By Michael J. Moody 12 months ago

Toyota Supra Turbo

The fourth-generation Toyota Supra was unveiled at the 1993 Chicago Motor Show and showcased a look that seemed at odds with Supras of the past and more a homage to the 2000GT. In twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre guise, the Supra offered supercar levels of performance and was fitted with Toyota’s first six-speed gearbox. This 1997 Supra Turbo has some choice aftermarket modifications.
