Supraaaa !!!!

🏁 First Generation (A40/A50; 1978–1981)

The Supra originated as the Toyota Celica XX in Japan and was marketed as the Celica Supra in other regions. It was a more refined, six-cylinder version of the Celica, featuring a 2.0L or 2.6L engine and rear-wheel drive. This model laid the foundation for the Supra’s performance-oriented identity.

🔧 Second Generation (A60; 1982–1985)

The A60 Supra evolved into a standalone model, shedding the Celica name. It introduced more aggressive styling and improved performance, including electronic fuel injection and turbocharged engines. The 2.8L engine produced 145 hp, and the design embraced the sleek, angular styling popular in the 1980s.

⚙️ Third Generation (A70; 1986–1993)

The A70 marked a significant leap forward with a more refined design and advanced technology. It offered a range of engines, including a 3.0L turbocharged variant producing 232 hp. The model featured innovations like electronically adjustable suspension and integrated aerodynamics, solidifying its reputation as a technologically advanced sports car.

🏎️ Fourth Generation (A80; 1993–2002)

The A80 Supra is perhaps the most legendary, featuring the renowned 2JZ engine in both naturally aspirated (220 hp) and twin-turbocharged (321 hp) forms. With a six-speed manual transmission and a design that emphasized aerodynamics, it competed with supercars like the Porsche 911 Turbo and Aston Martin DB7. The A80’s tuning potential became legendary, with modified versions exceeding 2,000 hp. Despite its acclaim, production ended in 2002 due to declining sales.

🔄 Fifth Generation (A90; 2019–Present)

After a nearly two-decade hiatus, the Supra returned in 2019, co-developed with BMW. The A90 features a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine producing 335 hp, achieving 0–60 mph in 4.1 seconds. The design merges retro elements with modern aesthetics, honoring the Supra lineage while introducing contemporary touches.

🎬 Cultural Impact

The Supra’s legacy was further cemented with its appearances in film and television, notably in the “Fast & Furious” franchise. The bright orange Supra from the 2001 film “The Fast and the Furious,” driven by Paul Walker’s character, became an iconic symbol of the series. Vin Diesel recently reunited with the car, reflecting on its special place in his heart and its significance in honoring Walker’s legacy.
