The Undisputed King of Tuner Cars

 When you think of Toyota as a car company the first thing that comes to mind is cheap and reliable grocery getters. Toyota is well known for cars like the Camry or Corolla which provide very good gas milage and are super reliable grocery getters. They even made the Prius which is considered by many as the best hybrid car car in the world. However in April of 1993 Toyota would officially start a production of a car that would change the tuner scene forever.




That car was known as the Toyota Mk-4 Supra. It came with an engine that was any tuners dream. It was known as the 2jz-gte. It was an inline six engine that came in two version. There was the 2.5 litre version and 3.0 litre. These engines were highly tuneable and could put out huge horse power numbers reliably and at a very low cost. Although the Supra came stock with a modest 321 horsepower that was a lot for the 90s, with a little tune they were pushing over 1000 horsepower. It was even the main car of the movie the 2 fast 2 furious which helped make it even more famous in the car scene.




Nowadays Toyota Supra Mk-4 has a cult like following. These cars have become a sort of a legend. Tuned Supras beating Supercars that are triple its price  are all over youtube. The mk-4 supra combined elegant looks with one of the best engines that could be tuned to the moon. It was definitely Toyotas masterpiece and will go down in the history books as the undisputed king of tuner cars
