Do all supras have 2JZ engines?

No, not all Toyota Supras have the iconic 2JZ engine. While the 2JZ engine is a popular and powerful option, the Supra has been offered with a variety of engine configurations over the years, including both inline-six and V6 options.


The Toyota Supra and Its Engines


The Toyota Supra is a legendary sports car that has been produced in several generations since the 1970s. The Supra is known for its impressive performance, sleek styling, and the availability of the renowned 2JZ inline-six engine in later models.


The 2JZ engine, first introduced in 1991, is a 3.0-liter inline-six that is renowned for its strength, reliability, and tuning potential. Many enthusiasts have modified 2JZ-equipped Supras to produce well over 1,000 horsepower. However, the 2JZ was not the only engine option available in the Supra.


Other Engine Options for the Toyota Supra



  • Early Supra models (1978-1986) were powered by a 2.6-liter inline-six engine.

  • The third-generation Supra (1986-1993) was offered with a 3.0-liter inline-six, as well as the 3.0-liter 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE turbocharged engines.

  • The fourth-generation Supra (1993-2002) was available with the 2JZ-GE and 2JZ-GTE engines, as well as a 3.0-liter V6 option.

  • The latest, fifth-generation Supra (2019-present) is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline-six engine, but it is not a 2JZ.


So while the 2JZ engine is undoubtedly the most iconic and popular engine choice for the Supra, it is not the only option that has been offered throughout the car's history. The Supra has been available with a variety of inline-six and V6 engines, each with its own unique characteristics and performance capabilities.
