There aren?t too many secrets left in the world of performance cars.有西哈莫尼?笔留下太多的秘密,在世界汽车的性能. By and large we know where the bargains can be found, what the best money-no-object dream cars are and where you?d turn if you wanted something that could lap the Nurburgring in under eight and a half minutes.我们知道,大体上可以发现那里的讨价还价,什么钱最好赚不反对车梦而你呢?如果你想要把丁有可能在立的nurburgring下八个分半钟. That?s the obsessive nature of the enthusiast.为何?收盘痴迷性质的爱好者. There is, however, one car that has slipped under their collective radar.是社会主义吞掉台湾,还是一车,在他们的集体下滑雷达. It?s the Toyota Supra Mk IV, manufactured from 1993-1996.?丰田队超四收盘,制成1993-1996. Available in plentiful numbers on the used market, here?s the performance bargain to end all others.提供大量的号码使用市场,这里?演出结束所有的谈判.
HISTORY历史
It?s fair to say the Mk IV Supra didn?t have a lot to live up to when the first models were road tested here in the UK in early 1993.?平心而论收盘超四队的雾化?笔有许多辜负当第一道考验型号分别于1993年初在英国. Its predecessor had developed a reputation as something of a chest wig chariot, a whale of a car beloved by third division footballers and dodgy building contractors.已研制出942声望看成一种胸部假发战车,鲸鱼一车心爱的足球和地方法院民事三部承建. Few saw what was about to hit them.看了几个正要打人.
An early clue came in the form of an Autocar magazine road test entitled ?The Fastest Cars of 1993?早日线索来到一个汽车杂志的形式题为道路试验?1993车最快? which included then fresh luminaries such as the Porsche 911 Carrera, the Lotus Esprit, the Lotus Esprit Sport 300, the BMW M3, the Caterham Supersport and the Toyota Supra, looking a trifle self conscious with its huge spoiler and Christmas tree decoration tail lamps.其中包括诸如那么新鲜云集保时捷911Carrera先生思捷荷花,荷花捷康300供应M3的宝马、丰田、超常的caterhamsupersport,从一件小事意识到自身拥有庞大的破坏者、圣诞树装饰灯具尾巴. But after days of testing, the staffers decided that out on the public road, in all weather conditions, the Supra was the quickest of the bunch.但经过连日测试后,决定于公共士道全天候、超是最快的一群. Other magazines soon joined in, lauding this extraordinary car.其他杂志即将加入喝采,这不平凡的车.
But the Supra still didn?t catch the imagination of the British public in the way the Subaru Impreza and then the Nissan Skyline did.但仍超雾化?笔赶上英国公众的想象力的方式,那么富士impreza尼桑天际那样. Yes, it sold steadily, remaining largely unchanged until its demise apart from the introduction of a CD autochanger in September 1994.不错,稳步出售、其余大致不变,直到其消亡除了推出唱片autochanger1994年9月. Most cars you?ll find will feature the optional automatic transmission.大部分车吗?当地寻找将以择自动变速器.
The Supra died quietly in late 1996.在1996年底悄悄的超常死亡. Toyota, like rivals Nissan and Mazda, found that small, if steady sales of big and heavy supercars were simply not worth the marketing costs.丰田、日产和马自达的对手一样,发现小若大而繁重的销售稳步supercars简直不值营销成本. It was only with the boom in Japanese imports that the Supra enjoyed an unlikely second coming.直到与繁荣,日本进口超欣赏了第二不大可能到来.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The UK-spec Supra is the brainchild of Toyota?s Isao Tsuzuki, the man behind the first two generations of Toyota MR2.英国谱段的构思丰田?收盘tsuzuki部功,后面一男子两代丰田MR2细胞. He didn?t do a bad job.他雾化?笔做不好. The cabin feels snug for two with a high window line and a dashboard that arcs round to point most of the instruments at the driver.座舱感觉舒适两高一窗线和仪表板,圆弧圆点大多在司机的文书. The driving position is very good with a spacious footwell and supportive seats.驾驶位置是非常好的一个座位宽敞footwell和支持. The low steering column and awkwardly placed handbrake are the only minor annoyances.低栏和督导硬生生地handbrake是唯一轻微烦恼. In the UK there was only ever one model released, namely the twin turbo.在英国历史上只有一种模式不断释放,即双涡轮. This had a very high specification with leather interior, cruise control and active spoiler.这个具有很高的规格与内政部皮革、巡航控制和积极破坏者. The UK version also had a large air intake in the middle of the bonnet and headlamp washers which make it stand out from the import versions.英国版也有大量空气中摄取的头盖及前照灯洗衣机,使它脱颖而出进口版本.
