Bonnie Kathleen Blair (born March 18, 1964) is a retired American speed skater. She is one of the top skaters of her era, and one of the most decorated athletes in Olympic history. Blair competed for the United States in four Olympics, winning five gold medals and one bronze medal.

Blair made her Olympic debut in Sarajevo in 1984 where she finished eighth in the 500 meters. At the time, Blair trained in both short-track and long-track speed skating. She won the 1986 short-track world championship. Blair returned to the Olympics in 1988 competing in long-track at the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary. There she won her first Olympic gold medal in the 500 meters and a bronze medal in the 1,000 meter. Blair won two gold medals in the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and her final two Olympic gold medals at the 1994 Lillehammer games. Blair continued competing through 1995 when the World Championships were held in Milwaukee, finally retiring in March 1995.

After retiring from speed skating, Blair became a motivational speaker. She has been inducted into the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame, the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame, and the United States Olympic Hall of Fame.

Early life and education

Blair was born in Cornwall, New York to Charlie and Eleanor Blair. She was the youngest of six children.[1] Her godmother is Canadian speed skater Cathy Priestner.[2] The family moved Champaign, Illinois when Bonnie was a toddler.[1][3] Already a hobby for her siblings, Bonnie first tried skating at age two.[3] She participated in her first skating meet at age 4.[3] The organization of short-track speed skating in Central Illinois, with the University of Illinois Ice Arena being a founding member, aided her development.[citation needed] She attended Jefferson Middle School and later Centennial High School in Champaign[4] In addition to skating, Blair was also a cheer leader and a member of the student council.[5]

At age 15, Blair tried out for the national team, earning a spot on her first attempt.[6] With her increased focus on the 1984 Olympics, Blair went to train in Europe.[3] She completed her high school diploma through the mail in 1982.[3] That same year, the Champaign Policemen's Benevolent Association began sponsoring some of Blair's training expenses.[3][2] She moved to the Milwaukee area to train with the United States national speed skating team,[5] living with a family friend while she trained.[6] Blair took classes at Parkland College, although college classes were less of a priority than training and she did not receive a degree.[5][7]

Early career and first Olympics (1984–1986)

Blair made her international competitive debut at the 1984 World Sprinting Championships where she placed tenth.[8] Later that year,Blair appeared at her first Olympic games at age 19 in Sarajevo.[9] Blair had not been not considered a front-runner and later recalled she was happy just to be at the games and see her family in the stands.[10][11] She failed to medal and finished eighth in the 500 meters.[1] The U.S. failed to win any speed skating medals at the 1984 Olympics.[12] Blair trained in both short-track and long-track. Blair won events at 1984, 1985 and 1986 short-track world championships and was the 1986 overall short-track world champion.[13]

A strong performance at the United States International Skating Association Metric All-Around Championships, held in West Allis, Wisconsin, earned Blair a spot on the U.S. long track women`s sprint team for the 1985 World Championships.[14] Blair won both the 500 meter and 1500 meter at the West Allis event, and was considered one of the U.S. team's strongest medal contenders.[14][8] In May 1985, at a time when U.S. speed skating lacked unity, U.S. International Speedskating Association replaced national team coach Dianne Holum with Mike Crowe.[15]

Rise and becoming an Olympic medalist (1987–1989)

Early in 1987, Blair won World Cup titles in the 500 and 1,000 meters.[16] She followed up her World Cup titles in by setting her first world record in the 500 meters with a time 39.43 seconds.[17] Blair also proved she could beat East-German world champion Karin Enke-Kania in head to head match-ups.[16] Although Blair was four inches shorter than Enke-Kania, Blair's technique and fast start time made her a formidable competitor.[16] Blair held a world record at 500 meters until December 1987 when Christa Rothenburger beat her time at the World Cup.[12] Blair, under the weather with a cough and cold, finished second in the event.[12] Overall, Blair won 4 of 18 women's medals at the 1987 World Cup; East German skaters, including Rothenburger, won 13.[12] At the December 1987 U.S. speed skating trials for the 1988 Winter Olympics, Blair led the women's field in the 500,1,000, and 1,500 meters, securing her place on the U.S. Olympic team, as expected.[18][19] Blair was considered a stronger competitor in the shorter distances, where she was seen as the United States' best chance at a gold medal in speed skating.[20] U.S. speed skating failure to win a single medal at the 1984 Olympics added to the pressure and attention focused on Blair leading up to the 1988 games.[20]

