The Kyosho 1/18 Toyota Supra Turbo That Will Decimate All


"2ZJ no....."

You know the rest.

This is a car that needs no introduction. It's Kyosho's Toyota Supra Mk.IV, in 1/18 scale. Timeless design and a bulletproof engine with massive tuning potential pretty much sums up what makes the fourth generation Supra so great. That, along with the Fast & Furious cachet, is what also makes it perhaps the holiest grail of Japanese sports cars. It's widely known that the value of the real car has skyrocketed in the past few years, drastically slimming the chances of actually owning one, let alone finding one that is still in pristine condition.


The same applies to this model. Finding one of these miniatures can prove to be quite difficult in itself, even more so if you want one in good condition with a price somewhere within the realm of the universe. This old Kyosho is currently the only stock form of the Mark Four at this scale. Somebody please wake up AUTOart and tell them there is a ton of untapped potential for them to cash in on.


Nonetheless, I managed to land one of these, and now I get to cross it off my diecast bucket list. Easily an all-time top five car.
