    Toyota probably isn’t the first company you think of when it comes to sports cars, but the Japanese car company has actually made some pretty good sorts vehicles in its time, many of which, like the Toyota Supra, have become firm favorites with petrolheads across the globe.

    If you’re interested in knowing more about Toyota sports cars, check out this list of, what are in my opinion the greatest Toyota sports cars ever made:

    The Toyota Supra

    The Toyota Supra is undoubtedly Toyota’s finest foray into the world of sports cars to date. The Supra, which was first launched onto the market in 1978, performed like a dream, but it was the 1986 model that really impressed sports car enthusiasts thanks to its six-cylinder engines 320 hp and 3-liter engine. Fans of the Supra might be interested to know that a new model is on the horizon.

    Lexus LFA

    Okay, so you might be wondering what this is doing on the list because a Lexus is certainly not by any stretch of the imagination at Toyota, but you see, the Lexus LFA was actually produced by the Toyota Corporation. This beast of a machine is fantastic, benefiting as it does from a 4.8 liter V10 engine and extremely impressive 522 hp. Sure, it’s way more expensive than the average Toyota, but it wipes the floor with most of them too – the only reason it didn’t make top spot is that it technically isn’t a Toyota at all.

    Toyota S800

    The S800 was the first sports car produced by Toyota, and although it only had a0.8 liter engine, boasting just two cylinders, the 44 hp car excelled because of its lightweight construction, weighing in at just 1,300 pounds, which means that it could handle high speeds without breaking a sweat. It also paved the way for sportier Toyota designs today.

    Toyota GT-One

    Any Toyota mechanics who really know their stuff will tell you that the GT-One is a real feat of engineering design. Race car, which was completely road legal, was the perfect vehicle for speed lovers who want a vehicle that matches up to some of their favorite race cars. With a turbocharged V8 engine, making 600 hp at least, and with the ability to travel a mile in as little as 44 seconds, it’s a really great vehicle, which sadly won’t be seen on the streets today.

    Toyota 2000GT

    This car had to be on the list if only because it is one of the most attractive Toyota vehicles ever made. Sadly, only a few of 2000GT’s were produced back in 196t7, but they showed the world that Toyota really could produce a fantastic sports car as evidenced in this cars 6-cylinder 2000 CC engine, and lightweight 25000 lb weight. If you can find a vintage 2000GT it has to be worth your money.

    Toyota Celica

    The 1986 Toyota Celia was the first to be all-wheel drive turbocharged, making it the best to bear the name. The fact that it has 190 hp and a four-cylinder engine also made it pretty impressive at the time, but it wasn’t until the last years of the 90s when the Celia made 251 hp that it really shine. Sadly, the late 90s version of the car was also the last.

    Are you a Toyota lover? Which of the company’s sports cars would you have put on the list?

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