Blair went on to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Alberta, where her first event was the 500 meters.[21][22] Rothenburger skating first, setting a new world record.[21] Blair responded to the challenge with her best start ever in the 500 meters, winning the gold medal in world record time of 39.10 seconds.[2][22] For her second event of the games, Blair had a personal best and briefly set an Olympic record in the 1,000 meters.[2] Two of Blair's competitors, who skated after her, subsequently beat her time; thus Blair won the bronze in the 1,000 meters.[2][22] Blair's third and final event of the 1988 Winter Olympics was the 1,500 meters, in which she placed fourth.[2] Blair's family friends in the stands, affectionately known as the "Blair Bunch," became a staple of her competitive career.[2][3]

Despite her success at the 1988 Olympics, Blair did not enjoy a windfall from endorsements.[23] Holding Blair back from more advertisements was both her choice of sports, which was thought to be less marketable, and ABC's coverage of the games, which failed to resonate with viewers.[23]

Following the 1988 Olympics, Blair also tried track cycle racing, and was coached by former speed skater and cycling world champion Connie Paraskevin. Cycling became part of Blair's speed skating training as both sports utilized the same muscle groups. She made her competitive cycling debut in June 1989 at the Sundance Juice Sparkler Grand Prix.[24]

Repeat Olympic gold (1992)

Blair again competed at Olympics in 1992, this time held in Albertville, France. Blair again won gold in the 500 meters, becoming the first woman to win the event in back to back Olympics, with a time of 40.33 seconds. The time was slower than Blair's time in Calgary, however, the venue in Albertville was outdoors creating conditions which were less conducive for speed skating. The second place finisher, Ye Qiaobo of China, claimed to have been slowed down by an improper crossover from another skater. Although Ye claimed the crossover cost her the gold, the referee's rejected China's protest. Blair dedicated her gold medal to her father, Charlie, who had passed away from lung cancer two years earlier. Charlie had dreamed of Bonnie becoming an Olympic speed skater.[25]

In her second event, the 1,500 meters, Blair finished 21st. The placement was due in part to the strategy of her coach, Peter Mueller; Mueller told Blair he would give her a signal to coast if he felt she was not on pace for a podium finish, allowing her to conserve energy. As Blair approached the final 400 meters, Mueller gave the signal.[26]

Blair also won gold in the 1,000 meters (1:21.90).[9] Her time was only .02 seconds faster than Ye.[26] Blair's gold made her the most decorated U.S. woman in Winter Olympics of all time.[26]

Final Olympics (1994)

In 1986, the International Olympic Committee voted to stage the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics in alternating four year cycles. Thus, the next Winter Games would be held in February 1994 rather than in February 1996.[citation needed] At the 1994, U.S. Olympic long-track trials at the Pettit National Ice Center, Blair set track records in the first round of the 500 meter and 1,000 meter trails.[27] The 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, were a coronation of sorts for Blair: She again won gold in the 500 meters (39.25) and 1,000 (1:18.74) meters races, in dominating fashion. Blair finished 0.36 seconds ahead of the second best time in the 500 meters, and her 1.38 second margin in the 1,000 meters race is the largest margin of victory in the history of the event. In the process she became the first American woman to win five gold medals.[28] She also was the only American to have 6 medals at any Winter Olympics, a record that stood until short-track speed skater Apolo Ohno surpassed it at the 2010 Winter Olympics.[citation needed]

Post-Olympic career

After the 1994 Olympics, Blair continued to compete.[5][29] Less than a month after Lillehammer Olympics, Blair set another world record in the 500 meters, becoming the first female to complete the race in under 39 seconds, achieving a time of 38.99 seconds.[5] Blair topped her own World Record the following year, achieving a time of 38.69 on February 12, 1995 in Calgary.[17] Blair continued on to the 1995 World Championships in her adopted home town of Milwaukee.[29] The Blair Bunch, the name given to Blair's family and friends, accounted for 12% of the crowd at the Pettit National Ice Center.[29][6] There, Blair won the 500 meters with a time of 39.54 seconds.[29] On March 18, 1995, she retired.

