Absolutely not.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Looks so damn good without aftermarket ricer shit slapped on.
The spoiler is very well needed, since the Supra is a RWD car, after all.
Yeah that's true.
Rims could use work tho
Still looks boring
HondaMan Vtec and your civic ain’t right...
i don't think people appreciate how modern this car actually looked.
Still looks good even by 2020 standards 👍
I love it, its my favorite car around
It is to plain and not really that good looking.
Yall praise this car too much
Yup. It holds up. Same with the RX-7 and the last NSX.
0-60 in 5.1 sec was crazy fast at the time
+Viren S I think some magazines tested it at 4.6 seconds
That time still feels fast. It's quick even by today's standards.
Viren S
0-60 4.6 secs
1/4 13.1 secs
Car&Driver test in 93'
Viren S a
Look at their 94 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 review. 0-60 in 4.9 seconds
I don't think they knew exactly what they were testing back at that time.
abu ess exactly. It's too bad they didn't run it around their test road course. Back then the handling blew the doors off of a lot of high end manufacturers. And it's even very competitive today on a road course with minimal upgrades.
abu ess yep
toyota is a piece of SHIT
+World Embassy toyota is a piece of SHIT
i would take this piece of shit any day haha. For all the hating you are doing on here, this car is going up in value and will skyrocket soon. Especially any Supras stock or close to it.
This design has aged very well. Still a beautiful car today.
Toyota Supra is best car from 1993.
The Supra was truly ahead of it's time.
Scott Witkowski Where does that out the C4 corvette though? Especially the ZR1?
Michael Montgomery behind its time?
Scott Witkowski yep
toyota is a piece of SHIT
Your mom is a piece of shit
and at that time nobody knew how popular this car would become...
Actually, some of us did. I almost bought the only used one I could find back in '97 (and afford) but the auto trans it had killed it for me.
@@tmmurphy
Could have swap it for a manual lol.
All because of a dumb movie.
@@Twobarpsi And kids hyping it. I love Supra MK4, but hype kills the feeling of the car.
it was an expensive heavy understeering car in its time, they were cheap in the day until F&F hyped it up
I remember when this car came out and everyone was stunned by 320 hp!!! It was mind blowing in 1993. Still looks great, a true classic
The design must have been mind blowing in 1993!
Yeah, the production of this car made it all the way to 2002. NA sales only lasted till 1998.
icantw8 yeah but it only made it to 2002 in Japan in the us the supra died in 98
James Foster Thats exactly what I was saying lol but yeah :) This car totally would've looked fresh in the mid 2000s at best. This is like the only 90s car I wouldn't mind owning at all. Being that it's already 24 years old and still one of the best sports car STILL today. It's a sad shame there isn't too many out there anymore.
Everyone was also stunned by the price!
This design is amazingly beautiful for its time. Still holds up well today.
Considering it's a clone of the 928
My ass. Park them next to each other. Surprised Porsche didn't sue. And don't get me wrong, I'm not a Porsche fanboy, or a Supra hater. It's just too obvious.
Ivan Feliciano is that dude 231mac for real?? What cave did he come from
malmstring Most modern cars looks ugly and deformed, while some japanese cars from the 90s have a slick and clean design. Supra is one of them.
231mac They're similar but they aren't a "clone" in any sense of the word! Only the curviness is similar. The overall look and feel are completely different from each other!
"More than you can afford pal; Ferrari."
"Smoke 'em."
Ryan Troyer haha, although that car in the movie was a non turbo still like seeing pricks like that get smoked
you realize that wasnt a stock Supra right?
yesss
Come on now! That was a 10 sec car!!!!! WTH full interior and 500lbs heavier than stock.
lol fast and the furious
one of the best Toyota car ever made.
The plain jane Camry and Corolla have always been their bread and butter but this proves they can make a sexy car if they want to.
then they got bmw to build a Z4 so they could have a supra
21 years later and that car is still sexy as hell and turns heads if you actually get to see one on the road! Toyota/Honda have fallen so short since their golden days in the 90's with so many fun sporty cars. The numbers this supra turns out for a car 21 years old is better than so many cars now a days! Sadly, those days are no more. I just with Toyota/Honda would try to make a strong comeback but we all know the investors run the company now, money is all that matters, not a icon for the company that draws buyers to their brand, and young people to dream of the day they could own a Toyota like the Supra here.....sad.
bull shit bro, my 07 tl type s, blows these numbers away stock for stock, and i have 0 turbos. guess the type s can b considered a SUPER car, cause it was superer then this heap in stock form
flappy188 your stock TL does better than 5.1 seconds 0 to 60? lol ooook .....
