Why it matters

The A70 Supra of 1986 was the first Supra to drop the Celica name and stand as its own high-performance model line. The 3.0 litre turbocharged 7M-GTE gave 230 PS, and the suspension was the four-wheel double-wishbone layout last used by the 2000GT.

History

Toyota renamed the domestic Celica XX as Supra in February 1986. An aerotop model with a detachable front roof joined in June 1986, and in January 1987 a 3.0 turbo limited model with the wide body and blister fenders, previously only on overseas cars, was released.
