Introduction to the MK4 Supra
If you’re still reeling from Toyota’s collaboration with BMW for the MK5 Supra, it may be time to revisit the legendary A80 model. This iconic MK4 Supra, enhanced with a rare widebody kit from the Japanese tuner Abflug, embodies the unmistakable flair of the 1990s. It is set to take center stage at the classic sale hosted by renowned auctioneers on December 7 at the Warwickshire Event Centre.
A Glimpse into the Specifications
This modified MK4 Supra boasts a guide price of £20,000 to £25,000. While this may appear steep, the vehicle is powered by a robust 3.0-litre twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE inline-six engine, upgraded to deliver an impressive 400bhp. However, it is equipped with a somewhat dated four-speed automatic gearbox that may raise eyebrows among performance enthusiasts.
Unique Features and Appeal
Among its distinctive attributes, a nitrous bottle resides in the boot, although it remains unclear whether it has ever been fully operational. The widebody kit by Abflug and the sizable Greddy exhaust both echo a unique aesthetic from the era, providing the MK4 Supra with a rare visual impact. It’s worth noting, though, that the white leather Simoni racing steering wheel might not be to everyone’s taste. This particular model, with 76,000 miles on the odometer, originally came from Japan and was first registered in 1993. Having been imported to the UK in 2004, this well-maintained Supra has garnered attention since its acquisition by the current owner in 2020.
In summary, if you find yourself with £20,000 to spare and a fervent desire for nostalgia, this MK4 Supra could be your ticket back to an unforgettable era in automotive history.
