Did the new Toyota Supra seem expensive to you? Well, get ready to find out the price the Supra MK4 can reach.

The Toyota Supra, one of those sports cars idolized by many and hated by very few. It was throughout 2019 that the Japanese brand finally unveiled the fifth generation of this iconic vehicle, which had bid us farewell in 2002. After learning about the partnership between Toyota and BMW and the need to shell out €69,000 if we want to get our hands on a fifth-generation Supra, the most passionate enthusiasts raised a fuss.

I’m sure that after learning about the outlay one has to make to brighten up our garage with the presence of this Japanese sports car, you considered looking at the second-hand market in search of one of the Supra’s ancestors. Well, we can tell you right away that things don’t get better, and the price Toyota asks for its sports car becomes affordable when we compare it with MK4 units like the one we are looking at today.

The Toyota Supra has become a cult vehicle after its appearance in the Fast and Furious franchise, where one of its main rivals, the Nissan Skyline GT-R R34, also gained overwhelming fame. Today, many owners of a fourth-generation Supra have turned to aftermarket parts to modify it and make it more powerful, but if you are the lucky owner of one and want to multiply its value, we advise you to keep it strictly stock.

This is proven by this 1998 Toyota Supra which, with just 60,000 kilometers on the odometer, has reached a value that was unimaginable 21 years ago. The Japanese sports car stirs passions wherever it goes, but the truth is that keeping it exactly as it left the factory can be very beneficial, however tempting it may be to squeeze every last drop of sportiness from its six-cylinder engine, one of the most tunable engines in the world.

The vehicle that concerns us today keeps the mechanical layout with which Toyota conceived it completely intact, which adds even more exclusivity. We are looking at a 3.0-liter twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine capable of producing 330 CV and 440 Nm of torque, figures that allowed the Supra to catapult to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds and reach a top speed of 282 km/h without a limiter.

Having kept every last detail of this Toyota Supra unaltered allows its visionary owner to ask for the Japanese sports car a staggering $499,999, the equivalent of about €450,000 at the current exchange rate. Without a doubt, it is a jaw-dropping sum of money that makes the fourth installment of the Supra far more special and more valued than one might initially think.
