1994 Toyota Supra

Description

The late 1980s and early '90s were a crazy time for the Japanese car industry and for sports cars in particular, with some of the most memorable designs to ever come out of the country before or since introduced from 1985-95. One solid contender for the greatest of all of them is the Mark IV Supra, also known as the A80. While the Supra started as a car based largely on the Celica, it had developed into its own distinct model. 

The most famous ingredient of the A80 Toyota Supra was its engine, the JZ-series straight-six. Eminently tunable, it made 220 horsepower in stock form. 

This particular example is a Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) model, which couldn't be imported to the United States for 25 years following its release, making it considerably rarer than those built for the U.S.-market.
