Toyota Supra Futured Performance

Though not currently in production, the Toyota Supra remains one of Toyota's most popular models with performance enthusiasts. Available through much of the 1980s and '90s, the Supra was the company's flagship sport coupe. Designed to be more of a grand-touring coupe than a hard-edged sports car, the Supra rewarded owners with its easy-to-drive nature and powerful engines. It also pioneered new technologies -- it was the first Toyota to get electronic fuel injection and the first Toyota in America to have both a turbocharged engine and antilock brakes.

Few people probably remember that the Toyota Supra actually started life as an enhanced-performance spin-off of the Celica. Known as the Celica Supra, this model was based on the old rear-wheel-drive Celica hatchback of the late '70s. Compared to its less-expensive sibling, the Supra featured an inline six-cylinder engine and more features. It first became its own distinct model in 1986 when the third-generation Supra debuted.
