I gotta try and find someone with a stock mk4. Shift Fast wants me to go to Darlington dragway with them, it'd be an interesting thing to see. Mk4 vs mk5. All the excuses that would be made online. Lol

^I know spec wise the A90 is wider, but in that pic it doesn't look like it. Maybe its just the color and angle.

(I don't know why I wrote quad tips as a synonym for dual exit)

I am not talking about physical similarities, I am talking about how the design similarities of the car has transformed over 25 years. There's no way they would look remotely similar after all this time, very few 90s cars have profound similarites with that respective model today.
Unfortunately for the Supra, 16 years being out of production means it has lost 2 generations to make the gradual design transition from the 1993 design to 2020 design.
If we imagine the FT-1 being a MK4.5, then we can more easily see the transition from MK4 -> FT1 (MK4.5?) -> MK5.
Granted, had a Mark 4.5 come out it would have looked something like this:

This one really feels like a half-step between the Mark IV and V.

i didnt know the UK Supras had all those goodies.
Ya they got great stuff. Some MKIV owners will buy parts off those cars from europe to add them to our USDM models.

Pretty cool stuff when you consider that was 1993.

it looks like the 86 fused with an NA2 NSX and this was the result
