By now we have long established that the wonderful Toyota Supra is one of the most ideally suited cars for the import builder, the reason for this is simple it has shape, style, a long pedigree and comes with a cool inline three litre engine. Cars just do not come like this anymore, well certainly at price that is affordable by almost everyone who has the vision to see beyond the factory built version.
You have to skip back twenty years or so to see the sort of era that the second generation MR2 (SW20) was launched into, these were busy times and the property and financial markets were about to be rocked to ground! Not as bad as what we have seen recently, but never the less this was a time for caution and yet Toyota was already committed to the new looking MR2, which was nicknamed the poor man’s Ferrari.
This actually helped the car
The MR2 is one of the coolest Toyotas around even with all of the issues that Toyota has the moment with the biggest product recall in the history of the car industry the MR2 rises up over all of this. This model is in fact the 1992 version, to some people it would be best one made and we would have to agree.
The car has been almost modified to death in the body department, with almost all of the exterior being transformed with some sort of panel or modification. This trend follows throughout the car with a decent nitrous unit and turbo being insta
When Toyota first brought out the MR2 in the late eighties it took the market by storm, people from all around the world could not get their hands on one quick enough and that is how the market for a good sports car developed. Now most of the major car manufacturers have their own mini sports car, but still the MR2 is the one that is leagues ahead of the rest and in fact, the fantastic MR2 is out there on its own.
The Scion is Toyota’s attempt at attacking the younger car owner in the US, which to all intents and purposes they have done with flair and design. The idea of the car is a sound one, but you bet your life that the people behind the Scion has no idea that people like Bruce Barrett would even think that he would be getting his hands on one these fun cars.
You simply do not see many of these on the road, let alone in the condition that this one is in. 1971 that seems like an age away, just image what that car has been through and what changes have occurred around it over those long years.
In technology terms cars have come a long way in both design and in the way that they are manufactured, yet at the time, this
When Toyota brought out the Lexus range of cars, these were considered luxury vehicles designed for executives who did not want to buy a Mercedes for some reason or other. But over the years the range has expanded to take on the likes of Porsche and other high performance cars, so getting your hands on a Lexus SC430 that would be it, wouldn’t it?
This is something a little bit special the Blitz/Scorch Drag Supra, capable of delivering 1,497 hp, which is one hell of handful. The car was built by Blitz the drag racers in collaboration with the drag shop Scorch Racing.
The plan is simple, get this car to the track in Japan and blows everything else out of the way, which may not be that difficult considering that the ultimate goal is build the fastest Supra around.
Originally from Austria, Nick Stonawski who now lives in California and has a love of Japanese cars, in particular the Toyota Supra but only the update version from 1989 to 1992, now that seems like a combination that we should really be looking at.
Having made friends with another Toyota fan, owner of Genki Garage and in actual fact an expert in the field of the Supra, Mike Urbano.
It is not unusual to see a normal Toyota Supra being driven around the streets by a woman; you have to suppose that occasionally the car would even be used on the school run. However, looking at this machine, with its full body kit from Top Secret and pulling 1,200 hp you may think macho; but in fact, this car belongs to Joy Carino.
Sure, she may be part of the AutoConcept Elite Crew from Camarillo, California, who happened to help
