Description

The Toyota Soarer was a personal luxury GT coupé sold by Toyota in Japan from 1981 to 2004 built on the same manufacturing platform as the Supra. The Soarer débuted in 1981 with the Z10 series, replacing the Mark II Coupe, which took the form of an angular two-door coupé. In 1986, a more rounded Soarer was launched (the Z20 series).
