History of toyota supra

 The Toyota Supra, a name synonymous with performance and iconic status, has a rich history spanning several generations. Initially introduced as a variant of the Celica in 1978, it quickly evolved into a standalone model, known for its powerful inline-6 engines and sleek design. After a hiatus, the Supra made a triumphant return in 2019, embodying the spirit of its predecessors while embracing modern technology.
