1983 Toyota Celica Supra Test Drive
The 1983 Toyota Celica Supra was decked out with the kind of stuff car nuts dream about, a 2.8 liter twin cam 6, independent rear suspension, limited slip differential, all in the shape that would put the Millennium Falcon to shame. With the 83 supra, Toyota leveled its guns squarely at Datsun 280 ZX 2 + 2. The Supra offered its front occupants a more comfortable seat then does the Datsun. Passengers in the rear will find the super much more accommodating as well. A lot of effort went into the Supra styling. Since financial considerations dictated the Supra would have to share sheet metal with the four-cylinder Celica from the firewall rearward as before the designers decided to rework the nose by lowering and extending it. The result was a look that was both elegant and aggressive. At a price just shy of $15,000 in base form, this Supra came with a list of standard equipment that a few cars costing $10,000 more would have been wise to offer. With the seats that are equal to most offerings from Recaro, automatic temperature set climate control, and cruise control, the entry-level Supra could never be called stripped.
