THE TOYOTA SUPRA

Introduced in 1993, the 4th generation Toyota Supra was a stark departure from the car before and instantly won the hearts of enthusiasts and journalists alike, specifically in Twin Turbo guise. Packing two sequential turbos onto the base specification 220 horsepower inline-6 added 100 horsepower- a 45% increase- and motivated the coupe to 60 mph in a scant 5 seconds, bested only by the Dodge Viper, Ferrari 512TR and F40, the Lamborghini Diablo, Shelby 427 Cobra and the Vector W8 Twin Turbo when tested by Road and Track in 1993. The Supra was not only concerned with straight line speed, however, and the braking and handling were benchmarks in its segment. Stylistically, the Supra is unmistakable, with the large arched rear wing, prominent headlights, front airducts, and side scoops.

THE MOTORCAR OFFERED

Showing just over 16,000 miles since new, this handsome Twin Turbo Supra is beautifully presented throughout. Still sporting its original black paint on its aggressive bodywork and a supple tan interior, this Supra is one of the lucky examples to avoid heavy modifications. Originally purchased in 1993, the first owner kept this Supra until 2007, driving it sparingly over those 14 years, averaging just 1,000 miles per year. It was then traded in to a Toyota dealership, where it remained until 2013, before entering the private collection of a Toyota/Lexus dealer. The consignor acquired this sporty Toyota in 2018.

Aside from the tires, which were replaced in 2013, this Supra Twin Turbo remains in spectacular, unmolested condition. The paintwork is in very good condition, the interior is nice and tight, and the body is straight with spectacular panel gaps, all a testament to its low mileage and garaged existence. The high polished rims compliment the glossy black paintwork, too, retaining a great luster without visible pitting or oxidation. This special Supra is remarkably well presented and comes complete with its original manuals, tool kits, keys, and original spare and CARFAX report. An up and coming young-timer collector car, these powerful Twin Turbo Supras offered Samurai-like performance and iconic aesthetics.
