Description
The 1989 Toyota Supra, part of the third generation A70 platform, marked a genuine milestone as the very first Supra to break away completely from the Celica lineup and stand on its own as a dedicated sports car. Toyota positioned the A70 as a technological halo for the entire brand, launching in 1986 with available features like 3-channel ABS and TEMS, Toyota’s Electronic Modulated Suspension, targeting established rivals like the Chevrolet Corvette, Porsche 944 Turbo, and Mazda RX-7 Turbo.
The turbocharged variant, powered by a 3.0 litre 7M-GTE inline six, produced 232 horsepower and 254 lb ft of torque, delivering a genuinely competitive 0 to 60 mph time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 144 mph. This turbo engine was also Toyota’s first ever distributorless design, using individual coil packs fired by a cam position sensor, paired with a heavy duty five speed manual transmission built specifically to handle the extra power. For the 1989 model year specifically, Toyota refined the turbo further, extracting an additional 2 horsepower alongside a redesigned rear spoiler and updated interior switchgear, representing the final and most refined iteration of the beloved Mk3 Supra before the arrival of the legendary 2JZ powered Mk4 generation.
Hot Wheels celebrates this genuinely important Supra generation as part of its Ronin Run 2 range within the Car Culture series, an imported line known for its detailed, adult collector focused castings of celebrated real world sports cars. Numbered 5 out of 5 in the series, this casting is finished in a rich Cherry-Red paint with aero blade wheels, crisp rear tail lamps, a rear wing, and authentic “Supra” detailing on the side and license plate, built with a complete Metal/Metal body and chassis paired with genuine Real Riders rubber tires, capturing the Mk3 Supra’s clean, understated proportions at 1:64 scale.
