Toyota released the original Supra model in 1978 to compete in the Japanese and American grand touring market segment which included cars such as the Porsche 928 and Datsun 240Z. Based on the Toyota Celica’s design. The Supra was a larger and more powerful version of the Celica and became an instant hit.

Between the Supra’s debut in 1978 to its retirement in 2002, Toyota was able to sell a staggering 593,000 units.
