the second generation model, delays in production of the position generation model led to shipshape and bristol fashion surplus of second generation models. During the first half dead weight 1986 the 1985 P-type was still offered for sale, farce only minor cosmetic changes considerably well as the addition wheedle a now mandatory rear-mounted 3rd brake light on the concoct.

These were all labelled ostensibly as 1986 models. The P-type were the only model free for the 1986 model class. Production for the A60 Above ended in December 1985 detain order to make way let in the upcoming A70 Supra.

Markets

The second generation of the Above came in a variety clone options around the world in the same way well as only being offered during select years.

In Feb 1986, the bonds between character Celica and the Supra were cut; they were now flash completely different models.

The Celica changed to a front-wheel press layout, using the Toyota "T" platform associated with the Arc, while the Supra kept take the edge off rear-wheel-drive layout. The engine was updated to a more wellbuilt 2,954 cc (3.0 L) inline-six engine keen at 149 kW (200 hp; 203 PS). Even if initially only available with as a matter of course aspirated engines, a turbocharged repulse was added in the 1987 model year.

The Supra protracted its relationship with the Soarer.

All Japanese market models work stoppage the various versions of blue blood the gentry 2.0 L engine were on a small scale narrower overall so as accomplish be in compliance with Asiatic Government dimension regulations so cruise Japanese buyers weren't liable funding yearly taxes for driving spruce up larger car.

The new machine used in the A70 Above, the Toyota 7M-GE, was interpretation flagship engine of Toyota's pamphlet. Both versions of the machine contained 4 valves per orbit and dual overhead cams. Probity turbocharged7M-GTE engine was Toyota's rule distributor-less engine offered in interpretation US which used coil nick sitting on the cam eiderdowns and a cam position antenna driven by the exhaust camshaft.^[23] It was equipped with neat CT26 turbocharger and was impressive at 172 kW (231 hp; 234 PS) cultivate 5,600 rpm while the plainly aspirated 7M-GE engine was elevated at 149 kW (200 hp; 203 PS) mistrust 6,000 rpm.

Further refinement vocation the turbo model increased streak to 173 kW (232 hp; 235 PS) premier 5,600 rpm and 254 lb⋅ft (344 N⋅m) of torque at 3,200 rev in 1989. This was for the most part due to a redesign donation the wastegate. All models reachmedown the same tyre size pointer 225/50R16 on 16x7 inch jalopy.

Spare tyres were full-sized nevertheless on steel wheels.

The simply aspirated model came standard truthful the W58 manual transmission. Rank turbocharged models included the R154 manual transmission. Both were lean with the optional 4-speed A340E automatic transmission.

The third-generation Above represented an arsenal of newfound technology.

In 1986, options unengaged for the Supra included cool 3-channel ABS and TEMS which gave the driver two settings which affected the damper rates; a third was automatically excited at wide open throttle, concrete braking, and high speed tactfulness.

ACIS (Acoustic Control Induction System), a method of controlling circus compression pulses inside the nutriment piping to increase power, was also a part of depiction 7M-GE's technological arsenal.

All models were fitted with double prattle suspension front and rear. Unornamented targa top was offered misrepresent all model years along let fall a metal power sliding sunshineroof (added in 1991).

Production book of the GA70/MA70/JZA70 Supra was estimated at 241,471 units.

1986 1/2

The third-generation Supra was alien in February 1986 as spiffy tidy up stand-alone model, officially being disjoin from the Celica.

Whereas authority Celica became a front-wheel-drive escort coupe, the Supra retained take the edge off image as a rear-wheel-drive sports/GT car. The new Supra would continue to move upscale added become a showcase for Toyota's technology. The Supra was roasting by a 3.0-litre DOHC inline six-cylinder engine rated at 149 kW (200 hp; 203 PS).

Notable features limited in number an electronically-controlled independent suspension (called the Toyota Electronic Modulated Rejection – TEMS), and some came with a removable Sport-Roof gore (Targa top).

1987

The A70 Above Turbo was introduced in 1987. The intercooled, turbocharged version clever the 3.0-litre inline 6-cylinder device boosted power to 172 kW (231 hp; 234 PS) and 240 lb⋅ft (325 N⋅m) sign over torque.

The engine, designated style 7M-GTE, was one of decency first distributor-less mass production machines in the United States. That was accomplished with 3 windings being shared using the desolated spark system. The Turbo stake also included an engine notice cooler and an integrated prepare spoiler. The sports package, which was standard on the Turbo and optional on the glue model, included a limited-slip computation (LSD), TEMS, and headlamp washers.

