The Celica Supra Matures Into A Performance Car.
In 1982 Toyota introduced the second generation Supra, or MKII, with a 2.8-liter Double-Overhead-Cam (DOHC) inline 6-cylinder engine (the 5M-GE). The new engine developed 145 horsepower and launched the Supra as Toyota's performance leader.

The new Supra still shared its basic chassis design with the more plebian Celica although Toyota added numeous styling and mechanical changes to further differentiate the two models. The most distinctive Supra identification was the front styling with distinctive disappearing headlamps, long power bulge hood and slit grill with integrated driving lights. Additional styling cues included wheel flares (later shared with the Celica GT-S), roof-mounted spoiler, and exterior paint schemes. On the mechanical side the Supra had four wheel disc brakes and an independent rear suspension (both of these were also shared with the Celica GT-S). The 1982 Supra was such a formidible execution of design and engineering that it won Motor Trend's Import Car of the Year award.

Changes:

1982: The second generation Supra is introduced. Still based on the Celica platform the new Supra sports a completely unique front end design including: hood, fenders, bumpers, and grill. The heart of the new Supra is a 2.8 liter, DOHC, electronically fuel injected, 6-cylinder engine producing 145 hp. There are two models available: "performance" or P-Type and "luxury" or L-Type. The P-Type is came equipped with flared fenders, unique 7" wide aluminum alloy wheels shod with 225/60HR14 tires, standard 5-speed manual transmission, and optional rear window sunshade spoiler. The L-Type or "luxury" model went without the wheel flares and sunshade spoiler but offered some special option packages not available on the performance model such as a leather seat trim package and a digital electronic display package. The L-Type also featured special aluminum alloy wheels shod with 195/70SR14 tires. The L-Type rims were also available on the Celica as an option. An optional 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission was available on the L-Type only.

1983: The engines output is increased by 5 hp to 150 hp and a new "electronically controlled" 4-speed automatic transmission is made available. Other changes include the addition of platinum tipped spark plugs, a new differential ratio on the 5-speed. The sunshade is now standard on the performance model. The L-Type gets a new standard cloth interior. Mudflaps are now available on the performance model along with headlight washers. For some strange reason the headlight washers are not available on the L-Type. A leather interior, previously available only on the L-Type, is made available mid-year as an option on the P-type.

1984:The Supra recieves it's first slew of minor updates, primarily cosmetic. On the exterior the front spoiler is redesigned to improve high-speed aerodynamics. New wrap around parking/turn signal/side marker lights replace the separate markers used on the 82-83 models. On the rear, the hatch is now body colored, unlike the previous year models which were all black regardless of body color. The small Supra logo in the right rear corner of the hatch is replaced with Supra spelled out in large outline letters across the full width of the hatch. The rear taillights are also updated with the most visual change being the relocation of the reverse lights from the center of the lens to the inside next to the license plate frame. The previous pull open door handles are replaced by a flip up design. The interior recieves numerous updates as well including a new two-spoke steering wheel, a new 130 mph speedometer (finally killing the stupid 85 mph version). The control pods on the sides of the instrument cluster which housed the cruise control and rear defroster controls are replaced with switchs for the rear defroster and a main activation switch for the cruise control (the functions for setting, cancelling, and resuming cruise control are moved to the windshield washer stalk), and the power door lock switch moves from the center console to the door armrest. The previous year's cassette/equalizer radio upgrade is now standard.

1985: Changes from the 84 model are subtle with the most significant change being a redesigned rear spoiler. The single large sunshade spoiler is replaced by an integrated sunshade (flush to the hatch) and lower rear spoiler. The two-tone paint option is revised so that instead of just the lower portion of the car (below the side trim) being painted in a different color, the top of the car is painted to match as well. The L-Type gets new 15" rims shod with 205/60/15's. The new rims are a flattened version of the performance model's wheels and are quite rare. A Toyota factory alarm system is offered and this was the first year that heated power side view mirrors were made available. The radio is redesigned with most things being the opposite of before. The equalizer is now smaller and mounted below the radio. The main radio controls are moved to the driver's side of the radio and the station buttons are now located above rather than below the station indicator window.

1986: While 1985 was to be the last year of the second generation model, delays in production of the third generation model put Toyota in the position of having no model to sell at the start of the 1986 season. To fill the gap, Toyota held over the 1985 model. This holdover required the installation of the new for 86 mandatory center high mounted stop light (CHMSL). The CHMSL was mounted in the center of the lower spoiler. It has been relayed to me by owners of these cars that they were sold and registered as 1986 models. The L-Type was not carried over to 1986.
