Toyota did not want to leave the field to Datsun, successful with the 240/260 Z models, and launched a rival coupé with the Toyota Celica XX, known abroad as the Celica Supra from 1979. The second edition appeared in 1981, which now differed more clearly from the four-cylinder Celica and attracted many sports coupé buyers to Toyota thanks to its elegant design, low price and generous equipment. This driving report is about a Toyota Celica Supra 2.8i from 1983 and shows it in current and historical pictures.
Over 30 years ago, there was much more variety in the DTM than there is today. For example, the Ford Sierra Cosworth raced against the BMW M3 and Mercedes-Benz 190E 16-valve cars.

This report portrays the racing car of the time and tells the exciting story and how it was experienced by those involved, supplemented by many historical photos.
Japanese sports cars are often said to lack emotion, despite their technocratic perfection.

This article introduces the Toyota Supra Mk. 4 and explains how it became one of the most famous movie cars of the 21st century.
