Toyota Supra is a sports car and grand tourer manufactured by the Toyota Motor Corporation. The name "supra" is derived from the Latin prefix, meaning "above", "to surpass" or "go beyond". Using subframe, suspension, and drivetrain assemblies from the upscale Soarer coupe, sold in the U.S. as the Lexus SC. Although the two cars looked similar dimension-wise, the new Supra was shorter than its luxurious cousin. This redesign saw Toyota placing great emphasis on a more serious high-performance car. For the export model to American markets Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo's engine increasing the power output to 239 kW. Twin turbochargers operated in sequential mode instead of parallel. The Supra received a six-speed Getrag/Toyota V160 gearbox on the turbo models. All vehicles were equipped with five-spoke aluminium alloy 17-inch wheels. To accommodate larger brakes equipped as standard on the turbo model. Toyota took measures to reduce the weight of this new model. Aluminium was used for the bonnet, front crossmember, oil and transmission pans, and forged upper suspension A-arms. Other measures included hollow carpet fibers, magnesium-alloy steering wheel, plastic gas tank and lid, dished out head bolts, gas injected rear spoiler, and a single pipe exhaust. Weight distribution was 53% front and 47% rear. The Supra featured a four-sensor four-channel track tuned ABS system with yaw control whereby each caliper is sensored and the brakes are controlled individually according to the speed, angle, and pitch of the approaching corner. This unique Formula One inspired braking system allowed the Supra Turbo to record a 113-0 km/h braking distance of 45 m, the best braking performance of any production car tested in 1997 by Car and Driver magazine.

Just like stealing cars, stealth must be used at all times.
