Tamiya 24123 Toyota Supra

Toyota Supra is a Japanese sports passenger car that was first presented to the public in 1978. Its serial production started in the same year and lasted until 2002. The production of the next generation of this model will probably be launched in 2018 or 2019. In the period 1978-2002, the car was powered by a relatively narrow range of 6-cylinder gasoline engines - depending on the version - with a capacity of 2.0 to 3.0 liters.

The Supra model was developed and put into mass production by the automotive concern Toyota Motor Corporation, initially as an improved version of the Celica model. The new car was designed to compete with the Nissan Fairlady Z cars on the market. Initially, the Toyota Supra was primarily intended for the Japanese and North American markets. In the course of production, in the years 1978-2002, four generations of the Supra model were created, which only from the third generation (produced in 1986-1993) began to be offered as a completely independent model. It also began to differ significantly structurally from the Toyota Celica. The production of the 5th generation is to start in 2018 or 2019.
