Toyota Supra Mark IV 2JZ Hits 240 MPH - BREAKS WORLD RECORD!

Now I know this isn’t exactly a 2015 Toyota Supra, however it is Supra related and with Toyota setting a world record I think this post / video deserves a spot on here. A Supra Mark IV set a new speed record recently, when it ran a quarter-mile in below seven seconds… and broke the 240 mph barrier.The EKanooRacing 2JZ GT86 set the GCC Super-Street 1/4-mile record at the 2014/2015 Bahrain National Drag Racing Championship at the Bahrain International Circuit… with a time of 6.05 seconds, speeding at 240 mph.

Details about what’s under the hood is unknown, but the EKanoo team says it has a 2jz motor with 98 precision turbo that is mated to a 5-speed liberty transmission.

With this version Toyota took a big leap in the direction of a more serious high-performance car. Again using subframe, suspension,and drivetrain assemblies from the Z30 Soarer (Lexus SC300/400), test model pre-production started in December 1992 with 20 models,^[13] and official mass production began in April 1993.^[13] The new Supra was completely redesigned, with rounded body styling and featured two new engines: a naturally aspirated Toyota 2JZ-GE producing 220 hp (164 kW; 223 PS) at 5800 rpm and 210 lb·ft (280 N·m) at 4800 rpm of torque and a twin turbocharged Toyota 2JZ-GTE making 276 hp (206 kW; 280 PS) and 318 lb·ft (431 N·m) of torque for the Japanese version. The styling, while modern, does seem to borrow some elements from Toyota’s first grand touring sports car, the Toyota 2000GT.

The title doesn’t matter, though, the run does. It’s incredible. This not-so-little Supra that’s probably barely a Supra anymore was built by EKanoo Racing, and managed to blast through the drag sprint in 6.05 seconds, at 240mph.

To repeat, just over six seconds, at 240mph. It was set at the 2014/2015 Bahrain National Drag Racing Championship, in a car still sporting the classic Supra ‘2JZ’ straight-six engine. Presumably packing a turbocharger the size of Venus.

For the export model (America/Europe) Toyota upgraded the Supra turbo’s engine (smaller, steel wheeled turbochargers, bigger fuel injectors, etc.). This increased the power output to 320 hp (239 kW; 324 PS) at 5600 rpm and 315 lb·ft (427 N·m) at 4000 rpm.^[13] The turbocharged variant could achieve 0–60 mph in as low as 4.6 seconds and 1/4 mile (402 m) in 13.1 seconds at 109 mph (175 km/h).^[16] The turbo version was tested to reach over 285 km/h (177 mph), but the cars are restricted to just 180 km/h (112 mph) in Japan and 250 km/h (155 mph) elsewhere. European versions of the car also had an air intake on the hood. Drag coefficient is .31 for the naturally aspirated models and .32 for the turbo models but unknown with the rear spoiler.

Dear Heavenly Spirit, thank you. Thank you for providing us with the direct-port nitrous injection, four-core intercoolers, and ball bearing turbos, and titanium valve springs. Thank you. Amen.
