This is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars and has reached legendary status by appearing in many street racing movies (like the Fast and the Furious franchise), racing games, and music videos. You may think that Supra’s popularity is based purely on media appearances but you’d be wrong. This is one serious machine, especially in its Turbo version (via Car and Driver).

The base model was naturally aspirated. But despite being quick the most iconic model is a 3.0-liter straight-six twin-turbo variant with 276 hp. We know that 276 horsepower isn’t much but the engine produced somewhat more than advertised and had fantastic tuning potential. So much so that it’s hard to find a stock Supra today. With just a few bolt-on power adders, a bigger turbo, and an intake system, you can go boost one up to 1000 horsepower.
