Summary

This driving report is about a Toyota Celica Supra 2.8i from 1983 and shows it in current and historical pictures.

Toyota did not want to leave the field to Datsun, successful with the 240/260 Z models, and launched the Toyota Celica XX, known abroad as the Celica Supra from 1979. With the Supra, Toyota expanded the rear-wheel drive Celica series of the second generation. With an extended wheelbase, larger front end and longitudinally mounted in-line six-cylinder engine, the aim was to appeal to Z buyers, but of course also to buyers of coupés from other manufacturers. The first Supra version, built from 1978 to 1981, was not officially launched in Europe. At the IAA in Frankfurt in September 1981, Europeans were able to see for the first time how Toyota differentiated the Supra more strongly from the Celica model (the third generation). In fact, the coupé now looked much more independent, which was mainly due to the smoothed front end with folding headlights.
