Honestly the best Supra. I'm glad everyone's going gaga over the 4th gen, so the 3rd gen stays cheap.

When Japanese car companies were really passionate about driving and performance... I want one!

Proud owner of my 1988 Mk3 Supra Turbo 5spd! Toyota Supra - Legend

As a new 88' NA Supra owner I can say this body roll is very real lol. I'm thinking about getting some aftermarket swaybars put on and MAYBE coilovers too. Other than that it's pretty much the coolest car I've ever seen or owned. It looks absolutely stunning from the outside and inside IMO is better than the vast majority of cars new or old. The seats are legendary. This baby turns heads. EDIT: Have since put on Fortune 500 coilovers and a quality front swaybar, all new end link cables, and a rear strut brace myself. It's like an entirely new car, it handles like a dream.

Toyota's over engineering era, wonderful car.

My parents were Toyota owners when I was kid so when we went to the dealer, I'd always get the latest brochures. I used to stare at the Supra with lust in my eyes. I loved that car.

When Toyota was innovative. Love those classic videos.

When cars had character.

This is Toyota's most beautiful car ever to me...

6:42 "...but is it able competition for the likes of Mustangs and Camaros, well not current designs, but maybe future ones..." - John Davis Well spoken Mr. Davis.

Love the interior. Very nicely designed and stands up for me even today. Great car!

The head gasket on the 7m was already blown during the making of this video.

I miss pop-up headlights...

Screw the Mustangs and Camaros of that time. This is the car I lusted after. Just out of high school and driving a '75 Pinto I could only dream of driving this car. Oh, and love the porno 'staches and satin jackets on the test crew.

they used to have such beutiful cars.

$18K was a buttload of money in '86...about $41K in 2018 dollars.

Wtf? That Supra had more lean than a pirate ship. LOL Love the classic Motorweeks, when cars had their OWN unique styling... Unlike, the plasticy clone jelly beans of today. Back when Toyota was a FUN energetic company who produced cars drivers WANTED... Back in 86, they had this gen Supra, the Celica GTS, the 1st gen MR2, and the last of the RWD Corollas... The Corolla GTS(ae86). What the heck happened, Toyota?? Now, you make boring, geriatric cars for old farts. Not ONE sporty coupe in Toyotas new lineup. Pathetic.

Arguably Toyotas greatest achievement the Supra, what a classic, thx MotorWeek!

I wish this was a review on the turbo

That body roll is ridiculous lol

That suspension hop in the corners was crazy

Ill never understanderstan how a mere human can construct something so sophisticated!

keep up these retro videos Motorweek!

Supra 5 speed gearbox was one of the best of its era. I remember alot of the guys modding this box into other cars.

Just open a MW classics channel. As a life time resident of the same old line state this would be great.

memories memories here. My uncle brought home one just like in this video when I was a teen. Loved that car and it was so different back then. I went on to have 4 supras myself. A 85, 89, 92 turbo and 89 turbo. My 92 turbo had bolt on upgrades and was making around 300hp or so. The 89 turbo had a fully built engine and bigger turbo. It was making around 420hp@ 15PSI. The setup probably had 500+hp in it though.

Things really got exciting in the Mark III when they switched from the L series engine to the 1JZ we all know and love.

My first car! I loved my '87 Supra.

Love these. I watched some of these when they first came out.

my brother had one of these ,same color with the turbo and 5spd..he put stiffer and lower springs on it, better roll bars and an HKS exhaust and variable boost.. it was a beast! the springs and roll bars kept it stiff and flat..the boost turned up gave the heavy car a light on its feet feel and power oversteer at will..the exhaust sounded awesome...the damn shifter still looks like a butter churn though!

I loved the Supra and the Mitsubishi Starion back then…both good looking cars.

That car came out when I was 18 and It still looks awesome. Looks better than many of today’s cars.

I wish Toyota made these kind of cars again and forgot the hybrid non sense

I'd love to see you do a review in this style again MW! So concise!

Nice, it was a trip down memory lane for me and my old '88 Supra Turbo Targa. It was even the same color as mine. Any chance of posting the "Turbo's" road test review?

Watching that thing bouncing around corners is incredible! That used to be great handling.

Bested by alot of American cars from the time, but that interior was ahead of its time.

Man, these are my favorite version of the Supras. I almost got a beautiful turbo one back in the day, it couldn't work the deal.

My sister had an 89 turbo Supra. It was silver with a targa top. Holy crap that thing was fast! She would let me drive it on the weekends and I smoked every car in the county. It ate Corvettes for breakfast and there were a lot of embarrased Mustang drivers. I had a lot of fun in that car!

i love this generation Supra...looks so classy, and i love that ol 3.0 liter 6.

Love this car. Never could afford it but loved it anyway.

The cars from my childhood brought me here!

Thank you so much for this video!

This guy does not age.

I wish I could buy one of these new today.

Damn this car was far superior than anything coming out of the US and most of Europe back then! Super loaded and great looking. It's like a 928 Porsche but reliable hehehe

I didn't know about the extra radio antenna below the defogger on the hatch glass. I learned something after 23 years of driving a 1987 Turbo. Turbo cars came with ABS brakes. 0 to 60 is 6.5 seconds. It's overweight to be a nimble sports car. It's more about balanced style and performance than all out performance. I have the C's short shifter from Japan. Cost $250. I also have the Super monitor which was a $250 option over the stock clock. Many functions like fuel economy mpg, trip timers, when to change the oil. It was discontinued after 1988.

