Development of the A80 Supra began in February 1989, and mass production started in April 1993. It shared its platform with the Soarer, sold in the US as the Lexus SC, yet was more than 13 inches shorter. Toyota put great emphasis on making it a serious high-performance car. This example is a 1993 Supra, right-hand drive, in Alpine Silver Metallic with a manual gearbox.
