The 90s Japanese performance icon - A80 chassis, 2JZ-GTE 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six. 326 bhp UK / Euro spec, 280 bhp JDM (gentlemen's agreement), but the bottom-end is famously good for 800+ bhp tuned. Six-speed Getrag manual the holy spec. Twin sequential CT12B turbos. Fast and Furious cult hero, drift-scene legend, JDM royalty. UK got both UK-spec 6-speed (326 bhp) and JDM imports (280 bhp). Production ended 2002 with no direct successor until the BMW-collaborative A90 in 2019. Genuine, well-kept Mk4s now sell for £60k-£120k+ in the UK; manual cars all the way.