"2007 Acura TL 0-60 mph 5.7" Clearly, your TL is NOT faster than this 21 year old car. lol
flappy188 I don't see 1000hp TL around.
Acc0rd79 TYPE S and i said stock for stock
flappy188 a stock type S is NOT faster than this STOCK supra that they are showing in this review. Sorry, you need to fact check yourself. If that supra was made in '07 like your TL, it would have around 500hp. This car is 21 years old and still faster. Sorry, the TL is a nice car back then but its no super car like the Supra was in the 90s.
If only they had known :)
Steffen Flindt if they had known they'd literally hide it away, similar to how a 9.5 mile early 90's IROC-Z camaro survived into 2016
known what?
Marcus Grewal how much of an iconic car it was to become
grjr they can thank fast and furious for that
@z yeah because you have a better chance seeing a dodo in the wild than finding an unmolested one with three pedals.
One of a few 90's cars that actually is worth MORE now then it was originally able to be purchased for.
$40k in 1993 is about $66k today.
Still a pretty good investment for a car.
Even with inflation today's MK4 supra turbo prices are about where they were when new. The truly mint condition low mileage ones will be into the six figures before long.
*unmodified
6 figures ?!?! Try $160,000 already
I cant believe he disliked the interior so much. That fighter jet cockpit dash, is one of my favorite sports car interiors of all time
04dram04 Exactly! The interior is beautiful and driver orientated perfectly. The interior lines are still sexy and exotic IMO.
wtsig76 I also agree that it's nice and made for drivers, but the car really should have been equipped with a full set of gauges. :)
Yeah it is kinda odd that it didn't have a full set of gauges in The Toyota flagship. 90's Japanese-made cars had a gauge or button for everything. Look at the stereo in the Supra!
Yeah the dude was a real fucking idiot if you notice, he has nothing bad to say when he's talking about euro trash, but as soon a a JDM classic pops up he has everything to complain about.
04dram04 even the most minimal shit.
I just bought one from a first owner last week with an 41,284 miles on the digital mileage, and I paid 40,000$ for it? Well, it worth it and it is a black with ivory and black trims interior, 6 speed manual, and hardtop with no wing. Took the car 3 days after I went to the insurance to buy my ride an full coverage insurance... Went to Fontana raceway 4 days after.. And I've ran 13.13 seconds at 109.08 mph... ? The car were bone stock!!! And took it to the truck scale to weight it with a full tank of gas.. For a bragging right to all of the supra forums who wanted to know what was the real weight of the car.. Mine was 3,416 pounds.. Wow!! And mine is a 1993 premium edition. I guess it is really worth it!!
I suspected the time on this road test was off 0-60 in 5.1 but only a 14 flat? I recall them running low 13 to high 12's . The 14.0 would have it struggling to outrun the 2013 6mt Accord Coupe V6.
@InnerGuide lol no one is trading that for a supra
Awesome car but WOW they were so expensive!
Prince David they're only going up in value though.
+kolby4078 Yeah, I had an 87 Supra and the title price was over 33k in 1987, I remember thinking you could have bought a Porsche for that back then.
Jack Allen wow expensive but still such a cool car. I think the 87 supra is a better looking car than the Porsches too. I don't know what it is about that angular style but i Love it
lol but in no way proportional to inflation and how much you could have made if you invested that same money
They are even more expensive now
I've always like the MK4 Supras cockpit, it reminds me of a fighter plane where everything wraps around you.
Fuck off you stupid tosser
IIproductionsII Get over yourself. Your opinion isn't important to anyone except you.
This concludes your reality check for the day.
I am quite aware that airplanes have cockpits because my workplace is a cockpit.
StratMatt777
He's a Douche Bag, I just checked his google+ account and he's got a habbit of correcting people in his stuck up manor. Ignore him and he'll go away.
Leeroy Jones That's strange.... I began my message to him with "Douche Bag" but deleted it... and then you used the same term! ;)
Yeah, he's on a mission to feel that he is smarter than others. Typical low self-esteem stuff.
Those people LOVE youtube commenting!
The Supra Turbo was Toyota's high point. Nowadays all they build is rental cars and appliances
Cars that might as well be appliances.
Scion FRS?
