Second-generation Toyota Celica Supra gets more power and plusher

The second-generation Celica Supra debuted in 1982.

At launch, it was powered by a 2.8-liter inline six-cylinder making 145 horsepower and 155 pound-feet of torque.

Like the previous car, a five-speed manual gearbox was standard, while a four-speed automatic was optional.  

A four-wheel independent suspension, limited-sip differential and variable assist steering were standard.  

Engine output would climb steadily throughout the second-generation Celica Supra's run. By the 1986 model year, power was pegged at 161 horsepower and 169 pound-feet of torque.  

For the 1986 model year, a theft deterrent system was added as a standard feature.  

Toyota offered two variants of the second-gen Celica Supra including a performance model and L-Type.   

The L-Type was the luxury version with a digital instrument panel and choice of plush velour or leather interior.  

Power windows, power door locks, power mirrors, automatic climate control and cruise control were standard.  

A sunroof, five-speaker audio system with cassette deck and two-tone paint job were available as options.
