brassbones Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 For those that are interested in such things ... nearly 70% of all MK4's were made between 93 and 96. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShawnPreece Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wow interesting numbers, is that just for the jap market or including UK specs and left hand drive american ones too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think that's Jspec only. 600 or so UK spec weren't there? No idea how many LHD yankies there were? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh cool, still makes good reading yeah I may be corrected on this but from what iv been told it was 600 UK specs with 180 manuals and 420 auto's (no idea numbers year on year though) and no clue about the yanks either lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 My maths by your numbers totals 84%, 1993 to 1996 inclusive. So a high percentage are circa max 23 year old cars out there, based on that data. Certainly interesting, model variant break down numbers would also be a good read I believe.

JackyBoi Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Awesome data, seems very hard to come across Supra's made after 1999 nowadays! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) My maths by your numbers totals 84%, 1993 to 1996 inclusive. I seem to have forgotten how to operate a calculator!!! LOL!! So an even more amazing proportion made in the early production years. It looks vaguely like an exponential decay in numbers by year and this must have been in response to demand? If so that's another very surprising notion .. interest in owning this car new fell away exponentially Edited November 30, 2016 by brassbones (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudsey Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I seem to remember reading that it was a very expensive car at the time of sale. Deminishing sales, i believe killed the production numbers, along with the new emission regulations for 2JZ. Only what I have read though.

Sheefa Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 650 UK specs originally produced I think. Will check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) There were 673 production RHD Europe spec Supras (aka UK Spec) made, with 3 others that are unknown if LHD or RHD. There were also 10 pre-production Europe spec that are unknown if LHD or RHD. http://mkiv.supras.org.nz/specs.htm#PRODUCTION I have details on each car if anyone is interested in year, transmission or color breakdowns.

Ric Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 quite unbelievable that worldwide there are only 45,000 supra's I maybe wrong, but for a car model thats quite a low number generally isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brassbones Posted December 3, 2016 Author Share Posted December 3, 2016 (edited) Yep, so my chart is worldwide numbers. That NZ site is pretty cool isn't it? Edited December 3, 2016 by brassbones (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Yep, so my chart is worldwide numbers. That NZ site is pretty cool isn't it? Your chart just needs the 29 pre-production cars made in 1992 added to it to get the correct total of 45,230 cars. That shouldn't spoil the nice shape of the graph too much.

Pudsey Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Also interesting that an auto twin turbo is actually rarer than a 6 speed. With nearly a 2:1 ratio on build figures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8KILR Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Also interesting that an auto twin turbo is actually rarer than a 6 speed. With nearly a 2:1 ratio on build figures. Worldwide yes, but a very different story for the UK spec. For the 673 production RHD Europe Supra, 3 were 5 speed NA (probably special order), 209 were 6 speed TT and 461 were automatic TT.

I wonder if that's just from preference when ordering, more biased towards automatic from new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