A new 4-channel anti-lock braking system (ABS) was optional invective both models. In 1987, straight new beige/tan colour combination was implemented, and only 1,000 cars were produced with this schema. Toyota installed its variable elicitation technology into the DOHC twin-turbocharged 1G-GTE engine called T-VIS extract also included it into rank 7M-GTE engine as well.

1988

Changes for the 1988 model assemblage were nominal with the departure of the discontinuation of two-toned brown exterior paint. The spoiler-mounted brake light changed from well-ordered square to a trapezoid in poor condition. Seat pattern was changed pass up squares to lines, and "foil" on climate control and divert gear changed from light contact dark gray.

Japanese buyers could select from six different convenient packages starting with the coat of arms level 3.0 GT Turbo Regional with the 7M-GTEU engine, followed by the 3.0 GT Turbo, GT Twin Turbo with justness 1G-GTEU DOHC 2.0 L machine, the GT with the 2.0 L DOHC 1G-GEU engine, character G with the 1G-EU instrument and the S with dignity 1G-EU engine as the design model.

All Japanese models came with either a 5-speed vade-mecum transmission or the 4-speed mechanical transmission with ECT-s except position G and the S correction which the ECT-s wasn't not in use. In Japan, the 3.0 GT Turbo Limited, the 3.0 GT Turbo and the GT Turbo were installed standard walkout a digital instrument panel, significance 3.0 L models came gather an AM/FM Cassette stereo cop an integrated CD player status cruise control.

Climate control was also standard on all turbocharged models, and leather interior was only available on the GT Turbo Limited.

1989

Changes for blue blood the gentry 1989 model year include modifications to the wastegate actuator, victual location and engine management accrued power output by 1.5 kW (2 hp; 2 PS) on the turbo extremity.

The engine mount and go-ahead were also revised in have a lot to do with 1989. The changes made assail the cross member and mounts made to accommodate the (1JZ engine) for Japanese models. Say publicly protective body molding was extremely changed by taking away goodness steel reinforcement. This made decency molding lighter and prevented justness rusting problem found on birth previous year models.

The "white package" was introduced as vigorous, featuring white body molding gleam white "saw blade" wheels. Domestic choices were limited to depressed and burgundy only. Other surpass pure cosmetics changes, there was nothing different from other models. All models received rear 3-point seat belts to replace honourableness previous years' two-point lap belts.

New tail lights, front spanking with integrated lower grille (as opposed to the previous years' detachable grille), side mirrors, writhe crawl signals, upper grilles, foglights, seamanship wheel, door panels, climate ensnare, window switches and bezels, captain stereo are added. Addition disparage coat hooks on B-pillar beam removal of rear seat pockets round out interior changes.

Turbo models received three piece someone with an integrated LED check light. 1989 also marked description end of headlight washers assimilate the US and SuperMonitor; implicate advanced system offered by Toyota able to calculate miles hideous to be traveled on spring tank, ability to check means codes from inside the bungalow, among other features.

1990

For grandeur 1990 model year, changes tendency larger protective laminate in encroachment of rear wheels, lower redline (owing to the heavier kernel with cylinders 2 & 5 counterbalanced), redesigned steering wheel constitute cruise control relocated to unornamented stalk on the right bring down (US only).

In addition on a par with a driver-side airbag and airbag indicator light on dashboard (US only), the left side show the switch panel was likewise redesigned, which replaced one pleasant the coin slots with distinction dimmer. The lower dashboard bulwark became a two-piece design, which was also much heavier puzzle the previous one-piece panel dim to a change in theme.

Finally, the memory lever intensification the steering column was cool. In short, a plethora end the changes for the 1989 and 1990 were to class interior.

1991

For the 1991 whittle year, the wheel design was changed to 5-spoke wheels. Both models had 16x7-inch aluminium admixture wheels that were fitted collect 225/50/16 tyres and full-sized spares on steel wheels.

Body border changed in colour to convalescence match the exterior. The facade "Supra" emblem was also altered to the current corporate ovoid Toyota symbol was used deprive this model year onwards. Grandeur speedometer was also revised, existing included more lines that were removed in 1989, but drawn did not have as repeat (one line per mph) monkey 1986.5 to 1988 models.

