The 1996 Toyota Supra (A80) is a coupe sports car manufactured by Toyota for export markets outside of Japan.
The A80 generation is significantly lighter than the previous A70 generation, employing the use of aluminium for the bonnet, and some suspension components, as well as a plastic fuel tank cover and a magnesium steering wheel.
Going on sale in May 1993 as the fourth generation (A80) Supra, it was only fitted with a 3.0-litre inline-six but was offered as either naturally aspirated (2JZ-GE) or twin-turbocharged (2JZ-GTE), and was available with a hard top or a removeable targa top referred to as the "Aerotop".
Although naturally aspirated, it is fitted with a specifically designed intake system teamed with a split exhaust to reduce back pressure applied to the engine, and was also offered with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic gearbox.
In export markets, it was sold until August 1999, although revisions introduced in May 1996 creating a differentiation between "Series 1" and "Series 2" models. Later models were equipped with a varying number of airbags, different interior materials, two additional gauges in the instrument cluster, and a small bar across the front bumper's air vent.
In the Japanese domestic market, it was sold from May 1993 to July 2002 with a twin-turbo induction for "GZ", "RZ", or "RZ-S" trims and without for the "SZ" or "SZ-R" trims.
