Since its introduction in 1978, the Toyota Supra has become one of the most iconic sports cars ever created. It first surfaced through the Toyota Celica series as a special, longer version of the A40 car, dubbed the Celica Supra, also known as the Celica XX in Japan. By mid-1986, Toyota decided to separate the A70 Supra from the Celica nameplate entirely, leaving the Supra to stand on its own. After a 13-year run in 1998, the Japanese automaker ceased sales of the iconic JZA80 (Mk. 4) Supra in the United States in 1998, with Japan officially ending Supra’s domestic production in August 2002.

Recently, Toyota has put the Supra back on track. Spy shots of a new Supra testing on the famous Nürburgring began appearing on the internet, and Toyota has now confirmed that this new Supra is a new joint-venture with BMW and will release in 2019.

To build up enthusiasm for the new 5th generation Supra, Donut Media recently introduced an animated video to guide us through the evolution of probably the most iconic car ever made by Toyota.