I omitted that on purpose because of its econocar-grade performance and levels of interior quality and NVH
Most of Toyota's performance ideals go to Lexus...i.e the LFA, ISF, F sports
ulrek54321 True, that's why it is cool every time I go to Japan I see high performance Toyotas, no Lexus. Us Americans pay a lot more just for that Lexus badging. Same with Acura and Infinity.
It's really sad how rare these are, can't imagine how many people have totaled them, most of them are modified. This will be a classic car in 20 years
+kgisabeast they're worth upwards of 20k some really taken care examples go for 50k+
Ive seen a couple go for close to 100k with low miles and unmodified, the only affordable ones you'll find are the non turbo automatics and even those are expensive
There could be a market for reproduced parts and crate engines like with classic muscle cars. I mean there will be enough demand. you got to think outside the box.
Looking back on this comment, a lot has happened in 3 years
$33,900 in 1992 damn that would be $57,909 in 2015 money!?
Yea because of inflation over the years. For $50,000 I rather buy a nice house for another $50,000 to make it $100,000.
+selerim A nice house for $100k? Out of interest where do you live? That seems very good value.
Here in Houston, Texas. House here from bad condition can goes $40,000, good house for $80,000 and best house from $100,000-$170,000. Any luxury with dock boats go from $300,000-$1,000,000
+selerim An absolute bargain compared to the NSX's $75,000 price tag in 1994 no less with only 270hp and a five speed! Supra's are still the only Toyota's that I love and respect.
+selerim Worth every damn penny! Supra's an amazing car.
I love this old reviews. They're actually reviews.
Give me this, an NSX, and an MR2, all stock mint, and I'm happy.
shawoo Work in the oilfield. Buy them yourself.
Timeless design, timeless performance. Thx MotorWeek
This is the way to build a sports car! I've always said this; I'll say it again....give me a sports car with a *bulletproof well designed engine* (forged internals, iron block, etc), a *bulletproof drivetrain* (handles/transfers 1500+Hp if needed) and a *stiff well balanced chassis* from the FACTORY. If you have these three main areas strengthened, this will serve as a BASIC foundation for a strong tuner car!!
And the Toyota Supra has shown that throughout its years!
A tuner car is bought by 1000 people. Not worth it. It should be "tuned" from the factory.
Fan boy much? Lol
The fuck? Pretty sure these had terrible handling compared to other Japanese sports cars back in the day
@@thefuzzypickle8277 they are in fact too soft
This car beat up on stangs regularly with ease.
Damn these were expensive.
and still are.
Did you reply to yourself?
Even automatic non turbos are up there .
Sure wish motorWeek nitpick on cars today like they did back in the nineties i dont really hear John nitpick at things anymore like you used to which I enjoyed.
Its less of nitpicking and objective remarks, after 90s their reviews got more like advertisements than actual brief run down review.
that car must have dropped jaws in 93. it's so ahead of it's time in terms of looks.
LA Enthusiast it still does it today
As an 11 year old who saw a bright red one in front of the Toyota dealership in 1993 my jaw dropped.
LA Enthusiast not really. It was a cool car but people in those days were big in to exotics and muscle.the supra was ok until fast and furious made it really popular
richard c lol.. I was 17yrs old in 93 & trust me, we absolutely loved the Mark4 Supra
I remember driving by a dealer and seeing them be at 16 just down the street from me. The spoiler on the back looked badass but I thought the tires were kinda skinny looking but then there were corvettes next door at another dealer and those tires were huge back then and there was also a ZR1 but that was back in 91 and I was riding my mongoose FS1
Tenía 18 años cuándo salió este programa, y aún me encanta este TOYOTA SUPRA...Lo mejor de lo mejor.... Saludos desde Guanajuato México.
Are there very many Supras there in Mexico? In Texas, we are said to have many more Supras per person than almost any other place aside from Japan.
This is what I called: a ultimate driving machine and truly classic automobile
Some of the most timeless styling in car history.
The Toyotas I can stand are few and far between - but this thing is a unicorn. Absolutely beautiful - and that engine is legend.
Can we get this over 100,000 views, please?
Done.
***** yes
+rdmccun make that 10 lol
+PussMag No need for a battle. 300ZX, in general, holds it's own. There is probably a retro review on Motor Week. Don't blame the car.
We got you fam
As an automotive enthusiast since childhood, I'm so grateful I grew up during this golden never again era. I had hundreds of magazines that I threw out a few years ago from these wonderful times, and regret it now. Oh well, we'll have these retro videos to keep the memories alive. It's one of the reasons I drive a 2001 Audi S4 B5 as a daily. The prospect of driving it never fails to excite me. There was something different with cars of these years, there was a connection.
