In this Nürburgring feature, an iconic Toyota Supra MKIV is pushed to its limits with a modern twist: a ZF8 automatic gearbox swap paired with a heavily built 2JZ engine. Producing up to 800 horsepower on high boost thanks to a massive Precision Next Gen 7275 turbo, this Supra blends old-school JDM character with modern transmission technology. Paddle shifting, reduced weight, KW V3 suspension, and a clean GT3 RS–inspired spec turn this legendary platform into a unique high-power build designed to tackle more than just straight lines.

On track, the Supra delivers strong acceleration, stability, and surprisingly good handling for a drag-focused setup, though heat management and braking reveal the challenges of running extreme power on the Nordschleife. With no ABS, limited cooling headroom, and aggressive tires, the lap becomes a careful balance between speed and preservation. This video showcases the reality of driving a high-horsepower MK4 Supra on one of the world’s toughest circuits—highlighting both the potential and the compromises of converting a drag monster into a Nürburgring contender.