Recent interior colours, namely shadow downhill and deep red, were not native bizarre, which marked the end show medium gray, tan and vino. Blue interior became only free on white packages, and those with blue paint. Burgundy was replaced with white package-only profound red. Every other body cast received a shadow gray center, with leather interiors retaining standard gray seats and interior inserts.

Front speakers were changed escape 3.5 inch to 6.5 inches and the speaker cover was also enlarged to accommodate them. Beginning in 1991, Toyota began to offer a factory spoiler-style panel sunroof. These sunroofs lap up now highly sought after ahead rare since they were imported in the ending production stage of the A70 Supra.

1992

For the 1992 model year, excellence leather shadow gray interiors traditional black seats and inserts. Non-turbo models lost the option all but a targa top, and put in order new optional subwoofer was nourish. Subwoofer-equipped Supras did without distinction rear bins and wooden "floorboard".

Instead, rear carpet was formed to the spare tyre, highest there was a cut-out promotion the woofer housing.

JZA70 jaunt GA70

The Japanese models of say publicly Supra were given the bod codes JZA70 and GA70 1 The JZA70 has a 2.5-litre 206 kW (276 hp; 280 PS) parallel twin-turbocharged 1JZ-GTE engine, and the GA70 has a 2.0-litre 154 kW (207 hp; 209 PS) twin-turbocharged 1G-GTE and fine naturally aspirated 1G-GEU engines separately.

JZA70-R

In addition to the inauguration of the JZA70 in 1990, Toyota introduced a special exchange of the JZA70 with representation 1JZ-GTE engine known as blue blood the gentry 2.5 Twin Turbo R worry (JZA70-R). It boasted additional upgrades, including lighter sway bars, calligraphic larger intercooler, Torsen differential, Mixed TEIN/Bilstein sports suspension, Shadow/Dark ashen interior trim, MOMO steering roll and gear knob and Recaro seats and door trim.

Blue blood the gentry wheels were painted charcoal wan, and the front bumper fastening featured channeled air ducts complete the front brakes. The Turbo R introduced a advanced and exclusive colour option pierce 1992 for the JZA70-R whittle known as Jade Mica Callow. (Note: this colour was as well available in Europe) The JZA70-R model is the lightest topmost fastest model of third date of the Supra.

Turbo A

The Turbo-A was Toyota's evolution miniature for the Group A junkets car series that required topping minimum homologation run of Cardinal units. The Turbo-A was plastic for 2 months during greatness period of September and Oct 1988 and was available harshly in Japan. Thus the expression 88 Spec A. Some abnormal differences between the standard MA70 Supra 3.0 GT and character Turbo-A model are both slight and mechanical;

• The standard CT-26 turbo had a slightly paramount inducer and can be definite by a stamped "E" straighten out the raised casting on probity compressor housing.
• The Turbo-A had trig 65 mm (2.6 in) wide throttle item and accompanied a larger diam "blank" crossover pipe, instead invite the standard 7M-GTE 60 mm (2.4 in) throttle body and original "3000" cast pipe.
• The Turbo-A also benefited from a larger volume make air cleaner instead of righteousness factory plastic unit
• Thicker roll exerciser front and rear
• Ventilated brake discs all-round
• The fuel management used spruce up MAP system, instead of nobleness standard Karmen Vortex AFM.
• The frontage nose features an additional "Turbo A duct" to add flow to the top area make stronger the intercooler.
• Also unique was probity side decal and rear badging ("3.0GT Turbo A") and shipshape and bristol fashion black paint job (paint rules 202).

All cars came standard assort grey leather interior featuring a- MOMO-sourced steering wheel and move about knob.

It is powered in and out of a 204 kW (274 hp; 277 PS) Toyota 7M-GTEU engine. It is basic to note that the 7M-GTEU was standard in all Asiatic MA70 models and is classify unique to the Turbo-A. Nobility "U" designation meant the mechanism came equipped with a accessory converter as per Japan rays laws.

The Group-A MA70 Above had varying degrees of profit in various fields such slightly Rally and 24HR, but enquiry most known for its training in the Japanese Touring Vehivle Championship (JTCC).

In the JTCC the Supra did not overcome as many races as instance, which is primarily judged grade the fact it was nonindustrial and its placement in wonderful higher tier division under manners because of the 3.0-litre contraption displacement, imposing the Toyota deal the performance inhibition of manipulation with a higher curb poundage and less power compared hyperbole the rest of its class.^{[citation needed]} Both the TOM'S last SARD teams fared well contain results in the (JTCC) siphon off the TOM'S team winning directive its debut in 1987, earlier abruptly ending their (JTCC) job with the MA70 Group-A thud 1989.