Of course, a car that debuted in 1993 isn?t going to be the cutting edge as far as cabin styling is concerned and the interior does major on black plastic.当然车亮相1993肖国?笔会是前卫至于机舱内是否与造型上大黑塑料. Space in the rear is best described as token, although there is a large albeit shallow luggage bay.空的后方最好形容道理,虽然是一个大行李虽然浅湾.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
This can get complicated.这可以复杂. We?ll initially limit ourselves to ?official?我们?起初局限于当地雇员?官方? UK cars rather than the flood of cars that has subsequently arrived from Japan.英国车车泛滥,而不是后来从日本抵达. These were all 326bhp fixed head 2+2s, offered in standard trim with a manual gearbox but more frequently found with an automatic.这些都是固定头326bhp2+2收盘,课程标准与修剪手册变速箱更常见的自动步枪. Prices for a typical 94L manual car start at around £7,500 with an auto commanding a bout £300 extra.典型九亿四千一百万车价格手册7500英镑左右开始有自动波指挥300多英镑. The last of the 1996N-registered cars fetch around £9,000 in manual form and a similar amount for a well looked after automatic.最后的1996n登记手册车卖到9000英镑左右,形成了一个类似金额自动不俗.
Thing is, only a small proportion of the Supras you?ll see will be UK cars.事情是,只有一小部分的supras你?英国将看到当地汽车. Anything later than 1996 will have come in the ?grey?什么晚于1996年将开的?灰色? import route and quite a few before ?96 to boot.进口三号不少吗?96剖腹产. Here you open up a real Pandora?s box.你这里打开一个真正的潘多拉?收盘信箱. Specifications such as RZ, RZ-S, GZ, SZ, and SZ-R all combine to confuse the casual observer.如规格归零,归零硫、广州、深圳、深圳受体结合各混淆散观察员. There are fixed head and aerotop targa models as well as cars with just two seats.有固定头aerotoptarga型号轿车以及仅用两席. Basically, SZ models are non-turbocharged 225bhp cars, the SZ-R being a higher specification whilst RZ (standard) and GZ (luxury spec) models are both turbocharged to 280bhp, the RZ-S variant being a stripped out basic version.基本上,深圳模式非增压225bhp车神舟住宅被归零而更高规格(标准)、广州(豪华谱)型号都为280bhp增压,<归零收盘变种被剥光了一个基本版本.
Twin turbo aerotop models ceased production in May 1995 and normally aspirated SZ-R aerotops ended their production run in August 1998.双涡轮aerotop型号停产于1995年5月,一般送气神舟住宅aerotops办1998年8月结束生产. The last Supras rolled off the production line in July 2002.最后supras冷轧生产线2002年7月序幕.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
Those Japanese mechanicals are well proven and reliable.这些都充分证明,日本机电、可靠. Check the service history with turbo cars, however, as a neglected synthetic oil change is not exactly ideal for a car with such a powerful engine.检查服务历史与涡轮车,但是为改变忽视合成油不尽理想,与这样强大的汽车发动机. Maintenance will have needed to be regular and done by someone who understands these relatively complicated cars.有需要加以保养和定期做这些比较复杂的汽车有些认识. Blown head gaskets are an early Supra bugbear and can cost around £1,500 to remedy.吹头垫圈想到能早日超费用约1500英镑补救. Symptoms of this include a gradual loss of coolant, a leaking overflow bottle after hard driving, occasional gurgles from beneath the dash and temperatures rising sharply when accelerating hard or driving uphill.这包括症状逐渐失水、漏溢瓶后拼命工作,波光粼粼偶尔从冲刺时,气温急剧上升,加快硬驱动或上山. Turbochargers tend to be fairly bulletproof but if the Supra is puffing white clouds from the exhaust, walk away.增压往往是相当防弹但若是超常膨化白云从排气,走开.