Thats a 86 1/2 model. I used to have one. Supra good looking car. The inline 6 is supra smooth and so is the 5-speed manual. The soft suspension and low front made it easy to sustain damage. All in all a very nice car.

keep these flashbacks coming! i fuckin love them. i wanna drive them all

Caraca os carros da década de 90 são muito da hora 😁👍👍 imagina como é motor desse carro 👍

I owned one late 80s. It had a fatal flaw. The head bolts would come loose and leak coolant into the cylinders. First time it happed to me I had it fixed. Luckily it did not damage the engine. The second time I drove it to the toyota dealer and trade it for a new tacoma. Loved the car though.that straight 6 was awesome. Beautiful body style.

Used to sell these in 86. First one I sold was totaled an hour later.

I've always wanted one of these

Love those retro shiny jackets

Who else thinks BMW ripped off Supra design for its 8 series?

Jeez, I thought my suspension was shot. I guess that’s how it’s supposed to be 😂

I dont have anyone to watcb this with. Such a great show. Wonderful american entrtnmt

I'd seriously consider taking one of those front seats out for a drink

I believe this chassis was actually designated 1986 1/2 . There was a 86 version of the previos gen., third brake light and all.

I miss the days of seeing Supras new on the road! I started driving in the 90s and I miss those days. Todays Toyota/Honda companies make nothing more than dull econo snooze boxes. I know this was the 80s but man, the supra were just wow as a young kid back then! Those fun car companies make nothing to wow over anymore. Sad. Oh did you see that badass corolla? ROFL yah right.

Still cool in 2018 They are now seen few here in Japan

that front end is super nice

My personal favorite car👍

Interior is fab.

My favorite Supra design. I had an ‘88 Prelude but wished I bought this instead.

I love that car..!! ;)

The 3rd gen Supra that you really want was only made in Japan, but you can now legally import it. 1991 Supra 2.5 R, had the twin turbo 1JZ-GTE engine under the hood, made "276" hp. Its bascially a 2.5 liter displacement version of the 3.0 liter 2JZ-GTE in the Mark IV Supra. You can use all the same hot-rodding tricks and parts to make huge horsepower.

Great car, great performance,

Song at 3:56 is 'Everything She Does is Magic' by The Police. I think.

The A70 is a GT car, not a pure sports car and it's a heavy one with high tech environment and amenities ahead of it's time. Nothing is perfect. But still is the most successful Supra model ever made according sale numbers! If it was available in the JZA70 trim model outside Japan it would have blown away the competition back in 1990 across USA and Europe. A stock mk3 Supra just needs some coil overs and wheels. Same for the mk2! But the mk4 needs a lot more regarding looks.

Damn you see that thing bouncing around the track

This car looks better than most new cars of today.

Ok, got one with 20k miles? I' lltake it!! I use to work at Honda Dealership, They got one of these Supras in, an 87 model, I use to sit in it & imagine it being mine. But IO also did that with the Conquest Tsi, the Iroc & The Mustang 5.0 too as well as the new 88 Prelude Si's too haha. I loved being able to test drive any car on the lot new or used.

Was my dream car but could only afford the Celica at the time

My neighbor had the Celica Supra, 84's I think. They were all stick and and fun to drive. He always bought these cars and drove them until they rusted out. He'd go to California or Az and find another 1 to replace the rusty 1's...

"not current designs, but maybe future ones" lol how right he was!

This is awesome.

Wow that thing bounces in turns

Love driving my mk3 Supra

Love these old reviews. Compared to cars today this car is all over the track....lol

CLASSIC

I remember wanting one of these back in the day, but my broke ass was outta luck.

When I was 18, in 2000, I bought a used 1987 Supra Turbo, Liked it so much I got a 2nd one. Sold them when I had my son. Now I only go for Toyotas, best reliability & I can work on them myself. Currently working on a 1994 Celica gt and a 1985 4runner SR5 I can't recommend them enough, I've owned 29 cars in my lifetime & have had almost every make. So I've owned more than 1 brand of vehicle in my life. Hell, my 2nd car at 16 was a 1979 Camaro, then I had a 1979 Trans Am, a 1985 Monte Carlo SS, and a 1977 Trans Am before getting my 1st Supra.

This is the toyota I knew, an economy car that was interesting and heavy on value. Theres something curious and enjoyable about uber economical cars of the past.

omg I use to work at a Honda dealrship .. They got the 86-88 Supras in occasionally, I sue to sit in them & dream of owning one.

For me the Supra MKIII ist one of the three most beautilful cars ever, together with the Porsche 911 and the Mercedes 300 SL gullwing.

Oaft that bouncey suspension on track 😂

My modded 7MGTE did 121 in the 1/4 mile!

wish there was a review of the mk3 supra 1989+ turbo

I miss my 1989 white on white turbo. RIP my beloved Supra.....

Did MotorWeek ever review the turbo variant of the third gen Supra?

Would love to see an FC RX7 review.

The pre-supercar, but post-Celica trim level Supra. Maybe a nice collectible.

Favorite supra

I am so proud of my 1991 toyota supra.i. am originally 3rd owner...i am looking for one more supra this time targa top if i can find it

7mgte, still running 💨 Stock, besides my 2.5 inch straight pipe. 202340 miles

I Had a 1989 in the Early 1990s. Best Car I Ever Had, I Miss It.

Man, I miss the Celica and Supra so much. Toyota needs to bring back both of those names as well as the dragon logo.

The only thing that makes me sad when watching these is how much better the retro motorweek is than the newer versions

A very fun car to drive.
