Toyota has a long history of making reliable, performance-oriented vehicles. Although its lineup includes an array of vehicles, some have stood out for their exceptional speed capabilities. In this article, we will cover scenarios like Toyota’s fastest cars, which have top speeds and performance features.
Toyota GR Supra
The Toyota GR Supra is the result of a partnership between Toyota and BMW. Powered by a 3.0 liter turbocharged inline six it makes 382 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque. It means the GR Supra goes from 0 to 60 in roughly 3.9 seconds. It has a top speed electronically limited to 155 mph.
Toyota GR Yaris
GR Yaris is a pocket rocket developed from some industry intel of the Toyota World Rally Championship. It is powered by a turbocharged three-banger that manages to wrangle 1.6 liters from which produces 261 hp and 360 Nm of torque. Thanks to that setup the GR Yaris can accelerate from 0-62 mph in 5.5 seconds and hit an electronically limited top speed of 143 mph.
Toyota Chaser 2500T
The Toyota Chaser 2500T produced between 1996 and 2001 was notable for its performance. It achieved a top speed of 155 mph and could accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.3 seconds.
Toyota Camry TRD
That is right the Toyota Camry TRD is the sportier version of the standard Camry sedan. A 3.5 liter V6 engine delivers 301 horsepower and 267 lb-ft of torque. This setup gives the Camry TRD added performance but it retains the practicality of a midsize sedan.
Toyota Avalon TRD
Toyota Avalon TRD is a full-size sedan with performance capabilities. It uses the same 3.5 liter V6 as the Camry TRD producing 301 hp and 267 lb-ft of torque. The Avalon TRD comes with a sport-tuned suspension and other performance tweaks.
Toyota Supra Mk4
The fourth generation Toyota Supra dubbed the A80 is the stuff of legend among car enthusiasts having been built between 1993 and 2002. Under the hood would be the 2JZ-GTE 3.0 liter twin-turbocharged inline-six power plant generating 276 horsepower and 318 lb-ft of torque. The 0 to 60 mph time was around 4.6 seconds and it would be limited to about 155 mph.
Toyota 2000GT
BMW dubbed the original M535i as the world’s first super saloon and now it is Japan’s legendary 2000GT that holds the supercar title. It had a 2.0-liter inline-six engine rated at 150 hp and 130 lb-ft of torque. Remarkably for its time, the 2000GT could reach a top speed of about 135 mph.
Toyota MR2 Turbo
The Toyota MR2 Turbo Specifically, the second generation MR2 featured a mid-engine layout and under the hood a 2.0 liter turbocharged inline-four with 200hp and 200 lb-ft of torque. The MR2 Turbo’s engine setup also helped it achieve a top speed of about 150 mph.
Toyota Celica GT Four
The Toyota Celica GT Four was a turbocharged all-wheel drive sports coupe developed for World Rally events over the course of multiple generations between 1986 and 1999. Depending on the generation it made anywhere from 182 to 252 horses and had top speeds between 140 to 150 mph.
Toyota LFA
Now the Toyota LFA is not included in the search results I was given but I think it deserves a mention. Built from 2010 to 2012 the LFA was a limited production supercar that used a 4.8 liter V10 to produce 552 horsepower. That vehicle had 0 to 60 mph acceleration in 3.6 seconds and a top speed of 202 mph.
All in all Toyota has produced its fair share of high-performance vehicles over the years. Current models such as the GR Supra offer the speediest Toyota but the LFA is the fastest the brand has ever created. These vehicles exemplify Toyota’s commitment to engineering excellence and performance.
