1993 Toyota Supra



Since 1979, the Supra has established its own, respectable family tree. And now we have a fourth-generation Supra—one that rushes to 160 mph rather than 110, and one that shares as many parts with a Celica as a Tappan oven shares with a Ferrari F40.
The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling and featured two new engines: a naturally aspirated Toyota 2JZ-GE producing 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 5800 rpm and 210 lb·ft (280 N·m) at 4800 rpm of torque and a twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version. It is has a 3.0 litre engine powered with 6 cylinders. The turbocharged variant could achieve 0–60 mph in as low as 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile (402 m) in 13.1 seconds at 109 mph (175 km/h). The turbo version was tested to reach over 285 km/h (177 mph), but the cars are restricted to just 180 km/h (112 mph) in Japan and 250 km/h (155 mph) elsewhere.

Mazda RX7

    The Mazda RX-7 is a sports car produced by the Japanese automaker Mazda from 1978 to 2002. The original RX-7 featured a 1,146 cc (69.9 cu in) twin-rotor Wankel rotary engine and a front-midship, rear-wheel drive layout. 
    The RX-7 replaced the RX-3 (both were sold in Japan as the Savanna). The original RX-7 was a sports car with pop-up headlamps. 
    The compact and lightweight Wankel rotary engine is situated slightly behind the front axle, a configuration marketed by Mazda as "front mid-engine". 
    It was offered as a two-seat coupe with optional "occasional" rear seats in Japan, Australia, the United States, and other parts of the world. The rear seats were initially marketed as a dealer-installed option for the North American markets.
    The RX-7 made Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list five times. 811,634 RX-7s were produced. The third generation of the RX-7, FD (with FD3S for Japan and JM1FD for the USA VIN), featured an updated body design. 
    The 13B-REW was the first-ever mass-produced sequential twin-turbocharger system to export from Japan, boosting power to 255 PS (188 kW; 252 hp) in 1993 and finally 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp) by the time production ended in Japan in 2002.

AE86 - Sprinter, Corolla GT-S

The AE86 generation of the Toyota Corolla Levin and Toyota Sprinter Trueno is a small, lightweight coupe or hatchback introduced by Toyota in 1983 as part of the fifth generation Toyota Corolla lineup. 
For the purpose of brevity, the insider-chassis code of "AE86" depicts the 1600 cc RWD model from the range. 
In classic Toyota code, the "A" represents the engine that came in the car (4A series), "E" represents the Corolla, "8" represents the fifth generation (E80 series) and "6" represents the variation within this generation. 
The Levin has fixed-headlights, and the Trueno has retractable headlights, both could be hatchback or coupe. 
The export model name Corolla covers both variations. The AE86 (along with the lower spec 1,452 cubic centimetres (1.452 L) AE85 and 1587 cc SR5 versions) was rear wheel drive 
(unlike the front wheel drive CE80, EE80 and AE82 models), and is among the last rear-drive cars of its type, at a time when most passenger cars were being switched to front-drive. 
In 1987, there was a limited edition model of the AE86 called "Black Limited" that served as a send-off model before the AE86 chassis was replaced later that year by the front wheel drive AE92 Corolla/Sprinter range. 
The AE86 later inspired the Toyota 86 (also badged as the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ). 
the AE86 pictured is in the famous initial D livery, which came stock, but became very sought after the release of the Initial D anime series.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution



The Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution, also known as the Evo is a high performance sports cars manufactured by Mitsubishi motors that is based on the normal lancer. There have been ten official versions to date, and the designation of each model is most commonly a Roman Numeral. All use two litre, turbocharged engines and all wheel drive. systems.
The Evolution was originally intended only for Japanese markets, but demand on the ''grey import'' market led the Evolution series to be offered through Ralliart dealer networks in the United Kingdom and in various European markets from around 1998. Mitsubishi decided to export the eighth generation Evolution to the United States in 2003 after witnessing the success Subaru had in that market with their long-time direct rival, theSubaru Impreza WRX STi.

Japanese-spec cars were limited by a gentlemen's agreement to advertise no more than 280 PS (206 kW; 276 hp), a mark already reached by Evolution IV. Therefore, each subsequent version has unofficially evolved above the advertised power figures, with the Japanese-spec Evolution IX reaching an alleged output of around 321 PS (236 kW; 317 hp). Various versions available in other markets, particularly the UK, have official power outputs up to 446 PS (328 kW; 440 hp).

GT-R



The Nissan GT-R is a 2 door sports coupe produced by Nissan and first released in Japan in 2007. It is the successor to the Nissan Skyline GT-R although it is no longer part of the Skyline range. It is one of the fastest accelerating cars in the world with a top speed of 311 Km/hr. It has a twin turbo V6 engine, which produces an incredible 404kW and 628Nm of torque. This makes the GT-R one of the fastest out there. So quick, it accelerates from 0-100km/h in only 2.7 seconds. The GT-R is unique because it is not simply a copy of a European-designed supercar; it had to really reflect Japanese culture.The engine and transmission of the Nissan GT-R are built one at a time, by one takumi (the highest skilled of all Japan's craftspeople), working in a dust-free clean room and each engine has a nameplate of the takumi that hand built the engine.
