History of the Toyota Supra

History of the Toyota Supra

The Toyota Supra was produced from 1979 to 2002 and went through four generations. Originally starting off as a sideline of the Celica, and largely being based on this car, it became a model in its own right when the MK3 arrived in 1982.

The MKIII looked sweet! :drool:

It's amazing how many vehicles started from branching off the Celica.

I still remember that article, don't have the mag anymore though. The MkII was pretty good for its time (1982).

Classic C/D 300ZX Vs SC300 Vs Supra Vs M3

Ha, I remember that article back in the day. Always thought the Supra looked better without wing.

Its always amazed me how a porker like the Supra managed such high levels of grip.

3300lbs isnt that bad for a car its size.

3300lbs isnt that bad for a car its size.

I can't believe we think of 3300 lbs as not bad these days.

2,500hp Toyota Supra

THE ULTIMATE STREET CAR: CHRIS RADO'S 2500HP SUPRA

There was only one car that was fitting enough to end this month's Street Cars & Sleepers theme. And this is it. For the past couple of years, the maniac known as Chris Rado has been devising plans to build his ultimate street car. Of course, for someone who pilots a 2000hp drag car and the Team NFS time attack car, his interpretation of 'ultimate' is somewhat more extreme than what you or I might come up with. For Chris Rado, his ultimate street car is this Toyota Supra. Metal wide-body, custom wheels, custom brakes. And a twin turbo V8 producing 2500hp.

To unveil this stunning street car, we thought it best if Chris Rado walked you through its build.

Chris Rado: As soon as you walk up to the vehicle and see the 6.2 liter Toyota V8 engine and the 76mm billet titanium turbos on the WORLD Racing Supra you soon realize this is definitely not your normal Supra build.

Mike Alejos is point man on this project coordinating many aspects of the build to ensure the Supra meets our standards along with jumping in and getting dirty whenever needed to make this rolling missile come to life.

Robbie Miller from Robbie Miller Racecars is doing all the chassis fab along with engine, transmission, and drivetrain mounting. When it comes to putting a chassis together properly and making things work well, there are few people that can do what Robbie does in his sleep.

It’s a BIG engine… which one you ask? This is a 376 cubic inch Toyota 3UR-FE V8 which can rev to 10,000 RPMs and handle up to 50 lbs of boost. This power plant is typically found in most late model Toyota Tundras and Sequoias.

Brembo Italy worked in conjunction with Race Technologies here in the US to come up with this custom Brembo GT-R kit for our Supra. Let’s remember the above picture is of the 15-inch rear calipers. Just wait until you see what’s up front.

What you see here is just a taste of what's to come; an introduction to the WORLD Racing Top Speed BMF Supra. 2500hp, 3000lb curb weight, 8 cylinders, two billet titanium turbos, and enough wing and rubber that you might just think its an airplane. For those who happen to be in Vegas for SEMA, you can check it out in person. If you dare.
