1998 Toyota Supra Price, Specs, Photos & Review

1998 Toyota Supra Price, Specs, Photos & Review

Toyota Supra Price

If one Japanese sports car could define a decade it would have to come from Toyota. Their flagship of the 1990’s was the Toyota Supra for sale. What began as a trim level in 1978 evolved through 4 generations to become its own model. The Toyota Supra price depended on three options. First was your choice of turbo or naturally aspirated. Number 2 is automatic or manual transmission. The third is hardtop or sports roof. The Toyota Supra specs included the option for a removable targa top. A well-optioned Toyota Supra Price would reach $40,000, a fraction of what they sell for now.

The rear spoiler was not optional in the Toyota Supra specs

Toyota Supra Review

Others will tell you to keep in mind the 1998 Toyota Supra is over two decades old. Sure it was designed at the end of the 1980’s, but the Mark 4 Supra is still competitive today. For the sake of brevity, we will focus on the Toyota Supra Turbo price. Each example was powered by a 3.0L straight six engine.

Any Toyota Supra straight six engine is a work of art

Because of the sequential compressors, low RPM boost is easily built by using the brake pedal to pressurize the intake. Steering is properly weighted, and the bias is perfect for holding a drift. The Toyota Supra horsepower of 321 might seem low by today’s standards, but the actual output of the engine was much higher. Driving the car is an analog experience. There are no complicated screens to navigate or distract you. Listen to the intake and exhaust, and watch your boost gauge to shift at the right time. The Toyota Supra price is truly rewarding.

Toyota Supra Specs:

Known as the 2JZ-GTE, this formidable contender has been swapped into almost every make and model. This Toyota Supra engine is rated at 321 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque, but we sill dissect that a little later. This allowed the Toyota Supra top speed is 177 mph, but it was limited to 155 mph outside of Japan. The efficiency of sequential turbochargers allow the Mark 4 Supra to run 0-60 mph in 4.7 seconds. At the drag strip, a Toyota Supra 1/4 mile of 13 seconds at 109 mph made it quicker than many V8 competitors.

  • Price: $40,000
  • Engine: 3.0L Sequential Turbo Straight Six
  • Transmission: 6-Speed Manual, or 4-Speed Automatic
  • Horsepower: 321 hp
  • Torque: 315 lb-ft
  • 0-60 mph: 4.7s
  • 1/4 mile: 13.1s @109 mph
  • Top Speed: 177 mph

Toyota Supra Engine

Many view the Toyota Supra engine as the best inline-6 ever made. It starts with a cast-iron block with 7 main bearings. Easily capable of 1,500 horsepower, its design will last long after you read this. An aluminum head has dual cams and four valves per cylinder. One disadvantage is the Mark 4 Supra is the use of an external timing belt instead of a chain, but replacement is not much of a headache. Variable timing for the intake cam arrived in 1997, increasing the efficiency at all RPM.

Advances in turbo technology have allowed the complex sequential setup to be replaced by a single turbocharger. Variable geometry and dual scroll turbines can adapt more quickly than the original system. Considering the great Toyota Supra price, it is easy to make 600 to 800 reliable horsepower without sacrificing civility. Modifying your air and fuel system will put a dent in the fuel economy. The Toyota Supra mpg is rated at 24 highway, and it can reach 30 mpg with a nice intake and exhaust upgrade.

Toyota Supra Transmission

Two decades ago, transmissions came in two flavors. Almost every performance car mirrored the Toyota Supra transmission. The base model was a no-frills 4-speed automatic. It was not as popular as the manual, so finding repair parts is a problem. On the other hand, Toyota partnered with Getrag to allow the Toyota Supra price to include a new six-speed manual. While it is a robust gearbox, 5th gear is 1:1 and 6th gear is a 0.8 overdrive. Those who make big power normally swap in an American gearbox to have two overdrives and more parts availability.

Toyota Supra Interior

The cockpit of a Toyota Supra is the epitome of 90’s design. You are the focus of attention, as the controls and entertainment are aimed at the driver’s seat. Gauges are big and easy to read, and the shifter is in an optimal spot. The Mark 4 Supra radio consists of a double-DIN head unit with plenty of room for upgrades. Both seats have plenty of support along with bolsters for hard cornering.

The Toyota Supra interior is a blast from the past

Behind the front seats are two very small seats. They were needed to make the Toyota Supra price to match a 2+2 layout for insurance reasons. Although they would work for small humans, many enthusiasts remove them to save weight. That leads to another point. Finding a Toyota Supra interior in original condition is becoming more difficult. Until such time as the manufacturer offers reproduction parts, it will be up to the internet and social media to keep the passion alive.

All Toyota Supra specs included 17" wheels

Toyota Supra Brakes

This is where the 90’s cars get their reputation. Perhaps we are all spoiled by massive rotors and aggressive pads, but the Toyota Supra brakes are downright atrocious. Base model cars had 11.6″ front rotors, and the Turbo models had 12.7″ on the front. Engineers made up for the small size by incorporating the first true stability system. Using technology from their F1 teams, it was one of the first production car with a 4-channel ABS system. It was tuned to allow maximum cornering, and to pull the car back in when if a drift began.

Toyota Supra Standout Features

As much as the Toyota Supra specs were ahead of their time, Japanese engineering held tight to old-world technology. It was one of the last passenger cars to use a mechanical cooling fan. This is in contrast to the extensive use of aluminum for the hood, front crossmember, oil pan, upper control arms, and the targa roof. This allowed the Toyota Supra price to be competitive around the world. The 17″ wheels make tires affordable, but the they are staggered widths. The fronts are skinny, being 235-45, and the rears are moderately sized 255-40. With comfortable sidewalls, the Toyota Supra would let you know when it was about to let go.
