Toyota Soarer

The Toyota Soarer is a luxury sports car sold by Toyota in Japan, which débuted in 1981 with the Z1 series. It was originally a boxy two-door coupé. In 1986, a more rounded Soarer was launched (the Z2 series).

In 1991, Toyota released the newly designed 30 series Toyota Soarer, boasting some of the most unique and most luxurious features of any car on the road at the time. It rivaled the likes of 75,000$ BMW & Mercedes-Benz vehicles and could be bought for a fraction of the price. It had a luxury feel to it, and yet for the 2.5GT model it was truly a very powerful sports car as well.

It has been sold as the Lexus SC 300 & 400 series outside of Japan since the launch of Lexus in the U.S.A. in 1991.

The Toyota Soarer made from the years 1991-1997 were offered in a 5 speed manual transmission (Only for the 2.5GT twin turbo model) and a 4 speed automatic transmission for all models. The car shares the same chassis as the MKIV 1993-1998 model Toyota Supra. Both cars suspension, brakes, drivetrains, and engine parts are interchangeable.
