1997 Toyota Models Brochure


This minivan had the most amazing drivetrain.  Mid-engine, inline-4 engine tipped nearly horizontal to make the height of the engine as low as possible.  Rear wheel drive.  Some were supercharged.  The drivetrain layout is basically ideal for a super handling sports car (very low CG of the powertrain and masses located near the center of the vehicle).


You rarely see these Supras anymore.  Especially with the targa top or in this fantastic blue color.

The two door version had a very short wheelbase and was very cool.

The old red and white land cruiser in the background is very subtle...
