Some cars are rare because of what they are. This one is rare because of what it started as—and what it’s become.
A 1993 Premier Edition Toyota Supra Turbo 6-speed, finished in Toyota Baltic Blue, built as a factory wingless hardtop. That combination alone puts it in the category enthusiasts talk about in hushed tones: the cleanest silhouette, the right gearbox, the right trim, and the right color—without the visual noise. Accident-free, garage-kept, and still wearing its original Toyota glass all around, it arrived at Supra-Works as the kind of Supra you preserve. Then we did something harder: we preserved it by rebuilding it better than new.
This was a true nut-and-bolt restoration, where “complete” means complete. The undercarriage was repainted, the engine bay was shaved and refinished, and the body was beautifully repainted in Baltic Blue with the sort of depth that makes the color feel liquid under light. An authentic TRD hood—a piece that deserves respect—was carefully restored and preserved rather than replaced, keeping the car’s story intact while elevating the presentation to modern standards.
But the real shock comes when you look past the paint and realize every system beneath it was reimagined with the same uncompromising intent: nothing old was reused. All Toyota supporting parts were replaced with new. Every component that could age, fatigue, corrode, or compromise confidence was addressed, refreshed, or upgraded. The result isn’t just “restored”—it’s reset.
At the center sits a no-excuses engine build designed to be both responsive and ruthless. The foundation begins with a polished Callies 3.2L nitride-treated 4340 crankshaft, paired with Manley Pro Series I-beam rods and ARP625+ rod bolts. Compression is set with custom Wiseco 10:1 pistons, and the bottom end is reinforced with billet main caps and ARP studs, plus a thoroughly modernized oiling strategy—modified oil pump, ABM billet high-capacity oil pan, and a PHR oil cooler with filter relocation. Cooling is equally serious with a massive -20AN system and electric fans, ensuring the car’s “wild setting” isn’t a party trick—it’s a repeatable reality.
Up top, airflow is sculpted and fortified: a Stage 3 ported and polished head, 274° GSC S2 camshafts, GSC dual springs and titanium retainers, GSC superalloy valves, and manganese bronze valve guides, secured to the block via ARP Custom Age 625+ main studs. Timing control is handled with a Gates racing belt and billet tensioner hardware—details that speak to the build philosophy: strong where it must be, precise where it matters, and finished where most builds stop paying attention.
Boost duty comes from the heavy artillery: a Garrett G45-1500 mounted to a PHR V45 manifold, controlled by dual TiAL MV-R wastegates, and exhaling through a 4-inch stainless and titanium exhaust system. Charge air is kept stable with an ETS 6-inch intercooler, while the intake side is elevated with a Hypertune intake manifold. Crank case pressure is handled via Hypertune camshaft covers feeding a properly engineered -12AN breather system. Engine mounts are semi-solid for control; hardware throughout is titanium for strength and finish. Select engine parts are hand-painted—because on a build like this, mechanical excellence and presentation are inseparable.
Fuel and electronics are where modern Supra-Works builds separate themselves. This car runs a dual brushless pump system with flex fuel and Injector Dynamics 2600XDS injectors, supported by stainless filtration. Control is handled by a Haltech Nexus R5 with tucked wiring and an IC-7 display, drive-by-wire throttle, individual cylinder thermocouples, IGN1A coils on a custom bracket, and a full suite of Haltech and RIFE sensors. The entire peripheral harness was redesigned and updated—removing the conventional fuse-box dependency and letting the R5 command the car with a cleaner, more reliable architecture. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes work you don’t brag about—because it’s not flashy—but it’s exactly what makes a 30-year-old car behave like a modern, high-end machine.
The drivetrain was built to match the ambition. The legendary V160 was hand-built by Paul Cheshire in the UK, upgraded with a billet center case and fresh synchros. All new Toyota attachments and sold bushings place the shifter into the drivers hand so you never miss a gear. A Tilton clutch, PHR 3.5-inch driveshaft, OS Giken differential, and DSS Pro-Level axle/hub kit complete a package designed to handle real power without compromising road manners. Suspension comes by way of HKS coilovers, Titan Sway bars and the stance is finished with custom CCW Classic 3-piece wheels—timeless hardware for a timeless shape.
Inside, the same philosophy continues: restore the integrity, modernize the experience, and keep it unmistakably Supra. HVAC is fully rebuilt with new foams and filtration—and in a detail that speaks volumes, this car now features a cabin filter system even though MkIV Supras never came with one from the factory. The interior is comprised of all-new Toyota panels or professionally refinished, long-discontinued pieces, paired with Sparco carbon seats, a carbon rear seat delete, and a carbon steering wheel. Fresh Toyota black carpet and HKS removable carpets tie it together with a factory-plus feel—clean, functional, and worthy of the car’s caliber.
And yes—this Supra is as capable as it is beautiful. With the horsepower switch, it can be tuned from mild, street-friendly manners to a full 1,500-horsepower wild setting—a car that can cruise like a properly sorted classic and transform into something ferocious with a flip of intent.
The judges understood it immediately. This build took top honors at the 2024 Tri-State Toyota Supra Meet, and anyone who’s been around the platform knows what that means: not just power, not just paint, but complete execution. The full parts list is beyond extensive, and the hours invested are deep into the thousands—because a build like this isn’t assembled, it’s authored.
This Baltic Blue Premier Edition now sits in that rarest space: a Supra that is ready for a drive, an enthusiast, or a collector. It will fit into any high-dollar, exquisite collection—and still stand out as a benchmark example of what a MkIV can be when restoration and innovation share the same standard.
Supra-Works went all out on this one. The result is a car you can drive, show, or keep privately—confident that nothing was left behind, and nothing will be left to chance.
