The sequential twin-turbo engine propelled the Supra to 4.5 second 0-60 times with 13 second quarter miles and jaw-dropping handling. In addition to the robust power on tap from the 3.0 liter 320 hp 2JZ-GTE engine, the 6-speed Getrag manual transmission was a great addition to the driving experience. Aluminum components were used throughout the car to lighten weight including cast alloy front A-arms, an aluminum hood, aluminum front cross member, and numerous alloy transmission parts, all of which lightened the car by nearly 200 lbs. from the previous third generation Supra.

The rare Anthracite Metallic paint remains in excellent condition with beautiful gloss to the factory finish, showing no significant scratches or blemishes of note. The finish has been digitally metered, returning numbers consistent with original paint as displayed on all exterior metal surfaces. The front and rear bumper cap were painted to match for cosmetic freshening in 2018. Fit of the doors, hood, and rear hatchback are excellent opening and closing with Toyota precision. The cast alloy wheels are in very good condition with a few minor curb marks, but still displaying the correct factory painted silver finish, earing Bridgestone Potenza tires showing plenty of remaining tread. The body-colored bumpers, side view mirrors, and unique headlight clusters are all in excellent condition. The glass throughout the car is original and in excellent condition. According to several sources, the Anthracite/tan interior 6-speed cars are very rare with only 95 produced for the 1994 year of manufacture. Inside, the car has been optioned with rare tan leather interior. Accentuated by the sweeping black dashboard and center console, the interior is in excellent condition offering a cohesive appearance to the materials and generally very good condition to the leather seats and various trim, with only one minor note of wear evident to the driver’s lower seat bolster and armrest area. The dashboard and assorted instrumentation contribute to the high-performance nature of this car with multiple gauges, including a Greddy Turbo boost gauge installed in place of the digital clock. The 6-speed manual gearshift, factory optional premium audio, and comfortable ergonomic layout of all features make for a very refined performance cockpit. The condition of the carpeting, door panels, and other interior surfaces is excellent throughout with no major issues. The rear hatch carpeting is in very good condition with most factory accessories in place under the rear carpet section. Under the hood, the twin-turbocharged 2JZ-GTE engine is clean and nicely detailed with only minor modifications from stock. Services have been consistent and regular, performed primarily by the owner, an avid car enthusiast and capable mechanic. The underside is clean, very tidy, and reflective of indoor storage and low miles. The Greddy exhaust, shock absorbers, aftermarket sway bars, and braided stainless steel brake lines are minor performance upgrades which can be easily reversed should the next owner decide to do so. There is no evidence of structural damage or compromise to the floor or suspension anchor points. The recently received accident-free Carfax shows no issues, single ownership, and mileage consistent with owner recorded services. Mechanically the car performs in keeping with the original specs Toyota demanded when new. It’s hard to imagine how impressive these cars were in 1994 when new, but the performance still lives up to the lofty standards set nearly 30 years ago. No wonder collectors and enthusiasts are clamoring for original low mile examples of the fourth generation Supra – with its 6-speed manual gearbox and 320hp engine, performance remains on a par with some of the top sports cars of the era.Items Included with the CarThe car is accompanied by the original owner’s manual, two Toyota Repair Manuals (Vol 1 and 2), Toyota electrical wiring diagram book (1994 Model), two owner notebooks with reference notation for the entire period of ownership and services performed on the car, the rear cloth hatch interior cover, a front and rear sway bar (believed to be factory original), and the original factory exhaust system.