When the Winter Olympics returned to the United States in 2002, Blair was one of the final torchbearers to carry the Olympic flame into Rice-Eccles Stadium for the opening ceremony in Salt Lake City, Utah.[30] As of 2002, Blair served on U.S. Speedskating's board of directors.[30] As of 2014, Blair worked as a motivational speaker and corporate spokesperson.[31] That same year she was a member of the U.S. Olympic delegation to Sochi.[31] As of 2018, Blair serves on the board of the Pettit National Ice Center.[32]

Awards and honors

In 1992, Blair became the third winter athlete to win the Sullivan Award.[33] Blair won the 1992 Oscar Mathisen Award (being the first female winner of this award). She also was Female Athlete of the Year as selected by the Associated Press in 1994. Blair also won the World Cup points championship 11 times. Sports Illustrated named Blair their Sportswoman of the Year for 1994.[33] By 1994, Blair's hometown of Champaign had renamed one of its streets Bonnie Blair Drive.[5]

She is a member of the Chicagoland Sports Hall of Fame and the Wisconsin Athletic Hall of Fame.[34] In 2004, she was elected to the United States Olympic Hall of Fame.[35] She was awarded a star (#7) on The Flag for Hope on September 29, 2015 in recognition of her outstanding Speed Skating Career and philanthropic efforts.[36][37]

Personal life

Blair began dating fellow Olympic speed skater Dave Cruikshank in 1990.[38] The pair married in Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1996.[38] Blair and Cruikshank have two children: a son, Grant, and daughter, Blair.[39][40] As of 2018, Grant Cruikshank plays hockey at Colorado College.[32] Blair Cruikshank competed at the 2018 United States Olympic speed skating trials at the 500 meter distance, held in Pettit National Ice Center.[32]

How Was The Collective Mood As Stocks Started A 19-Year Secular Bull Run In 1982?

Stocks Must Overcome 2017 Gloom

Even with the backdrop of numerous positive technical developments, it may be difficult to envision the stock market moving higher given skepticism has been lingering for several years. The tone of reporting from this week’s World Economic Forum has had a decidedly pessimistic slant. From the International Business Times:

DAVOS, Switzerland — Despite the usual trappings of revelry here in the Swiss Alps at the World Economic Forum, an unfamiliar mood grips the proceedings: gloom. World leaders and people in charge of money are nursing angst over the potentially perilous state of the global economy. They confront an overwhelming array of crises all at once — China’s economic slowdown, the collapse of energy prices, plunging stock markets, confusion over monetary policy, conflict in the Middle East, an attendant surge of refugees into Europe, and the ever-present threat of terrorist attacks.

What Can We Learn From History?

In this article, we will examine one question and one question only:

Is it possible for stocks to successfully hold a breakout from a long-term consolidation pattern when the social mood and news of the day have a pessimistic slant?

How Was The Mood Back In 1982?

If you followed the news back in 1982, it would have been difficult to imagine the S&P 500 had already started what eventually became an 18-year secular rise. As you scan the bullet points below from the Wikipedia 1982 page, try to imagine the physiological impact of weekly headlines that included wars, bankruptcies, plane crashes, high unemployment, geopolitical strife, a debt crisis, and acts of terror:

Why 1982?

From Yahoo Finance:

In the last 81 years, there have been only two “outside years” before 2016: 1935 and 1982. Both of these years were followed by the S&P enjoying double-digit gains — +28% in 1936, and +17% in 1983 — which potentially sets the table for a monster rally into 2017.

There are several technical occurrences in the present day that are similar to the early 1980s. For example, the S&P 500 broke out of a consolidation box in 1982 by exceeding the high that was made nine years earlier in 1973. In 2013, the S&P 500 exceeded the highs from both 2000 and 2007, which represents a significant long-term breakout for equities. 2016 also represented a very rare “outside year”, an event that last occurred in 1982. The concept of an outside year was covered in detail on December 30.

More Recent History Also Features Consolidation

The concept of consolidation followed by a breakout or breakdown applies to all timeframes. The chart above shows a consolidation box that was in play between 1997 and 2013. A more recent view of the S&P 500 also features a consolidation box that dates back to 2014 on a monthly chart. Stocks are currently holding onto a bullish breakout from the 2014-2016 consolidation box.

The Broad Market Has Been Consolidating For 19 Years

Similar to the multiple-year consolidation that preceded the 1982 breakout in stocks, the present day market also features a consolidation box that started forming back in 1997. As of this writing, the NYSE Composite Stock Index is holding above the orange consolidation box shown below.

