Review of Toyota Supra (Mark IV):

Exterior:
The Toyota Supra was first introduced in 1979 as an improved version of the Celica.  Over the years however it became more and more performance oriented until in 1993 the Mark IV was introduced.  This forth generation was the first Supra worthy of a supercar title.  The new body ditched the previous box-like shape for a sleek and curvy coupe design.  Even among supercars today, the Supra stands out as a very unique design.  This is accentuated by a large curving spoiler and aggressive bodywork all around.  Many cars were sold as a targa as well, which meant they had a removable roof section while still keeping most of the rigidity of a full coupe. 
 

Interior: The interior of this Japanese supercar is somewhat bare bones, but it is still functional and comfortable.  The center console is aimed directly at the driver so that the driver can focus solely on the road.  The shifter, pedals, steering wheel and emergency brake are all positioned perfectly as well.  Both the targa and coupe models had two rear seats; however these are rather small and are best saved for children only.  Overall the interior is perfect for a sports car; it is substantial enough to be comfortable, but doesn’t interfere with the driving experience. 

 

Driving: The Toyota Supra is one of the most loved tuner cars of all time, and there is good reason for this.  The engine is amazingly reliable and powerful.  Because it is a Toyota, it is cheap to repair and maintain, however this is no economy car.  The Supra is a serious performance machine.  Turbocharged versions featured revolutionary sequential turbos that helped maintain turbo power without the usual turbo lag.  The engine is not the only good part of this car however.  The stock chassis has been proven in many racing environments and outperformed all of its competitors.  This a true supercar through and through, and in fact completely stock cars with only the speed limiter removed can go over 180 miles per hour. 

If you are in the market for a project car, or a finished tuner, the Supra is a perfect choice as well.  The car is easy to modify and there are many cheap parts available through eBay for this car.  Whether left stock, or modified, the Toyota Supra is a world class supercar.
