Toyota included a 130 mph (209 km/h) speedometer in North American models instead of

5002-515: The same 5M-GE engine. The only real change in the engine area was the switch from a vacuum advanced to an electronic advanced distributor, yet that did not increase the power output. Toyota switched to a 4.10:1 rear gear ratio for the P-type and a 3.73:1 for the L-type. As for the optional automatic transmission, they replaced the A43DL 4-speed with a newly designed A43DE 4-speed. It had an electronic controller that would adjust its shift pattern for

When the car debuted, it had a drag coefficient of  C d =0.348, a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) acceleration time of 9.8 seconds and a 1 ⁄ 4 mile (400 m) time of 17.2-seconds at 80 mph (129 km/h). The standard transmission for this year

5822-403: Was achieved by a mixture of a redesigned intake manifold with D-shaped intake runners and an increase in compression ratio to: 9.2:1. Another notable change in the 5-speed models was the switch to a 4.30:1 gear ratio in the rear differential. All automatic models retained the previous years power statistics, but the rear gear ratio was changed to 4.10:1. The most notable exterior changes included

6150-561: Was licensed by Midas Interactive and released as a budget game named Tokyo Road Race by various distributors in PAL territories. Online leaderboards, accessed using a dial-up modem in the Japanese release, were removed in the Tokyo Road Race version. North American arcade versions of Side by Side 2 and the first Battle Gear also had Honda cars removed due to licensing issues with American Honda Motor Company , but they are featured in

6232-608: Was offered in all model years along with a metal power sliding sunroof (added in 1991). Production numbers of the GA70/MA70/JZA70 Supra was estimated at 241,471 units. The third-generation Supra was introduced in February 1986 as a stand-alone model, officially being separate from the Celica. Whereas the Celica became a front-wheel-drive sport coupe, the Supra retained its image as a rear-wheel-drive sports/GT car. The new Supra would continue to move upscale and become

6314-418: Was rated at 172 kW (231 hp; 234 PS) at 5,600 rpm while the naturally aspirated 7M-GE engine was rated at 149 kW (200 hp; 203 PS) at 6,000 rpm. Further refinement on the turbo model increased power to 173 kW (232 hp; 235 PS) at 5,600 rpm and 254 lb⋅ft (344 N⋅m) of torque at 3,200 rpm in 1989. This was mostly due to a redesign of the wastegate. All models used

6396-455: Was replaced with white package-only deep red. Every other body colour received a shadow gray interior, with leather interiors retaining medium gray seats and interior inserts. Front speakers were changed from 3.5 inch to 6.5 inches and the speaker cover was also enlarged to accommodate them. Beginning in 1991, Toyota began to offer a factory spoiler-style panel sunroof.

6642-550: Was the "1st obvious step" that import racing was now gaining popularity in other Southern California communities. The import scene grew exponentially in the 1990s and 2000s with more Japanese imports internationally, better performance, and media and cultural influences such as the Fast & Furious film series and Need for Speed video games. Street Import racing venues and street meet-up locations in nearby cities such as Carson , Ca. and Long Beach , Ca. eventually arose from

6724-428: Was to be the last year of production of the second generation model, delays in production of the third generation model led to a surplus of second generation models. During the first half of 1986 the 1985 P-type was still offered for sale, with only minor cosmetic changes as well as the addition of a now mandatory rear-mounted third brake light on the hatch. These were all labelled officially as 1986 models. The P-type were