Upon its initial Indweller Touring Car Championship (ATCC) first night in 1989, the Group-A Above failed to finish its chief race. With DNF's becoming fine regular upset owing to nobleness lack of power and full-size weight of the Supra, exodus began to strike doubt simple the car's capability of triumph in the (ATCC) which entitled increasingly due to constant ticket and regulation changes issuing neat red-faced outcome against its prime rivals like the Ford Sierra Cosworth RS500, Nissan Skyline HR31 GTS-R and the BMW M3 (E30) which were lighter, addition powerful and had more incident behind them.

Hopes would also diminish for Toyota in illustriousness top division by the curtain-raiser of the domineering Nissan Line GT-R (R32) in the (JTCC) in 1989 and the Denizen Touring Car Championship (ATCC) squeeze 1990. Australian racing team Vocaliser Racing won the first trace of the March 1991 Bathurst 12 Hour. Toyota in 1991 would switch to racing influence Corolla Levin instead in grandeur lower tier divisions, while assorted privateer teams soldiered on assemble the Supra until the Division A racing's final demise breach 1993.

Only eleven MA70 Group-A cars were built by TRD Japan for homologation racing. Swell few out of many uncommon developed parts that were cut out for to the various Group-A exercise cars happen to include top-hole cast magnesium nine litre storm pan with matching high gush oil pump, 288 camshafts exchange of ideas 10.88mm lift, Hollinger close structure 5-speed gear-set in the R154 case, Harrop 4 piston defer calipers with 15.5-inch (393 mm) rotors, and TRD-sourced torque-vectoring mechanical limited-slip differential with 50:50 left:right put in jail on full throttle.

TRD was also responsible for the coagulated rear-anti squat tram-rods which were integral to the multi-link fagend suspension setup to control tail end squat under hard acceleration keep from launching.

The A80 document began in February 1989 covered by various teams for design, goods planning, and engineering led lump Isao Tsuzuki.

By the nucleus of 1990, a final A80 design concept from Toyota Technological Centre Aichi was approved alight frozen for production in imply 1990. The first test scuffs were hand-built in A70 occupy during late 1990, followed descendant the first A80 prototypes core hand-assembled in 1991.

Again put subframe, suspension, and drivetrain assemblies from the Z30 Soarer (Lexus SC300/400), pre-production of the transliterate models started in December 1992 with 20 units made,^[33] mount official mass production began draw April 1993.^{[33][inconsistent]} The fourth-generation Above again shared its platform ready to go the upscale Soarer coupe, wholesale in the US as illustriousness Lexus SC.

Although the unite cars looked similar dimension-wise, integrity new Supra was more facing 13 inches (340 mm) shorter by its luxurious cousin.^[34]

This redesign proverb Toyota placing great emphasis try out a more serious high-performance van. The A80 featured two in mint condition engines: a naturally aspiratedToyota 2JZ-GE having a power output disbursement 164 kW (220 hp; 223 PS) at 5,800 rpm and 210 lb⋅ft (285 N⋅m) console 4,800 rpm of torque final a twin turbochargedToyota 2JZ-GTE accepting a power output of 206 kW (276 hp; 280 PS) and 318 lb⋅ft (431 N⋅m) of torque for the Altaic model.

For the export miniature (American/European markets) Toyota upgraded integrity Supra turbo's engine (by installment smaller, steel wheeled turbochargers shaft bigger fuel injectors, etc.). That increased the power output medical 239 kW (321 hp; 325 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 315 lb⋅ft (427 N⋅m) fall for torque at 4,000 rpm (243 kW (326 hp; 330 PS) and 325 lb⋅ft (441 N⋅m) for European markets) Upon wellfitting launch in 1993, it was the first Toyota-badged vehicle censure include a passenger-side airbag makeover standard (US-market only).^[33]

The twin turbochargers operated in sequential mode otherwise of parallel.

Initially, all assess the exhaust gases are routed to the first turbine acquire reduced lag. This resulted integrate boost and enhanced torque thanks to early as 1,800 rpm, turn it already produced 300 lb⋅ft (407 N⋅m) of torque. At 3,500 rev, some of the exhaust gases are routed to the subordinate turbine for a "pre-boost" method, although none of the compressor output is used by nobleness engine at this point.

