![]() Today's car of the day is Racing Champions' '95 Toyota Supra (MK IV). ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Toyota Supra ![]() This is a recolor of the most famous MK IV Supra, the lead car from "The Fast And The Furious". Racing Champions had the license and cast all of the main cars from both the original movie and its sequel, "2 Fast 2 Furious". Purple really doesn't suit this car, and yet I like the look without the rear spoiler. This was the only example of this casting I've ever seen to not have a tanning bed rear spoiler, although I'm sure there are others. ![]() The '15th Anniversary' models of 1997 are rather misleading, considering the Supra had been around since 1979.

The casting seems to have the same chunky look to it as other RC castings from the same series/time period that I have. The rims and tires do look nice on a postive note. Thanks for the pics Swifty. Sir Crafty |

It is okay. I like Supras, but this is just not my cup of tea. Not going for the color either. |

Oh right, I plead temporary insanity, I was not my usual self. Got caught up in the inovative design and body styling of the Dauphine and lost count of what car is in what week. This is Friday isn't it? And my name is James is it not? What color are my pajama's? oops too much information..........classified.............need to know only................ top secret personal stuff ya know ...........

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
|
I remember going through all the issues by RC from the "Fast and the Furious" and I NEVER saw this one....maybe it was so popular it sold out immediately!!!
Looking back now, it's not a bad looking collector's piece, but most of the cars in that series seemed to be "off" in looks/proportions, so I just passed on them at the time. But even now it won't get a sympathy vote from me. Even though the Dauphine was probably the worst car I ever owned, I now remember the misery as being so bad that it is incredibly funny. So that means I have an open mind on which car I'd vote for----I think the Dauphine casting looks very nice, even though the actual car was a real "Suppdog." Vote for the casting, not the opinion of the real car.

Believe it or not, the Dauphine is actually currently winning the car of the week vote. Okay, only by one vote over the Matchbox Caddy and this Supra, but its still in the lead. Your vote will only extend that.

After all these years, it looks like the Supra may actually return to production... ...I'm still not holding my breath until I see one in showrooms. And I'm less enthusiastic knowing it's really just a BMW... |

Fast and Furious series would explain why I don't recall this one. I did buy a few models from the series - the two Miami police cars and the various Mazda's and I think even a VW...but honestly not recall the Toyota.
