Toyota Supra

Toyota Supra is a sports car / Grand Tourer, which was produced by Toyota Motor from 1979 to 2002. Style Toyota Supra was derived from the Toyota Celica, but it was also longer and wider. Since mid-1986, Supra (third-generation, Mark III) has its own model and was no longer based on the Celica. In turn, Toyota also stopped using the prefix Celica and began just calling the car Supra. Because of the similarity and past the name of the Celica, it is often mistaken for the Toyota Supra, and vice versa.

Supra also traces much of its roots in the Toyota 2000GT with the primary instance is its engine. The first three generations were offered with a direct descendant of the Toyota Crown and to the motor M in the 2000GT. All four generations of Supra production have built 6-cylinder engine. The interior dimensions were similar, as was the chassis code "A".

Along with this name and car Toyota also included its own logo for the Supra. It is derived from the original logo, Celica, being blue instead of orange. This logo was used until January 1986 when the Supra Mark III was introduced. The new logo was similar in size, with orange writing on a red background, but without the dragon design. This logo, in turn, was on Supras until 1991 when Toyota switched to the current oval company logo. (Logo dragon logo Celica, regardless of what color he was. She appeared on the first two generations of Supra, because they were officially Toyota Celicas. Dragon logo has been used to line Celica, until it too was abandoned.)

In 1998, Toyota ceased sales Supra in the United States [5] and in 2002 Toyota officially stopped production Supra in Japan.
