World First 8 Second A90 GR Toyota Supra 1/4 mile

It was only a matter of time before someone claimed the world first 8 second A90 GR Toyota Supra 1/4 mile.

No surprises that it was Titan Motorsports who are based over in Orlando Florida USA that claimed the record for their new A90 GR Toyota Supra which they’ve been developing for 14 months,

In conjunction with the BMW sourced B58, the modifications included a Pure 800 turbo kit, an upgraded downpipe, ethanol E85 fuel system and stronger drive shaft axles, nitrous along with a tune. The Supra is putting out 861hp (642kw) of power and 773ft/lb (1048Nm) of torque.

After a shakedown run the GR Supra’s very first eight-second pass was an 8.941 at 154mph (248pkh). Then later on the record was broken again with an 8.930 at 152mph (245kph) pass. The best trap speed for all of the runs was 155mph (249kph).

A big congratulations to the team over at Titan Motorsports.

EKanoo Pro Import GT86 2JZ US 1/4 Record

It seems EKanoo and the team have been at it again, this time taking their Pro Import GT86 over to the US to see what they can run.

Gary White ran it down the Michigan 1/4 mile at – 5.891 @ 388kph (241mph), breaking the US import record. Although not breaking their previous 5.77 @ 399kph (248mph) world record it’s a pretty impressive feat after a few runs.

Congratulations to the EKanoo Racing team! It will be interesting to see where this car and it’s development go from here.

World’s first 5 second import – 2JZ Supra

Did we ever doubt that a 2JZ powered vehicle would be the first in the 5 second 1/4 mile club? No we didn’t!

Although this may be old news to some, I held off posting EKanoo Racing Supra’s 5 second 1/4 mile run as these guys were breaking records left right and centre. An amazing effort by the EKanoo team and another great drive job by Gary White.

Best E.T – 5.97 @ 387kph (240mph)
Best trap speed – 6.00 @ 394kph (245mph)

World’s first 5 second import
World’s Fastest Supra
World’s Fastest 2JZ powered vehicle

In addition they also ran a 6.65@356KM/H (221MPH) in the Toyota 86 with the 2JZ combo, making it the world’s fastest 86 down the 1/4 mile.

Also I’m glad Khalid Mohammed’s recovered and walked away uninjured after this nasty crash in the Twin Turbo Lexus ISF.

Toyota Supra Informational Video

Another Toyota Supra Informational video from the vaults, a Toyota Sales US video back in the launch year of 1993. Still to this day the Supra does not age, for those that watch the video please take note that the supra was probably closer to 4.9 seconds from 0-60mph for the US version. Thanks to Youtube user roliks.

If you know of any Toyota OEM or museum videos for the 2JZ either on Youtube or elsewhere 2JZGarage would love to see them, comment below or contact us directly.
