The Toyota Supra MK4, produced from 1993 to 2002, has become one of the most iconic and valuable Japanese sports cars of all time, with its price skyrocketing in recent years despite—or rather, because of—the fact that it’s no longer in production. Originally sold for around $35,000 to $40,000 depending on the trim, the MK4 Supra was admired for its aggressive styling, balanced handling, and especially its legendary 2JZ-GTE engine—a twin-turbocharged inline-six capable of extreme power gains with relatively simple modifications. While it was respected in the 1990s, the car’s real fame came years later, fueled by its central role in The Fast and the Furious franchise and its growing status in tuner culture around the world.
As enthusiasts realized how capable and reliable the Supra was
Some building them to produce over 1,000 horsepower—the demand for clean, unmodified models began to rise. After Toyota ended production in 2002, no immediate successor was released, which only deepened its desirability and rarity.
Today, finding a low-mileage, manual transmission MK4 Supra in original condition can cost anywhere from $100,000 to over $200,000
With certain rare editions like the 1997–1998 Turbo models fetching even more. Its soaring value is a result of multiple factors: limited availability, timeless design, unmatched tuning potential, and the nostalgia it evokes among a generation of car lovers.
As the automotive world shifts
Toward electric vehicles and more automated driving, the MK4 Supra stands as a symbol of the golden era of analog performance cars.