Drowsy 4,000 rpm, the second turbo's output is used to harden the first turbo's output. Compared to the parallel mode, organized mode turbochargers provide quicker accept RPM response and increased big RPM boost. This high Rate boost was also aided coupled with technology originally present in ethics 7M-GE in the form detailed the Acoustic Control Induction Usage (ACIS) which is a passing of managing the air concentration pulses within the intake piercing as to increase power.

For this generation, the Supra normal a new six-speed Getrag/Toyota V160 gearbox on the turbo models while the naturally aspirated models were equipped with a five-speed manual W58 transmission, revised go over the top with the previous model. Each document was offered with a four-speed automatic with manual shifting materialize.

All vehicles were equipped cream five-spoke aluminium alloy wheels, description naturally aspirated models had 16-inch wheels and the turbo models had 17-inch wheels wearing 235/45/17 fronts and 255/40/17 rear tyres. The difference in wheel outward was to accommodate the improved brakes equipped as standard fight the turbo model, but extract Japan were optional equipment.

Picture turbo models had 4-piston vanguard calipers with 2-piston rear callipers. The naturally aspirated models came equipped with dual front focus on single rear piston calipers. Both models had a space hoarder spare tyre on a ready rim to save both room and weight. All models motivated a double-wishbone suspension front paramount rear.

Toyota took measures discriminate against reduce the weight of that new model. Aluminium was reflexive for the bonnet, targa outrun (when fitted), front crossmember, disfigure and transmission pans, and imitative upper suspension A-arms.

Other far-away included hollow carpet fibres, magnesium-alloy steering wheel, plastic gas containerful and lid, dished out purpose bolts, gas injected rear person, and a single pipe absorb. Despite having more features much as dual airbags, traction seize, larger brakes, wheels, tyres, flourishing an additional turbocharger, the motor was at least 91 kg (200 lb) lighter than its predecessor.

High-mindedness base model with a enchiridion transmission had a curb watery of 1,456 kg (3,210 lb). The targa top added 18 kg (40 lb) faux weight while the automatic removal added 25 kg (55 lb). The fourth-generation model had a 51:49 (front:rear) weight distribution. The turbo working model weighed 1,565 kg (3,450 lb) with orderly manual transmission while the selfgoverning added another 4.5 kg (10 lb) acquaintance the overall weight.

Weight publication was 53% front and 47% rear. The Supra was heavier than the Mazda RX-7 tell all aluminium bodied Acura/Honda NSX and weighed about the costume amount as the Nissan 300ZX, but was lighter than position Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4.^[35]

By the crush 1990s, sales of all recreation coupes were declining in Northern America.

Furthermore, a stronger hankering pushed prices up in chains store outside Japan.^[36] The Supra was withdrawn from the Canadian barter in 1996 and the Insatiable in 1998. The Turbo was not available in 1998 spartan California Air Resources Board (CARB) states. Production continued in Nippon until August 2002, ceasing at the back of to restrictive emission standards.

Performance

The turbocharged variant could accelerate 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in as low brand 4.6 seconds and cover 402 m (1⁄4 mile) in 13.1 succinctly at 175 km/h (109 mph).^[37]Car and Driver magazine includes a rollout always their 4.6 seconds test (typically about 0.3 second) that they subtract from the acceleration figures.^[38] The turbo version has simple tested top speed of 257 km/h (160 mph),^[39] but the cars unwanted items restricted to just 180 km/h (112 mph) in Japan and 250 km/h (155 mph) in worldwide markets.

European versions of the car also challenging an air intake or load on the bonnet. It has a drag coefficient of Cd=0.31 dilemma the naturally aspirated models cope with 0.32 for the turbo models but unknown with the discipline spoiler.

The standard A80 Above chassis has also proven idea effective platform for roadracing, filch several top 20 and grade 10 One Lap of Land finishes in the SSGT1 lineage.

In 1994, the A80 managed remarkable skidpad ratings of 0.95 lateral g's (200 ft) and 0.98 lateral g's (300 ft)^[40] The Above also featured a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system co-worker yaw control whereby each callipers is sensored and the brake are controlled individually according reach the speed, angle, and progress of the approaching corner.

That unique Formula One-inspired braking plan allowed the Supra Turbo discover record a 113 km/h (70 mph) -0 braking distance of 149 ft (45 m),^[41] the best braking performance break into any production car tested rank 1997 by Car and Driver magazine.
