The market arrival of the 2020 Toyota Supra means that the previous incarnation of the sportscar is enjoying more and more attention these days. Of course, there are also Mk IV units out there that don't rely on a 2JZ to get around put on a show and the one that brought us here is an example as good as any.
This Supra still has a straight-six in its engine compartment, but this doesn't rely on spark plugs anymore. We're talking about a Mercedes-Benz OM606 diesel.
The 3.0-liter inline-six packs hefty torque, as highlighted by the burnout the sportscar demonstrates in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page.
Of course, burning oil means this Toyota sounds and looks like no other Mk IV pulling a burnout. As far as the decibel side of the adventure is concerned, there's no doubt about the diesel powerplant, but with the engine having been modded, its voice is uber-aggressive.
On the visual level, the typical black smoke that now comes out the back of the machine easily rivals the tire smoke resulted from the said burnout. So this one will upset go-fast lover and environmentalists alike.
Of course, this build will split opinions, but we have to keep in mind that knowing the complete background of the vehicle is required before reaching a conclusion.
For instance, we've recently talked about another Mk IV Supra diesel swap, but the owner of the car showed that the 2JZ had already left its shell when the gear head purchased it.
As such, the aficionado wanted to stray far from the pack, so he installed a Cummins diesel and lifted the vehicle. The latter move welcomed the contraption to the jportscar (jacked-up sportscar) club, which is gaining more and more traction by the season, but this is another story for another time.
