If you are a fan of the Fast and Furious franchise, you probably noticed the iconic
Toyota
Supra driven by Brian O'Connor. The late Paul Walker played this character. This muscle car thrilled viewers due to its amazing performance and the way it embodied Brian's outgoing personality.
The hype surrounding the vehicle paid off as the car sold for $550,000 at a recent auction. This is the second Supra from the movie to go on sale after the first one went for $185,000 in an auction in 2015. Let's dive into the details of the vehicle and the auction.
One of Connor O’Brien’s infamous Supras just sold for more than half a million dollars.

The Toyota Supra was used in two ‘Fast and Furious’ movies

The Toyota Supra sold by Barrett-Jackson was the initial car driven by the late Paul Walker. He used it for multiple internal and external sets before it was modified for a supporting character that was played by Michael Ealy.
However, each actor used the vehicle in a different movie. Paul Walker used it in the first Fast and Furious in 2001, while Michael Ealy used it in 2 Fast 2 Furious in 2003. After the second movie, the vehicle's engine and body were restored to their original states. It is in such states that the automobile was sold.

The Toyota Supra features a factory-made twin-turbo engine that powers the rear wheels. Its engine has 3.0-liter capacity inline-six cylinders under the hood. Besides, it is mated with a four-speed automatic transmission.
However, it has a fake, tiny round gearshift near the driver's seat that makes the transmission appear to be manual. On the outside, the vehicle features a Lamborghini Diablo 'candy orange' paint and the famous 'gladiator' decal along the side.
It has Bomex front spoilers and side skirts and runs on 19-inch wheels that enhance its looks. The car also has a TRD-style bonnet and an APR aluminum wing to give a true racing appeal. While other details were not given, it appeared to be in good shape and ready to drive.
The Toyota Supra from the same movie set sold in 2015 featured a naturally-aspirated inline-six engine mated with a five-speed manual transmission. Its engine produced 220 hp and had a 3.0-liter capacity. In the movie, the car raced against a Dodge Charger that was driven by Dominic Toretto.

Is Toyota still producing the Supra brand?

Toyota is still producing the Supra brand. However, the latest vehicles in the model line look nothing like the classic ones used in the movie. While the modern Supra retains the racing appearance, its body is heavily modified to increase the downward force, give it an athletic appeal, and incorporate the latest innovations in aerodynamics.
Interestingly,
Toyota
states that the 2021 Toyota Supra runs on a turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder engine like the auctioned model. However, it produces more power at 382 horsepower and 368 lb-ft of torque, unlike the 240 hp in the auctioned model.
The most recent models also feature other technologies, such as Variable Valve Timing, a twin-scroll turbocharger, and an electric wastegate. Its GR Supra trim comes fitted with a turbocharged inline-four engine that produces 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The turbocharged engine is mated with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The GR trim is lighter than the base model Toyota Supra. This enables it to deliver more speed and a better racing experience.
