1991Toyota Supra

The Supra split from the Celica into a standalone model on the A70 platform, offered with a turbocharged 7M-GTE inline-six. The final US A70 was a 1992 model — there was no 1993 A70 in North America (the A80 took over for 1993).

What changed

  • Toyota retained four A70 powertrain configurations around the naturally aspirated and turbo 3.0-liter engines.

Worth knowing

Notable

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Inspect rust, cooling and fuel systems, age-sensitive rubber, drivetrain operation, and modification quality on the individual car; verify service parts against the exact engine and transmission before ordering.