Here it is, 20 years later, and the Surpa still looks good to this day!
Over 20 years later and still muscle cars worst nightmare😎😍
Not quite.
Anyone comparing this car to a Camry/Accord needs to do some research. First of all the 320/315 hp/tq Supra TT in almost all the actual road test and comparisons would hit 0-60 in 4.8 - 5.1 secs, 1/4 mile in 13.3 - 13.5 @ 106-108 mph. Not to mention the car had incredible grip .98gs and it's braking record was unmatched for years until Porsche finally beat it. So way back in 93-98 those were some of the best performance figures of any car in it's segment and even above it. The Getrag 6-Speed is as durable as all hell and the 2JZ-GTE engine is a proven tuner legend. I collected all the mags during that time and own a 95 Turbo model myself, so I know what I'm talking about. In stock form I think we all know that it's potential is not even scratching the surface. Because even 20+ years later no new re-badged Accord/Acura or Camry can match 90s model stock Supra performance specs or driving experience. Also one last thing, even stock the car is geared to hit 175-180 mph. Only thing stopping it was the built in speed limiter capping the fun at 155 or so.
gjtt
Those Mustang and Camaro fanboys had no match for this mk4 inline 6 TT back then lol
In 93 I had a 5 speed 5.0 with H pipes and it was fast then. A beautiful green Supra.pulled next to me and we ran to hundred plus. Saw his very futuristic cool lookIng triple taillights getting smaller and smaller. At that moment I knew I had seen something from the FUTURE
Suave House For the cost difference a Mustang or Camaro could be made to dust this overpriced Japcrap EASILY. It would take minimal work for an LT-1 powered Camaro to pass this.....
@@Lucille69caddy this so called Japcrap misnomer came stock with forged internals that could handle 800 hp of boost before building the bottom end . Those turbos could be turned up for cheap . The 2jz was one of the best engines ever made .
@@Lucille69caddy lol u child
Just can't see a supra without a rear wing.
I was shocked to hear it was optional. I don't think I've ever seen on sans wing
brendan2jz They look better wingless.
Bald Supras
@@BoostedInline6 Actually, they Look better with the wing. Same goes for the lower spoiler kits all around .
@@BoostedInline6 agreed but thats probably cuz i play too much san andreas
"Weight saving gone too far by using foam in the trunk"- wow, what a change in time. It just shows how late 90's era car were the peak in quality. today's use of weight saving materials are even more extensive.
No review can do justice to this car. It was beyond its time then and still holds its fort today. Amazing.
The interior of this Supra looks more modern than the current Corolla. Amazing...
+icantw8 Except for the fact that it doesn't.
What's interesting is I notice this Supra's interior is VERY similar to the C7 Corvette in overall design and layout.. Or, I guess I should say the C7's interior is similar the the Supra's :)
Yeah I know. Driver oriented interiors are the best. They make the car that much fun to drive. I don't like how Corolla's interior reminds you that it's an appliance and not an actual car. lol
+icantw8 Please don't just quote Jeremy Clarkson. Supra might be might fun to drive. But the Corolla has a much softer suspension so the ride is in fact better and it has many more creature comforts, though the material choice is cheap. It's quite sad when a Corolla is far more comfortable than Lambos, Ferraris, etc.
TheMarktop have you ever heared of sport suspention/coilovers/dampers/low profile tires? The point of stiffening a car suspention is to prevent body roll around track and to avoid the car to wonder aimlessly and give the car better handling specially at highspeed corners, obviously a corolla is a comfy daily driver not a race car and the fact That your comparing it to supercars is a big lol. And the supras interior btw looks ugly af! BUT! feels good cuz your like in a cockpit.
The styling of this car is so ahead of its time! It actually looks like a 2000's era car.
WHOA, cassette AND a compact disc player?!?!?!?!?!
One of the all-time great releases from any auto manufacturer in my lifetime.
Scotty Kilmer's dream car.
95 Supra Turbo with less than 50k miles. That's my dream 🚗
1993 and it still looks like it was made in 2013. The styling was way ahead of its time for sure. I didn't realize how expensive they were in 1993. That's pretty damn expensive.
This car is STILL gorgeous!
This Supra was a great car!! I own it's competitor '94 RX-7 (points left), but I've always had great respect for this powerful beast. One of the big selling points for me was exterior. While the Supra looks great, it seems a bit porky in my eyes. Not much different from the GTRs styling -- great car but looks are just okay.
