Toyota Supra MKIII Group A

A true love boat of its time, not very successful but managed a 3rd place on its debut in Africa. The turbo version apparently was pushing 400bhp. This was a straight 6 3.0 turbo (N/A also) car. Brilliant.



Determination in the face adversity

Bonus points for obscurity, similar to Nissan using the S12 200SX V6 for a few years in the late 80s.

A cool car undoubtedly. But I guess if we were being picky, it has way less than 4 cylinders.

I warn you guys - this Evo clip is seriously NSFW:

I realised a lot of the rally cars i like are 4-cylinder'ed.
So it can only really be...

My sentiment entirely! As soon as I read the thread title I thought "Has to be five, doesn't it?"

Always been intrigued by the road version of these. A lot of very clever tech and extremely heavy-duty parts hiding under the skin.

Gents as much as I like the firneza it was a four pot!!! The only one with a v8. was a south Africa model and it was never rallied in the UK sorry

If you are going to be pedantic then at least get it right.
The car pictured IS a South African one and is rallied currently by Jimmy McRae so it is more than welcome in this thread!

The Stratos never competed in the Group B era..

But the Alfa Romeo GTV6 successfully did!
