The fourth generation of the Supra was the one that transformed the sporty coupe built by Toyota into a cult car and launched it onto the silver screen.
At the beginning of the '90s, the world was boiling. More people started to ask for higher performance but still reasonably-priced vehicles. Apart from the rally-specced Celica, Toyota also offered the Supra IV, which entered the competition against Porsche 968, Nissan 300ZX Turbo, or the Corvette LT1, to name just a few.
Designed in the traditional way of a GT, with a long hood and swept-back rear end, the Supra IV impressed with its low stance and big headlights covered under a clear lens. Its lower grille, placed in the apron, was the one that ensured the cooling, while the side scoops were for the front rotors. On the turbocharged version, the carmaker added an air intake on the hood for selected markets. In front of the rear wheels, Toyota placed an additional set of air-intakes, while at the back, a huge wing adorned the tailgate. The car's muscular look transformed it into an evergreen in the automotive industry. It never looked old.
The interior was good enough for two people on the front bucket seats with high-bolstered areas. There was a bench in the back, but the tiny room left there was hardly enough for adult-sized occupants. Unusually, the instrument cluster featured a wide tachometer in the middle, while the speedometer flanked its right. The fuel gauge took most of the left dial, while the temperature was shown in a smaller area. With its dashboard wrapped around the left seat, there was no mistake that it was a driver's car. Yet, Toyota offered it with a standard airbag for the right passenger.
Under the hood, the carmaker dropped the famous 2JZ inline-six engine, either naturally aspirated or twin-turbocharged. Toyota paired the former to a five-speed manual while mated the latter to a six-speed row-your-own gearbox. A four-speed automatic transmission was on the options list for both powerplants.
