Description
The Toyota Supra JZA80 is a sports car and grand tourer manufactured between 1993 and 2002. The A80 program began in February 1989 under various teams for design, product planning, and engineering. By the middle of 1990, a final A80 design concept from Toyota Technical Centre Aichi was approved and frozen for production in late 1990. The first test mules were hand-built in A70 bodies during late 1990, followed by the first A80 prototypes being hand-assembled in 1991. Again using sub-frame, suspension, and drive-train assemblies from the Z30 Soarer (Lexus SC300/400), pre-production of the test models started in December 1992 with 20 units and official mass production began in April 1993. The fourth generation of the Supra again shared its platform with the upscale Soarer coupé, sold in the U.S. as the Lexus SC. However, the two cars looked nothing alike and the Supra was more than 13″ (340mm) shorter than its luxurious cousin. Production continued in Japan until August 2002, ceasing owing to restrictive emission standards. A 1:18 Solido model with opening doors.