Little did anyone know this is the car that honestly started the tuner craze with its awesome 2jz engine. I haven't found one under $25k since 2006. One day I'll get my hands on one of these cars. Anyway, please keep doing these classic reviews, I really enjoy watching these old cars we see today get reviewed when brand new.
For 1993 this car was very modern and very before it’s time. It has a look that still feels modern 31 years later.
Beautiful car that nEver looks outdated!
The Supra, RX-7 and 300ZX looked great then and and still do now. Beautiful designs with simple curves and flowing lines. Timeless. I don't like today's look with sharp lines and angles. Every new front end remindeds me of a Star Wars Stormtrooper helmet.
I don't want to drive a car that trying to resemble a spaceship. Automotive design peaked from the 90's to 2005 in my opinion.
One of the most beautiful cars ever made! I still drool over this! I wish I could find (afford) an unriced example!!!
1993. man what an amazing year for Japanese performance cars. the Supra just came out, along with the final generation RX-7, plus you already had the 300zx, 3000gt and the NSX. if i could go back in time i would go to every dealership and test drive them all. i would buy the RX-7 though.
NSX , Supra, and the Rx7 was the best 90s Japanese cars ever made.
+Taylor Mordoch Agree on NSX & Supra not sure about those rotary engine cars, lol
Umm Skylines?
Slivia? Gtr?
Or the 2nd Gen GSX for us broke people. Lol
Integra Type R which could beat almost anything at tsukuba.
They had no idea how potent the motor was. The stock bottom end will handle 600 hp easy. An american V8 is shorter and will fit in more cars but the 2JZ-GTE is a masterpiece. As a V8 guy I love that motor and wouldn't mind having one. Please don't put one in a Mustang though.
There is a 2JZ Viper out there, look it up on 1320Video's channel.
+Hot Rod Lincoln There is also a really sweet 2JZ-GTE 68 camaro.
EGGINFOOLS Sounds cool, I'll look it up later.
I love watching the old retro Motorweek videos!!! Keep them coming, love the new shows also! Always have my dvr set to record these.
What is it with oil pressure gauges and Motor Week? I'm pretty sure that was already checked by the electronics back then.
Not good!......
Even a base S10 has an oil pressure gauge, why skimp?
A carryover from earlier design ques. Minimal gauges were a sign of a base or stripper model. Some people, like myself, prefer continuous data, not to be alerted after the problem occurs.
Many people did not trust a warning light to come on in an emergency. That is why they preferred mechanical gauges.
John, these retro features are terrific! I haven't missed any of your TV shows from it's inception. Great work!
Love these retro reviews, and this car is timeless! Makes me wish the new one wasn't a restyled BMW
Budget costs. At least it got made unlike the LFA, we’re never gonna get one of those ever again.
@@elmandarin1002 And if Toyota had built the MK5 Supra by themselves, it literally would've had a Price Tag of the Honda NSX and those sold poorly
G29 CURRENT GENERATION BMW Z4 wouldn't had existed without the Supra MK5. Go figure
This car still looks so great today...I bet Toyota could make them just the way it is and they would sell them all. I would buy one in a heartbeat!
Some car's never get old and this is one them for sure this car still looks good after all these years
I loved seeing this car when I was in high school and dreamed of having a drivers license and get my first car!
I suspect a lot of people would never know what a Supra was if not for Fast & Furious lol
Kevin Peterson
were you even alive in the 90s?
Mkiv Supras were raping cars when it came out. They were all over magizane covers. So yeah they were big before F&F.
Gran Turismo surely helped with the fame as well.
Kevin Peterson you sure right but I always knew theses cars was bad ass from since I laid eyes on it back in the days wen I was a kid
I drive a 1985 Supra and my brother had a 1987 Turbo Supra. I love my little car and the attention it gets. There are not many left on the road, and the ones that are are usually riced out lol Mine is bone stock and that's the way she's gonna stay.
Although the Supra was less well known before those movies, it was still well known. That is because many people mentioned it when they also discussed the Nissan 300ZX Twin Turbo and Mazda RX-7 Twin Turbo.
I love these Classic MotorWeek videos with John Davis. Keep em coming!!!
I think those stock 17in rims look beautiful on this car and they dont look small at all....
A savage in the land....a true BEAST!
