Toyota Soarer

The Toyota Soarer JDM Car was a personal luxury GT Coupe sold by Toyota in Japan from 1981 to 2005. In Japan, it was available at both Toyota Japan dealerships called Toyota Store and Toyopet Store, and it unveiled with the Z10 series, replacing the Toyopet Store exclusive Mark II Coupe, and the Toyota Store exclusive Toyota Crown Coupe JDM Car.

In 1986, the Z20 series was launched, based on the then new A70 Supra platform. In 1991, the third generation (Z30 series) Toyota Soarer premiered in Japan, while its Lexus equivalent, the SC 300/400 unveiled in the US market.

The Soarer made its first display at the 1980 Osaka International Motor Show with the name "EX-8", and the Z10 series Toyota Soarer was manufactured from February 1981 to December 1985, with 2.0L, 2.8L or 3.0L DOHC I-6 variants.

The Z20 series Toyota Soarer JDM Car was produced from January 1986 to April 1991, and was available in several variants. The styling of the second generation Soarer is similar of that of the X80 series Cressida, Mark II, Chaser and Cresta. The Soarer shared its platform with the newly introduced A70 series Supra.

From display in 1991 until 2000 all models were available with a 4-speed automatic transmission. In addition, the sportier JZZ30 Soarer could be had with a 5-speed manual transmission. All models were available with a Torsen torque-sensing differential. Unlike their US Lexus equivalents, the Z30-series Soarer lineup never received a 5-speed automatic, and only the six-cylinder versions received variable valve timing (VVTi) engines, in 1996.
