Silver Bullet: Toyota Supra (Mk4)

With plans to combat and outshine the popular Datsun (now Nissan) Z-car in the late 1970s, Toyota introduced a remake of their popular Celica to the west. Brought to the USA in 1979, this new flagship sports car was given the badge of Celica Supra Mark 1. New to the Toyota lineup was a 2.6-liter, inline-6 cylinder, 12-valve, SOHC motor (known as the 4M-E) boasting an impressive 110hp. Furthermore, this was the first motor that Toyota featured with electronic fuel injection – an innovative engineering feat in its day. Just over a decade later, Toyota introduced what would be the last and quite possibly the most sought after Japanese sports car in the 20th century with the Mark 4 (Mk4). This sleek-lined coupe was completely revolutionary when introduced as a 1993.5 model boasting a 2.6-liter, sequential twin turbo charged inline-6 cylinder motor tagged as the 2JZ-GTE and producing 320bhp.