Toyota Supra - Legend
If Motorweek only knew they were driving an ICON with the strongest resale value of any non specialty car or regular production car!!!
Thanks for posting these retro reviews, Ben. Remember watching these episodes live on MPT!
Can't believe i am saying this but this car is still appealing in 2021.
Man this sucker still looks great!
these cars are still expensive even on craigslist
Damn. I knew these were quick but I want expecting a stock one to be quicker than an LT-1 Vette. What a monster
They are being very cavalier about that awesome classic. Formula 1 handling and timeless styling. A perfect sports car. M3 eat your heart out! The body would appreciate it's perfection and would assimilate it.
Although it's as old as me, I wanna see the road test! 0-60 is really satisfying back to 1993.
And they still command a price today
Lol John's humor at random spots in the reviews is always appreciated
Always my weapon of choice on Need for Speed 1 on the PlayStation.
Y'all should start de-interlacing these old SD videos.
Hmmm, what method do you recommend? Is there an easy way to do this with Final Cut?
Final Cut Studio's deinterlace filter is so-so, and I haven't tried Final Cut X's filter yet. However, my favorite method is to export the video as is from FCP as it is, to MPEG Streamclip. It's free and is really powerful for being so.
www.squared5.com
-Load up the exported FCP file
-Set to h.264
-Set bit-rate to between 8kbps and 10kbps
-Set export size to 720x480
-On the right, tell it to de-interace and turn multi-pass (slower) and b-frames on
-Make sure to turn the "better re-size" on (right check box)
-Click fast start (at bottom -- TH-cam likes this)
Then tell it to go. If you tell it to multi-pass, it will take a while, but the compression looks really good.
I also suggest Handbrake if you don't like Streamclip. If you have compressor, the de-interlace under "frame controls" is pretty decent, but takes tweaking and can be really slow.
Hope this helps!!
Danny Carlin-Weber thanks for the wisdom, I'll give it a go
More than welcome! I've been loving these older reviews. The Japanese cars from that time were awesome.
Danny Carlin-Weber I like HandBrake myself both great programs good advice.
0 to 60 in 5.1 Secs
JDM Fanboys: NoO ThE SuPrA gOeS fRoM 0-60 iN 0.0001 SeCoNdS
I remember this car back in '93. I was in undergrad in college, 21 yrs old. It was an awesome car for the time, ahead of it's time actually, and yes, expensive for '93 dollars. Still the last style Supra produced to date. They need to bring the Supra back.
Outlandish design that looks relevant even today.
My dream car I would rather have this car then almost any other that's out ther.
Delicious looking vehicle.
Even if you take away all the aftermarket support, the Supra is still a solid car. In its stock form, its just the right amount of fast and its incredibly reliable.
Love that dash and gauge setup! So clean and functional.
Sometimes I wish they never used the mk4 supra in F&F. Then they would be much less popular and much cheaper... Oh and probably easier to find. They could have used a Nissan 300zx TT or something else ugh..
MannyFresh1x me too. i got 2 300zx i would be rich now damn.
still one of the best looking cars of all time IMO. And I am far from a Toyota fan. I wish they could bring one back
Absolutely am in love with mine. I'll own one till I die. Looks fabulous in the garage.
When the Legend was born...
And here it is nearly 22 years later and the same 42 grand will buy a faster better handling car than back then. This is why nearly every Japanese sports car, except the Nissan Z, was killed off shortly after. They where too outrageously priced for the times.
$42000 adjusted for inflation is nearly $67000 !!!!!
That's like saying, hey look we can now buy a computer that performs way better than one from 22 years ago for the same price. Come on man, technology advances and the bar gets raised over time.
True, but 22 years ago computers where still a relatively new thing. They cost so much because their technology hadn't matured yet. Cars on the other hand....
my type s cost the same as this car and my numbers stock for stock SHIT all over this car, without twin turbo. so you sir are write! ;)
flappy188 I'd take a N/A Supra over your front wheel drive economy car any day. Also its right, not write.
That car is absolutely stunning to this day, let alone in 93.
Still my dream car. Thanks for this Motorweek.
Raced one in a 93 5.0 Stang in 93 and well he walked me bad. At that moment I knew I saw something from the FUTURE.
best car in the world.
The headlights on the Supra looks like from the current Bugatti Veyron, but slightly bigger.
this generation supra needed bigger headlights and smaller taillights (sarcasm)
The car was designed off the 3rd gen Camaro
The birth of a legend. And only $35k. WOW (even when price-adjusted for 2023).
