1994 Toyota Supra
Engine: 2JZ-0237889
VIN: JT164JAthe details below
Arguably, the Toyota Supra stands as one of the most iconic models in Toyota?s sports car lineup. Equipped with the renowned 2JZ inline-6 engine, producing 220bhp in its naturally aspirated form, the fourth-generation Toyota Supra has undeniably earned its place as a modern classic. Its name, derived from the Latin prefix meaning ?above,? ?to surpass,? or ?go beyond,? signifies its exceptional status. Crafted at the Motomachi Plant in Toyota City, this model represents the closing chapter of an era when these automobiles were exclusively built in Japan.
The Toyota Supra is a legendary figure on both the street and the track, and is admired by enthusiasts of all generations. Its impressive track record in various forms of motorsport has elevated it to a coveted status among JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) aficionados. Upon its release, this iteration of the Supra was swiftly compared to unlikely rivals, including the Porsche 911 and Aston Martin DB7, and it emerged as a cost-effective performer, outshining both in terms of affordability and performance.
This particular New Zealand-new example of the Supra has undergone an extensive list of modifications and maintenance, accompanied by thorough documentation. Such a well-maintained and cherished sports car legend is a rare find that should not be overlooked.
Originally sold in Hamilton by the local Toyota dealer, this Supra has changed hands through six owners, with the current one having held it for the last seven years. Remarkably, only four Supras of this year were delivered to New Zealand. Subsequently, in 2010/ 11, the vehicle received a substantial power upgrade, boosting its output to approximately 600bhp. This transformation was carried out with precision and is well-documented, having been performed by an expert in Christchurch with a deep understanding of this kind of work. The end result is a manual Toyota Supra that maintains its original essence. The Alpine Silver paintwork gleams, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, while the engine bay boasts carbon-fiber features. The vehicle?s soundproofing remains intact, and it includes all original handbooks, factory leather race-style seats, a complete tool kit, a spare wheel, a hatch blind, and even two keys.
While servicing has predominantly been entrusted to a performance shop in Auckland, it?s worth noting that the seller is a qualified motor engineer and has personally contributed to some of the work. A detailed list of the modifications and enhancements made to the vehicle is available upon request.
In summary, this Supra is an extraordinary and exceptional example of its genre, elevating performance to new heights.
The vehicle will be sold registered and with a current WOF.
Estimate: $115, 000-$125, 000 NZD
