Anotace
It started out with the name Celica Supra, and was officially double-barrelled until 1985. But Toyota fans always knew the big 2+2 coupe as the Supra - and it certainly was a very different car from the ordinary Celica. The first of the models covered in this book are those Mk.II cars, on sale from 1982 to 1985, and they were the ones which really established buyers' expectations of the Supra. There was always something brutal about their appearance, with what looked like add-on wheelarch extensions to suggest a high-performance machine. And the Supra was indeed capable of high performance. Its 2.8-litre overhead-cam six pumped out 168 bhp and delivered exhilarating performance all the way up to 126 mph. With the basics established, Toyota completely redesigned the Supra for 1986. These Mk III cars were smoother and more rounded in shape, but they retained a look which hinted at the power and performance available. With 24-valve, SOHC 3-litre engines of 201 bhp, they were capable of 136 mph and despatched the 0-60 mph yardstick in around 7.5 seconds. But the real revelation came later, with the Supra Turbo of 1989. Bolting a turbocharger to the already-gutsy big six produced 234 bhp, huge torque, and a 0-60 time of a whisker over six seconds. However, there were those who argued that the Supra had become a little too much like a luxury barge. Toyota thought so, too, and the Mk IV introduced at the start of 1993 was a radically redesigned car. Still big, it was lighter and more agile with beautifully precise handling. Its 3-litre engine delivered 220 bhp in standard tune or a massive 320 bhp when equipped with the Twin Turbo option which delivered a genuine 160 mph. This remained Toyota's sports car flagship throughout the 1990s and now, in the 21st century, is still a hugely respected and somewhat exclusive piece of machinery. These big-engined Japanese coupés were impressive machines in their day and helped to establish Toyota as a maker of sporting machinery capable of challenging some of the world's finest. Couple this with the Japanese company's legendary build quality and reliability, and you have a recipe for cars which are compelling buys for enthusiasts today. This is a book of contemporary road & comparison tests, new model introductions, driver's impressions, buying second-hand & track tests. 136 pages, 350 illus including 36 pages of full colour.
