About the Toyota Supra A60
The A60-generation Celica Supra marked a significant shift for Toyota, moving the nameplate toward a more sophisticated grand touring identity. In the UK, the 2.8i was the flagship, featuring the 5M-GE twin-cam straight-six which delivered a smooth 178 bhp, more than its contemporary US or Japanese counterparts. It was technically advanced for its era, boasting independent rear suspension tuned with input from Lotus and an optional digital instrument cluster. While it shared its platform with the Celica, the Supra's extended wheelbase and pop-up headlights gave it a distinct, aggressive presence that has made it a cult classic among Japanese car enthusiasts.
