I have a confession to make – I’m not a big fan of the Toyota Supra. I don’t know why but I just don’t find them to be as interesting as the R34 GT-R or the FD RX-7. Don’t get me wrong, the 2JZ is a great engine but it wasn’t as specialised as the RB26 and ended up in more cars like the Chaser. Putting a performance engine into a sedan seems cooler to me, but I’m not here to waste time talking about that because this Supra could very well be the best I’ve seen anywhere. It may not have a widebody kit but soo much about this car works perfectly, from the wheel fitment to the tail lights. Here’s why this incredible build has changed my opinion of the MKIV Supra.
I’ve seen plenty of Japanese cars in my time, both modified and unmodified, so if your car makes an immediate impression on me, you must be doing something right. When I saw the front end of this Supra, I was flawed by the execution and suddenly realised that my prejudices were totally unjustified. Holy crap, that whole front bumper assembly is most definitely an enhancement compared to the stock vehicle. So to the carbon fibre bonnet which I believe is made by VIS. And that ride height! That wheel fitment! Then I saw the purple show up underneath the spotlights. Wait, this car isn’t black? Ok, nothing is beating this thing at Unmarked Melbourne 2026.
The more I looked at this car, the more satisfied I became. The sideskirts are more racer than ricer, complimenting the front splitter and canards; whilst the rear wing sits on the back as a neat yet purposeful addition. Then we have the tail lights. 2 circular lights in each housing glowing like evil eyes in the darkness? Wow, that elevates the old lighting package to a whole new level of modernity. The aftermarket rear bumper fits beautifully because it’s not gaudy and the exhaust pipe, which is the ideal size, has been positioned properly. Everything on this car pleases my little brain.
I honestly can’t get over the wheel and tyre combination here. There’s a prfect balance between chrome and rubber, which I find particluarly satisfying because some people go a bit overboard when it comes to wheel size. Tyres need to have a certain profile or “chunk” in order to be useful or else they just look like bicycle tyres. It’s an important visual element that also adds practicality and it’s nailed here. As for the wheels, they add the right amount of bling without verging into the “rapper that’s compensating for something” category.
Under the funky lights of Unmarked, this Supra single-handedly gave me a strong and sudden urge to go out and buy one. Unfortantely, I can’t actually do this in real life, but what I can do is modify the Supra that currently sits in my Forza Horizon 6 garage. This car has well and truly inspired me to go out and have my own fun in a virtual world where I’m not limited by my disability. Isn’t that great? It’s what car culture is all about. There’s no point shunning a certain car or else you could miss something that completely changes your view. This is why I love what I do.
