![]() Now, we’ll take a deep look at this 1994 Toyota Supra Turbo and try to figure out if it’s overrated or not. On paper, things couldn’t get any better, could they? Well, enter the A80 in 1993, and tuner and Japanese performance culture would change forever. Even though the 230 hp (233 ps) pumped out by the 7M-GTE were more than enough, in 1992, one of the holy grails of engines was introduced – the 1JZ, creating the best version of the MK3 Supra. Thankfully, in 1987, it was updated, with a turbocharger, creating the 7M-GTE engine, a true great from a long line of power plants. This generation, known as the A70, represented the moment the Supra name was torn away from the Celica line, and it became its own model, not just a trim level.Īt first, the MK3 wasn't that great because it was still using the engine from the previous generation, but with a whole lot more weight around it. That said, things started to change in 1986, when the third generation was introduced. The next generation of the Supra, called the A60, was introduced in 1981, and it was decent but nothing you would think twice about.

It underwent a few variations over the years, but in 1978, the Celica XX was launched. ![]() And, in the oil crisis and emissions regulations world, the small and fuel efficient Japanese car was perfect. It all began in 1970 with the brand new, rear-wheel drive Celica, made to look and compete with the pony cars America was pumping out at that time. ![]() We'll talk about the MK4 in a second, but we ought to take a look at its history, as it is a pretty interesting one. Secondly, I'm not saying that the Supra is a bad car in any way, shape, or form, and when we take a deeper look, we'll find it to be a rather good one it might just not worth the hype and the ginormous price that comes along with that. First of all, I'm talking about the MK4 Supra in particular, as it is the leading candidate for the overhyping coming from kids who don't even have a driver's license.
