Toyota Supra

• Japan sold the A60 as the Celica XX. The Supra name began there in February 1986 with the A70.
• A80 grades split by engine: the SZ and SZ-R use the 2JZ-GE (225 PS), and the RZ, GZ and RZ-S use the 2JZ-GTE (280 PS).
• Toyota says its first six-speed manual was developed with Getrag for the A80 RZ.
• Japanese A80 production ended in 2002. Toyota's sources give July or August.
• The A90 is built by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria. Toyota Japan says production ended in March 2026.
• US import age is counted from each car's build date, so check the data plate. EPA and customs rules apply separately.

• The A70, A80 and A90 are front-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupes in Toyota's Japanese specifications
• The Japanese A60 and A70 engines are inline-sixes; the A90 has a four-cylinder B48 in the SZ and SZ-R and a six-cylinder B58 in the RZ
• The A60 Celica XX and the Soarer, released in February 1981, were sister cars sharing a six-cylinder engine
• Japanese turbo engines include the A70's 7M-GTEU (230 PS at launch), the 1JZ-GTE (280 PS, announced August 1990) and the A80's 2JZ-GTE (280 PS)
• The A80 is a three-door, four-seat coupe; the A90 is a two-seater

The Supra in Japan runs from the A60 Celica XX (1981) and the A70 (1986) to the A80 (1993) and the A90 GR Supra (2019). Each generation has its own page with grades, engines and dates.

Generation names are broad families. The factory chassis codes below identify the variants represented in JDMBUYSELL's current Toyota Supra guide data.

A70, first Supra-named generation in Japan (1986–1993)

Chassis codes: MA70 and JZA70

A80, JZA80 (1993–2002)

Chassis code: JZA80

Confirm the complete code on the vehicle's frame or VIN plate; drivetrain, body, and market variants can use different prefixes within one generation family.

Each generation page has its own full list of strengths and weaknesses.

This hub follows Toyota Japan's specifications. For the A80 those are 225 PS for the 2JZ-GE and 280 PS for the 2JZ-GTE. Airbags were optional at the Japanese launch in 1993 and standard on all cars from April 1996. For the A90, Japan's RZ was rated 340 PS at launch, and Toyota announced 387 PS in April 2020. MotorWeek reports that the US six-cylinder rose from 335 to 382 hp for model year 2021, so US figures should not be matched to Japanese grades.

Toyota Supra - Old vs. New

Power figures are the PS ratings Toyota Japan printed for the grade and date shown. Ratings for other markets are different specifications.

Engine options

Grade names matter. On the A80, the SZ and SZ-R are naturally aspirated, and the RZ, GZ and RZ-S are twin turbo. On the A90, the SZ and SZ-R use the 2.0-litre B48 and the RZ uses the 3.0-litre B58.

Was the A60 sold as the Supra in Japan?

No. The Japanese A60 was the Celica XX, launched on 2 July 1981. Toyota Japan changed the domestic name to Supra with the A70 model change in February 1986. Export markets sold the A60 as the Celica Supra.

Which A80 grades are twin turbo?

The RZ, GZ and RZ-S use the 280 PS twin-turbo 2JZ-GTE. The SZ and SZ-R use the naturally aspirated 2JZ-GE at 225 PS. Both engine types are coded JZA80.

What is the Getrag six-speed?

Toyota says its first six-speed manual was developed jointly with Getrag of Germany for the A80 RZ. The SZ-R adopted a Getrag six-speed in April 1996.

When did A80 production end?

Toyota's sources differ. Toyota's Japanese heritage text says production ended in August 2002. A September 2001 catalogue and Toyota UK give July 2002.

Where is the A90 built?

At Magna Steyr's plant in Graz, Austria, through Toyota's BMW collaboration. Toyota Japan says production ended in March 2026.

When can an A80 be imported into the US?

US safety eligibility is 25 years from each car's manufacture date, so a 2002 build reaches that age in 2027. EPA separately requires the car to be in its original unmodified configuration, and a replacement engine qualifies only if it is an equivalent or newer EPA-certified engine with its emission control systems. State rules vary, and California has its own import program. Canada uses 15 years, counted by manufacture month and year.
