    About this ebook

    Written by award-winning automotive historian Aaron Severson, with a forward written by Tom Blackman, A Complete History of the Toyota Supra is the definitive history of the iconic Toyota Supra sports coupe. From it's humble beginnings as a North American version of the Toyota Celica XX, to it's supercar status in the late 1990's, every detail of the Supra's development is painstakingly documented. Author Aaron Severson consulted dozens of original sources - including many written in Japanese - to compile an historical reference. Tom Blackman, the director of Olathe Toyota Parts Center (the book's sponsor), launches the book by talking about the likelihood a future version of the Toyota Supra that many hope will debut shortly after the book's release.
