Toyota Supra MKIV Time Attack (Time Attack)

The Toyota Supra MKIV Time Attack is a wild, heavily modified take on Toyota’s legendary fourth-generation A80 Supra, transformed from a street and GT icon into a grip-built, turbocharged weapon for attack laps and hillclimb-style sim runs. Based on the iconic 2JZ-powered chassis, this version turns the famous platform up to absurd levels with aero, suspension, and power far beyond factory spec.

Key Specs (BoP-dependent, typical sim values)

  • Powertrain: 3.0L 2JZ-GTE inline-6, twin-turbocharged and extensively built for time attack use (front-mid mounted, longitudinal)

  • Total Output: ~800 hp

  • Redline: ~8,500–9,000 rpm

  • Transmission: 6-speed sequential

  • Weight: ~1,250 kg

  • Dimensions: ~4,520 mm long × 1,810 mm wide × 1,275 mm tall | Wheelbase 2,550 mm

  • Tires: Ultra-wide slick or semi-slick performance tires on forged wheels

  • Brakes: Big brake kit with ventilated discs and multi-piston calipers

  • Layout: Front-engine, rear-wheel drive

In the Simulator Feel

The Supra MKIV Time Attack is a high-power, high-grip RWD monster that feels every bit as serious as its aggressive aero package suggests. Compared to a stock road-going Supra, it is dramatically more responsive, more stable at speed, and far more demanding on the driver once the boost comes in. The chassis rewards commitment and precision, but it still carries that unmistakable Supra personality — heavy torque, big turbo punch, and a need for careful throttle discipline on corner exit.

Engine & Sound: The built 2JZ delivers the classic straight-six soundtrack: deep, mechanical, and filled with turbo whistle and wastegate chatter. Low-end response is manageable, but once the boost hits, the car surges forward with serious urgency. The top-end pull is violent by road-car standards, and the sequential gearbox keeps the engine right in the meat of the powerband.

Handling Characteristics:

  • Cornering: Strong front-end bite and excellent aero grip at speed, but the car can feel bulky in slower transitions if you overdrive it.

  • Traction: Massive power means wheelspin is always a possibility, especially on corner exit or when tires are cold.

  • Braking: Strong stopping performance, though trail braking requires respect because the car still carries substantial weight.

  • Top Speed: Extremely fast in a straight line and highly competitive on open, flowing circuits where aero and boost can both work together.

Driving Style Tip: Be smooth with steering and patient with throttle. Let the aero load build before asking for full power, and focus on clean exits rather than aggressive entries. The Supra shines on technical time attack circuits where a stable platform and strong mid-corner speed matter more than raw aggression.

Livery & Aesthetics: The MKIV Supra’s shape is instantly recognizable, and the time attack treatment makes it look properly outrageous — widened arches, huge wing, deep front splitter, and an all-business stance. It retains the classic Supra silhouette, but now with the visual language of a purpose-built record chaser.

For sim racers who love big turbo power, iconic Japanese machinery, and precision tuning, the Toyota Supra MKIV Time Attack is an absolute blast — one of the most legendary platforms ever, reborn as a serious circuit weapon.
