Toyota Is Putting A80 Supra Components Back Into Production
While all attention might now be focused on the new Supra - our review of which you can find here - Toyota has just dropped some pretty big news about the older versions of the coupe.
During an event celebrating the debut of the A90 Supra in Japan, Gazoo Racing president Shigeki Tomoyama confirmed the creation of a GR Heritage Parts Project, which will cover both the A70 and A80 Supra generations.
And that, for now, is all we know. Tomoyama-san said (translated from Japanese): “We can not answer specific part names this time, but we will make every effort to meet the expectations of the owner.”
The move comes after fellow Japanese firm Nissan announced an expansion of its similar Nismo Heritage Parts programme, which covers the R32, R33 and R34 generations of the Skyline GT-R. It’s already been up and running a few years, and now even includes components of the legendary RB26 inline-six engine.
As for whether Toyota’s programme will be quite so extensive, we’ll have to wait and see.

Now we are lacking in the funds department.
Ohhhh yeeeahh
please restore a mkIV instead of giving it 1000hp and drag slicks. I beg of you
12 year old Supra Fanboys want to know your location
Am i the only one who hates the hood scoop on the A80 Supra? It looks as if they went to their local autozone and bought a fake scoop and slapped it on lol
Anyway this is good news
No, I really don’t like it either.
It would look better if it looked more smooth rather than sticking out abruptly
Red supra owners might finally get color matched rear bumpers
renaissance red was the second most common colour for the mk4, so it shouldnt be that hard
Okay now, someone gift me a Supra
SW20 MR2 bits next please. Light switches, ashtrays, mirrors that don’t wobble.
Roof seals!
Mazda….. do a thing!!!!!
I’m pretty sure they already do….
They did…