The View From 30,000 Feet

If we double back to the first chart in this article, it is easier to see how the concept of consolidation and breakouts may apply to 2017 and beyond. There were plenty of reasons to be pessimistic in 1982, and yet stocks were able to advance after breaking out.

2017 Is Significantly Different From 1982

Our purpose is not to say 2017 is 1982. In fact, 2017 is a unique year that will be different from every other year in human history. The same can be said for every year; they all follow a different fundamental and technical script.

History reminds us that the recent bullish breakouts from long-term stock market consolidation patterns do not necessarily need to be coupled with widespread optimism for stocks to advance over the next several years. Almost no one was expecting an 18-year secular bull run in stocks given the news of the day in 1982, and yet, that is exactly what happened.

Before a lot of energy is wasted on the differences between 1982 and 2017, keep in mind our purpose was to examine one question and one question only:

Is it possible for stocks to successfully hold a breakout from a long-term consolidation pattern when the social mood and news of the day have a pessimistic slant?

Notice the term “possible” is used above, meaning all bearish scenarios also remain in the realm of possibility. This exercise helps us remain open to all outcomes, not just the pessimistic outcomes often covered in the media. Time will tell.

V polovině 70. let byla hlavním sportovním modelem Toyota Celica. Po ukončení výroby 2000GT v nabídce chyběl vůz se šestiválcovým motorem, který by mohl účinně konkurovat Datsunu Fairlady Z (mimo Japonsko: 280Z). V srpnu 1977 se v prodejních salonech objevila druhá generace Celicy s motorem vzadu, označená TA40. Karosérii ve verzi kupé nebo liftback navrhl David Stollery společně s týmem designérů z Calty Research Design Inc. v kalifornském El Segundu. Přední část karosérie byla prodloužena tak, aby se do ní vešla řadová „šestka“.

13. dubna 1978 se v Tokiu představil nový model Toyota Celica XX, a to výhradně ve verzi liftback s karosérií prodlouženou o 129,5 mm. Pod maskou pracoval šestiválcový motor 4M-EU o objemu 1988 ccm a výkonu 125 koní při 6 000 ot./min., resp. jeho varianta 4M-E o objemu 2 563 ccm a 140 koní při 5 400 ot./min.

Modely nesly označení Celica XX 2000 (MA45), resp. XX 2600 (MA46). Jednotka Nippon Denso-Bosch L-Jetronic s přímým vstřikováním pocházela z limuzín Cressida a Crown. Novinkou bylo nezávislé zavěšení zadní osy místo tradiční tuhé nápravy. Všechna kola byla vybavena kotoučovými brzdami. Zpočátku se vůz nabízel výhradně s manuální pětistupňovou převodovkou, později přibyl i čtyřstupňový automat Toyoglide.

Kromě motoru se Celica XX od své čtyřválcové jmenovkyně lišila mřížkou chladiče s lištami ve tvaru písmene „T”, zlatým ozdobným nápisem „Celica XX” na B sloupku, sériovým posilovačem řízení, sportovními disky s pneumatikami 195/70 HR 14, velurovým čalouněním, klimatizací a celou řadou dalších možností.

Vozidlo bylo v nabídce souběžně se standardní čtyřválcovou Celicou. Pro exportní trhy byl určen název Celica Supra, což v latině znamenalo „ta, která převyšuje vše”.

Závod začíná

8. dubna 1979 sehrála Toyota Celica Supra čestnou roli bezpečnostního vozu (safety car) v závodech United States Grand Prix West na okruhu Long Beach v Kalifornii. Motor byl vybaven turbodmychadlem s plnicím tlakem 0,41 bar, díky němuž vzrostl výkon na 220 koní. Bylo použito tužší zavěšení, plynové tlumiče Bilstein a na discích z lehkých slitin se ocitly závodní pneumatiky Bridgestone Racing. Během testů na dráze Long Beach dosahovalo vozidlo rychlosti 222 km/h. Čestná funkce safety car připadla Toyotě také 1. října 1979 během závodu US Grand Prix East na dráze Watkins Glen (New York). Zde se podařilo překročit rychlost 241 km/h.

Do aut určených pro americký trh byl montován šestiválcový motor 4M-E 2,6 l o výkonu sníženém na 110 koní. První Celicy Supra se mohly pochlubit ozdobnými pruhy na karosérii ve sportovním stylu. Vybavení bylo mnohem bohatší než u jiných verzí Celicy.

