Details
Ignored general public, Toyota Supra however made shiver more one impassioned of sport scars. Before 1993, this large half-compartment with the lines tended to the extreme and retractable optics (symbolic system impossible to circumvent of the time) competed with lower costs the Mercedes half-compartments and another BMW 850 of prestige. Since 1994, the style is modernized, the technique is refined and here our Supra sufficiently powerful to go nicely to tease Porsche 928! One crowned reference… It will think of it that this type of car, exclusive with possible, does not meet with all the corners of street and that it is necessary to be armed with patience to find this frightening partner on the second-hand market.
Presentation
Its visual filiation with very famous Porsche is far from being innocent. Like it, Supra raises superb expressive roundnesses. Like it, its broad and massive hips maintain an impression power contained. Since the car has the means of them, to as much present a revealing calling card of its temperament. More exotic however, Toyota does not make in sobriety; she does not refuse any stylistic device: a multitude of round fires illuminates a back, itself overcome of an enormous aileron. The interior decoration of Supra is not more reassuring with the eyes of a gendarme in faction: conveys or plane? The such cockpit of a hunter, the panel instrument girdles the pilot literally. Levers in any kind and various instrumentations are at its disposal.
Control
Installed as well as possible on board this half-compartment 2+2, the driver will not immediately feel the frank sporting provisions of the car. No the feeling " piece of bois" on the level of the suspensions, no exacerbated susceptibility on behalf of the accelerator pedal, Supra can behave in a very courteous way. There would be almost what to wonder about the utility of the system anti-ice-skating déconnectable… Patience, true Supra can also make you cross 250 km/h. Blow, it encourages the majority of the drivers to humility. Whoever will be found behind its wheel, will suddenly take care to respect some concepts of fast control in turn. Jumping with ease of points of cord at exits of curve (and taking into account its stoutness) the car reveals an impressive faculty to be transformed into nimble racing car. Limits pushed back on board a vehicle to lead nevertheless in all full knowledge of the facts.
Safety/performances
Simple 6 cylinders, will say? Admittedly, but this 3 liters acknowledges 330 ch under the hot breath from its two turbos. If the kick with the buttocks is ensured, the virility of this mechanics remains in spite of very acceptable. Be wary however of the inevitable response time of the turbos during the go-around in turns. More impressive still than its maximum top speed, the resumptions of Supra are époustouflantes. Having a remarkable value of engine torque the car benefits jointly from the perfect staging of its transmission with six reports/ratios. From a simple pressure of the right foot or a rétrogradage forerunner, the car disappears so quickly that the time clerks of passage do not even have time to leave their instrument. Hold, the 928 and its V8 has just arrived…You can find a French forum specialized on Toyota Supra at this address:
