1996 Toyota Supra MK4 SZ Facelift

Description

The Toyota Supra MK4 SZ represents a pinnacle in the history of Japanese sports cars, renowned for its sleek design, powerful performance, and technological innovations. The MK4 Supra, produced from 1993 to 2002, underwent a facelift in 1996, refining its appearance and introducing enhancements to elevate its status among enthusiasts. Known for its sleek design, impressive performance, and starring role in the “Fast and Furious” franchise, the Supra has solidified its place in automotive history.

The MK4 Supra, with its 1996 facelift, has left an indelible mark on automotive history. It became an icon in the tuning and racing communities, gaining fame through its appearances in various media, including movies, as well as in racing games. The car’s 2JZ engine, found in both turbocharged and naturally aspirated variants, achieved legendary status for its durability and tunability. The Supra’s legacy continues to influence modern sports car design, and well-maintained examples of the MK4, particularly those from the facelifted 1996 model year, are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.

The SZ trim of the MK4 Supra was powered by the 3.0-liter naturally aspirated inline-6 engine, distinguishing it from its more powerful sibling, the turbocharged SZ-R. Despite the absence of forced induction, the SZ offered a balanced and engaging driving experience. The engine produced a respectable amount of power and, when paired with the Supra’s well-tuned suspension and responsive handling, made for a thrilling ride. The facelift did not introduce substantial changes to the powertrain, but it refined the overall driving dynamics.

The interior showcased a blend of luxury and sportiness, with supportive seats, a driver-oriented instrument cluster, and high-quality materials throughout. Technologically, the Supra featured amenities ahead of its time, including power accessories, air conditioning, and a premium audio system. While not as electronically advanced as some contemporary cars, the Supra’s interior represented a perfect balance between performance and comfort.

This example is offered with a manual transmission and presents very well, with a mint interior for it’s age, having covered some 138247km. As far as modifications go, the car is mechanically stock and offers the perfect basis for anyone who wants to modify it into the beast that it’s known for. What sets this particular Supra SZ apart is the Bomex “Fast and Furious” body kit. The Bomex kit gained fame through its appearance on a similar Supra in the first installment of the “Fast and Furious” film series. This body kit includes aggressive front and rear bumpers with side skirts, giving the Supra an unmistakable and eye-catching appearance. The car is also sitting on 5-spoke 18 inch custom Jade-R rims which give the car an impressive stance. The Supra’s enduring popularity is a testament to its timeless appeal and its lasting impact on the automotive world.
