The 1993 model year

Overview

The fourth-generation A80 Supra is the car the nameplate is most famous for. Its twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE inline-six — rated at 320 hp in US twin-turbo form — proved enormously strong and tunable, making the A80 a cornerstone of 1990s tuning and import culture. It arrived in the US for the 1993 model year as a standalone grand tourer.
