Toyota Supra 1978
Production year: 1978
No. of produced cars: Information not available at the moment.
The first generation Supra was based largely upon the Toyota Celica liftback, but was longer by 129.5 mm. The doors and rear section were shared with the Celica but the front panels were elongated to accommodate the Inline-6 instead of the stock Celica’s 4-cylinder engine. Toyota’s original plan for the Supra at this time was to make it a competitor to the very popular Datsun (now Nissan) Z-car.
