Here's a Platinum Silver third generation (A70) Toyota Supra, which is maybe my favorite, appearance-wise. It also remains affordable relative to the increasingly-unobtainium 1990s-vintage A80 Supras. The snout and wheels make me think it's an '88 model.
Normally-aspirated ones were reasonably quick for their time, with a DOHC 3-liter straight six putting out 200bhp. When Autoweek tested one back in 1986, it managed a zero-to-sixty time of 7.8 seconds.
The A70s were just a little on the plush side, and just a little too lardy to be considered sports cars, as though they were constantly reminding you of the "+2" part of "2+2". Think of it as a Japanese Camaro RS, with the Turbo version being a Tokyo-edition IROC-Z. (In fact, that was the subtitle for Car and Driver's initial test of the car: "Japan Aims at Corvette, Hits Camaro.")
This one was photographed in June of 2020 using a Nikon D7000 and a 16-80mm f/2.8-4E zoom lens.
