When was the last Mk4 Supra made?
The last Mk4 Supra was built in 2002. The final JZA80 rolled off Toyota’s Tahara plant in Japan that year, ending the A80 generation after a production run from 1993 to 2002.
Named the Mk4 or A80, the Supra earned fame for its 2JZ-GTE engine, balanced chassis, and a cultural footprint that extends from tuner scenes to film. This article tracks the end of that generation, places it in context, and notes how the nameplate evolved afterward.
Production span and the final car
This section outlines the endpoints of the Mk4’s production and where the final units came off the line.
- Production years: 1993–2002 (A80)
- Final car: produced in 2002 at Toyota’s Tahara plant in Japan
- End of an era: the A80 generation concluded in 2002, paving the way for the Mk5 revival decades later
These points underscore the Mk4’s nine-to-ten year lifespan in markets around the world and identify 2002 as the year that marked the last build of this generation.
Legacy and the modern revival
The end of the Mk4 did not end Toyota’s sportscar story; the Supra name returned years later with a new generation designed in tandem with BMW. Below are the milestone details of that revival.
- 2019: Introduction of the Mk5 (A90/GR Supra), developed with BMW
- 2019 onward: Production primarily handled by Magna Steyr in Graz, Austria, for global markets
The modern Supra extends the lineage with contemporary performance and technology while nodding to the Mk4’s tuning culture and enthusiast appeal.
Collector implications
For collectors and enthusiasts, late-model Mk4 Supras remain highly sought after, especially well-preserved examples with the Twin Turbo setup and clean maintenance histories. Rarity increases with limited editions and lower-mileage units, reinforcing the Mk4’s status as a high-value classic in the sports-car and tuning communities.
Summary
The Mk4 Toyota Supra (A80) ran from 1993 to 2002, with the last units produced in 2002 at the Tahara plant in Japan. After a long hiatus, Toyota relaunched the name with the Mk5 (A90/GR Supra) in 2019, continuing the lineage into the present day.
