Have you ever taken a look back in time at the history of the iconic Toyota Supra near Orlando? This sports car was a major fan favorite the entire time it was in production, and we still have fans clamoring for a comeback to this day. Toyota of Clermont is taking a jaunt back in history to see where this new Toyota sports car near Orlando got its start, and to watch its evolution into a performance-driven race maven. Let’s get started!
Take a look at where the Toyota Supra got its start!
The Toyota Supra near Orlando was initially brought into the market way back in 1979 (it was up for grabs in Japan about a year before that). It was meant to be a roomier and more powerful option for fans of the Toyota Celica, and was actually first call the Toyota Supra Celica. This new Toyota sports car near Orlando turned heads the instant it hit the pavement!
The first generation of the Toyota Supra near Orlando packed a 2.6L engine that offered 110 horsepower and a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission option. The second generation, which was introduced in 1982, took things up a notch with a new engine that offered 145 horsepower. It could get from 0-60 in under ten seconds!
The second generation of this new Toyota near Orlando also introduced a big of a makeover – it was bigger, more angular, and had a longer wheelbase. By 1986, it had dropped the “Celica” from its name and also got a bigger, more performance-based engine that offered 200 horsepower. Incredible, right?
Just one year later in 1987, the new Toyota Supra near Orlando got a turbocharged engine to REALLY take things up a notch. 1993 brought a whole new type of performance to this Toyota sports car, though… it got a twin turbo engine under the hood that ratcheted things up to 320 horsepower! Talk about a sports car – this incredible vehicle now also got a complete redesign to make its appearance match its performance. This was definitely the heyday of the Toyota Supra near Orlando!
Will the Toyota Supra sports car near Orlando reemerge in the future?
However, the Toyota Supra’s reign had to come to an end eventually, and Toyota decided to retire the supercar in 2000. Since then, fans have been begging for a rerelease and we’re eager to see if Toyota decides to oblige sometime in the future… after all, they are working on a collaboration with BMW!