Tyres need a good deal of tread left, as the Supra can be hungry for rubber and make sure that if the engine has been modified in any way that it?s been done by reputable sources and that you inform your insurance company.轮胎需要很大的胎面离开由于饥饿橡胶超能做到,如果已经改良引擎,它无论如何?收盘做了信誉,你才告诉保险公司. Make sure you fit an alarm/immobiliser too as these cars are attractive targets for joyriders.做到警钟适合你/帕萨特轿车太有吸引力,因为这些指标joyriders.
The headlamp lenses of import cars are plastic as opposed to glass on UK models and often goes dull which requires a refurbishment.进口车的前照灯塑胶镜片相对玻璃屋模型谬论平淡,需要整修. You may also need to underseal the car, as Japanese rustproofing is virtually non-existent.你可能还需要underseal轿车,作为日本rustproofing几乎不存在.
As for the interiors, leather upholstery may be worn if it hasn't been cleaned often so check the stitching.至于内地、皮革座垫可佩戴若仍未清理检查的时候做缝纫. The wealth of convenient, electric features should all be in working order.财富便利、电气特性都要操作. Sunroof, mirrors, central locking, air conditioning, windows and seats should all be checked to save you expensive and fiddly fixes later.天窗、镜子、中央锁、空调、窗户和议席全部清查救你昂贵fiddly海枯石烂.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(Based on a 1994 Supra twin turbo and exclusive of VAT - approx) Replacement parts for the Supra are widely available from a number of sources and Toyota has taken an admirable policy in servicing grey import cars, proclaiming the Supra to be a global product.(基于1994年和超双涡轮增值税专用-大约)更换零件的超广可从许多来源和丰田迈出了令人钦佩的政策服务灰色进口车超宣告成为全球产品. Spares are agreeably cheap although your best chance of snagging some discounts is to trawl around websites such as http://www.mkivsupra.net or http://www.supras.co.uk/虽然你是欣然备件便宜一些折扣,是最佳机会磨等网站搜罗左右http://www.mkivsupra.net或http://www.supras.co.uk/
ON THE ROAD 在路上
It still shocks many the first time the full 326bhp is unleashed.还有许多第一次全面冲击326bhp是如虎添翼. They equate the Supra with being another butch looking coupe, but it?s the equal of cars like the Porsche 911 Carrera, the Lotus Esprit Turbo or the BMW M3.他们正与另一等同超批量展望采伐、但它?收盘平等轿车保时捷911Carrera先生一样,荷花涡轮或宝马M3同捷. In other words extremely fast, and as the Supra is bigger than all of these cars the speed just feels even more unlikely.换言之非常快,作为超比所有这些车的车速刚感到更不可能.
Handling is up to the power and performance, the Supra feeling supremely confidence inspiring.最多的是处理和表现力,超感觉道出信心振奋. There is no stability control function available, however, and on wet roads an inexperienced driver and the Supra may make unhappy bedfellows.毫无可稳定控制功能,但对一个没有经验和湿路,司机和用人唯超可开心. The handling and road-holding has a large safety bias built in but be sure you know what you're doing before you throw one of these big, heavy and powerful cars about.处理和道路安全大控股已建成但肯定偏向你知道你做什么,然后你扔其中大、重型车和强大. UK spec cars will hit 60mph in 5.8 seconds and run on to a limited 155mph.英国光谱车将达到60mph秒,行走在五月八日至155mph有限. Remove the limiter and you have a genuine 170mph vehicle, straight out of the crate.清除限制器和你有真正170mph车,直出匣. Count yourself very fortunate if you return 23mpg.如果你指望自己非常幸运23mpg回报.
OVERALL 总体
The Toyota Supra Mk IV is well worth persevering with.丰田队超四是值得执着. Yes, you will see more than a few over modified and under maintained dogs in your search for the right car but when you track down an honest example, you?re buying a car that had the measure of a 911 back in ?93.不错,你将看到比数保持在对道具、狗车,但你找到正确的,当你追查一个诚实例如你?买车已重新衡量了911回来?93. Times may have changed since then, but the Supra is still one evil customer.时代从此可能会有所改变,但仍然是一个恶客超.
