Life is short. You've probably got a bucket list full of wild ambitions. Skydiving, building your dream business, traveling the world, or just breaking free from the monotony of a 9-to-5. But here’s a side quest most people don’t even realize they need: flying to Japan for a few weeks and diving deep into the country’s underground car culture. Imagine this, it's midnight in Tokyo. The streets glow under neon signs, and deep in the industrial districts or atop mountain passes, machines awaken. You hear the distant roar of an engine. A convoy of souped-up legends rolls by. Drift circles start in empty parking lots. Custom cars breathe fire through titanium exhausts. You could be an old man sipping a beer, watching from the sidelines, or you could be a young man in the mix. In the heart of all the action? The icon: the Toyota Supra MK4. It feels like a scene from a movie, but it’s real. The smell of burning rubber, the adrenaline of high-speed corners, and the sound of laughter from local crews hanging around their prized builds. This is what freedom looks like with a turbo under the hood.

Toyota Supra MK4

The Toyota Supra MK4 (A80) made its debut in 1993 and instantly broke away from Toyota’s conservative image. The name “Supra,” meaning “above” or “transcending” in Latin, couldn’t be more fitting. With its 3.0L twin-turbocharged inline-six engine the Supra was both a good looking coupe but also a powerhouse in its time. It produced 276 hp (officially) due to the gentleman’s agreement between Japanese manufacturers at the time, but in reality, it pushed 320+ hp. The car could do 0 to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, and had a top speed of around 155 mph (electronically limited).With the limiter removed and proper tuning, the Toyota Supra MK4’s legendary 2JZ engine can push the car to an astonishing 180 mph or more, proving its status as a true supercar in disguise. Its curb weight came in around 3,400 lbs, making it balanced for both speed and handling.

Back in the '90s, you could grab a Supra MK4 for around $40,000 USD. Not cheap, but fair for a car that has so much potential. Fast forward to today, and pristine, low-mileage examples could cost $100,000–$200,000, with special editions or modified legends going even higher. Owning a Supra today could be looked a t as a hobby and a bit of an investment as well.

The MK4 Supra came in several trims and configurations that made it versatile for all types of drivers and tuners. The most desired version was the twin-turbo model, mated to the robust 6-speed Getrag V160 manual transmission. There was also a naturally aspirated version (2JZ-GE), which came with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. For top-down lovers, the Sport Roof (Targa Top) offered a removable roof panel for an open-air experience. In Japan, models like the RZ (turbo, manual), SZ (NA), and GZ (luxury trim) gave buyers a mix of performance and comfort. Each variation carried the DNA of the Supra, raw power, rear-wheel drive, and limitless potential for tuning.

Then came Fast & Furious (2001). When Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) built a bright orange Supra from a junkyard shell into a 10-second car, it burned the image into the minds of an entire generation. The Toyota Supra MK4 made a memorable appearance in 2 Fast 2 Furious as well, driven by the character Slap Jack during the high-stakes opening race scene. Gamers drifted it in Need for Speed, Gran Turismo, and Midnight Club.
