This year is the year where the automotive world is enlivened by the emergence of classic cars that have wild power. It is hard to deny if the era of Japan Domestic Market (JDM) sports car era of '80 -' 90s is timeless. Call it the Honda NSX, the Mazda RX-7, the Nissan 300ZX, the Mitsubishi 3000GT, the Nissan Skyline GT-R to the Toyota Supra, all of them have even become idols today.
Especially after Nissan revived the GTR and Honda presented the NSX, it seems now is the right time for Toyota to revive one of the car models that has the thickest history, the Toyota Supra. Well, this time the Garage will discuss the history of Toyota cars, namely the Toyota Supra from the beginning began to form until it became a Toyota GR Supra model.
Sejarah mobil Toyota GR Supra
The history of the Toyota Supra began in 1978 where for the first time the Mark I or MK I model was born in Japan. The base model of the Toyota Supra car which eventually became the Toyota GR Supra is now the development of a Toyota Celica Liftback sports coupe model. The Toyota Celica Liftback car itself is a fastback coupe style car model which was produced from 1978 to 1981 and began to be exported out of Japan in 1979 for its first generation.
The presence of the first generation of the Toyota Supra car, is still a family with the Toyota Celica called the Toyota Celica Supra or Celica XX. There were three types of engines that were used at the time of the Toyota Supra car coded as A40, M-EU 1,998 cc, 4M-E 2,563 cc and 5M-E 2,759 cc. All three are present in a six-cylinder inline piston configuration. For three years since its emergence, Toyota made changes and redevelopment of the Toyota Supra MK I model so that the Toyota Supra MK II Celica XX was born with the A60 chassis code.
Toyota Supra MK II
The presence of the Toyota Supra MK II car with the A60 chassis code is quite successful. The car model is recognized by global markets such as in the European Continent and Great Britain because it won the US Grand Prix in 1979 and the British Saloon Car Championship.
Induction-powered engine was first introduced in the Toyota Supra Mark II or MK II through the M-TEU 1,998 cc Turbocharger and M-TE 1,998 cc Turbocharger. The other four 1G-EU and 1G-GEU 1,998 cc and 5M-E and 5M-GE 2,759 cc come with Normally Aspirated (N / A) inline six cylinders.
The separation of the Toyota Supra from the Celica family had made this third generation Supra present late on the market. Toyota is rejuvenating the Toyota Supra with this A60 chassis code. Unlike the previous model, the most striking changes to the MK III model can be seen from the main lights that use the pop up model. At that time, the model of pop-up lights could be said to be mandatory in every sports car.
But at that time, the Toyota Supra really became a new sports model in the Toyota car line. Moreover, the Toyota Supra maintains a rear wheel drive system, while Celica becomes a front wheel drive car. Behind the bonnet, the Toyota Supra car still uses a 6-cylinder inline engine, this time with a capacity of 3.0 liters that is able to devote power to 200 hp and 266 Nm of torque.
The Toyota Supra Turbo was introduced in 1987 and already has an intercooled, turbo with a 3.0 liter 6-cylinder engine powered 230 horsepower. Supra Turbo also has an integrated engine oil cooler and rear spoiler, limited slip differential (LSD), TEMS, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS). But this year only 1,000 models were produced. There wasn't much change until the release of Supra Mark IV in 1992.
The 4th generation Toyota Supra or MK IV is the most remembered Supra of all time. With its performance and fame in both the racing and silver screens, the Supra MK IV is one of Toyota's most popular sports cars. The engineers at Toyota really focus on making this Supra a great sports car, it's no wonder that in terms of weight, the Supra is even lighter up to 100 kg compared to the previous model.
Toyota even upgraded the Supra engine by increasing its power output to 320 hp at 5600 rpm. The Toyota Supra Mark IV (A80) is powered by a Toyota 2JZ-GE mainstay engine that spits out 220 hp at 5800 RPM with two choices of 6-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission. Supra Mark IV is also produced with a choice of Twin Turbo engine, the Toyota 2JZ-GTE that can shoot 276 hp.
Turbocharged variants can reach 0-100 km / h in 4.6. seconds and 13.1 seconds at a distance of 402 m with a top speed of 175 km / h. The turbo version has a top speed of 285 km / h, but the car is limited to only 180 km / h in Japan and 250 km / h elsewhere. The twin turbo engine in a Toyota Supra car functions sequentially, the first turbo will work at a low RPM and the second turbo works at high rpm so the energy expended is more efficient.
However, unfortunately, Toyota had to inject a dead Toyota Supra car in 2002 due to exhaust emissions regulations. Lots of automotive lovers who are grieving because they will not be able to see the further development of the legendary car model.
In accordance with tradition from generation to generation, Toyota GR Supra cars still use rear-wheel drive engines. It turned out that Toyota did not want to be lost so that Supra fans could still feel the historical essence of this legendary car. Especially for the fifth generation, the Toyota Supra 2019 offers three power choices, namely the 3,000 cc 6-cylinder inline Twin Scroll Turbocharger engine and the other two applying 2,000 cc turbo.
Now, about the price, to get this car you have to spend enough money because the Toyota GR Supra is priced at nearly 2 billion OTR Jakarta.