Roku 1979 Toyota poprvé v historii překročila půl milionu osobních aut prodaných v USA za jeden rok. Svůj podíl na tomto úspěchu měla i Celica Supra, prezentovaná jako výkonné kupé s bohatou výbavou. Ke zklamání řady kupců, kteří očekávali mnohem lepší výsledky než v případě čtyřválcových variant, dosahovaly sériové vozy rychlosti 175 km/h. Od září 1980 (ročník 81’) nastoupily motory 5M-E o objemu navýšeném na 2 759 ccm a výkonu 116 koní (později 121 koní). Tento vůz tehdy stál 11 298 dolarů. Pro srovnání – nejdražší Celicu se čtyřválcovým motorem bylo možné koupit za 7 695 USD. Vůz byl k dostání také s automatickou převodovkou, tempomatem a balíčkem „Sport” s tužším zavěšením. Do září 1981 bylo vyrobeno cca 100 tisíc kusů modelu Celica XX/Celica Supra. Více než polovina našla své kupce v USA.

Elektronický kokpit, zavěšení Lotusu

V červenci 1981 se v Japonsku představila druhá generace modelu Celica XX (řada MA61 a příbuzné MA63 a MA67). Karosérie o délce 4,61 m na platformě Celicy se vyznačovaly dynamickým, lehce hranatým designem, rozšířeným nadkolím a vysouvacími světlomety, které byly pro tuto dobu typické. V Japonsku se auto označované jako GA61 nabízelo s dvoulitrovým

motorem 5 1-EU (125 koní) nebo 5M-GEU (2,8/170 koní). Nabídka byla rozšířena o verzi s turbodmychadlem (2,0/145 koní). Součástí byl balíček Performance (P-Type) nebo Luxury (L-Type). Americká Celica Supra Mk. II byla poháněna jednotkou 5M-GEU (2,8/145 koní), ovšem v dalších letech značka vůz nabízela s různými konfiguracemi motoru a manuálních či automatických převodovek. Na mnoha trzích se automobil dočkal katalyzátoru.

Nový model se poprvé dostal na vybrané evropské trhy, mimo jiné do SRN, Švýcarska, Švédska a Velké Británie, nicméně nesetkal se s příliš výrazným zájmem. V USA však jeho popularita nadále rostla. Modifikace se v další generaci zaměřily na řízení a brzdnou soustavu. Na vývoji nového nezávislého zavěšení typu McPherson se stabilizátorem se podílel britský Lotus (od 1984). Značně se tak zlepšily jízdní vlastnosti auta, které se mohlo rozjet rychlostí až 210 km/h a z 0 na 100 km/h zrychlilo za 8,8 sekundy.

Na americkém trhu byla Celica Supra standardně vybavena hliníkovými disky, automatickou klimatizací, elektricky ovládanými okny a zrcátky. Volitelné varianty představoval mimo jiné kokpit s elektronickým displejem, kožené čalounění, prvotřídní audiosystém o výkonu 105 W a sportovní sedadla s pneumatickou regulací. V osmdesátých letech Toyota zavedla rovněž v Japonsku dostupný navigační systém Navicom, zpočátku nabízený v luxusním kupé Soarer.

V USA slavila úspěch propagace modelu v roli safety car zahajujícího závody Grand Prix v Long Beach a Watkins Glen. Celica Supra s nápisem „Official Safety Car” byla vidět ve vysílání desítek televizních stanic sledovaných miliony Američanů. Auto tehdy dostalo titul „Import Car of the Year” (1982-84). Od poloviny dekády Celica Supra startovala v závodech turistických vozů BTCC ve Velké Británii. V dubnu 1987 se švédská posádka Torph/Melander umístila na třetím místě v celkové klasifikaci 35. ročníku závodu Safari.

V dalších letech výkon motoru postupně vzrostl až na 160 koní. Na zadním spojleru se objevil nápis „Supra”. Model brzy získal autonomní postavení právě pod tímto názvem, vytvořil si vlastní neopakovatelnou image a značnou konstrukční odlišnost od Celicy.

Blíže Gran Turismo

Motoristický svět spatřil třetí verzi Supry (MA70) – první bez slova „Celica” v názvu – 6. února 1986. Platformu měl společnou s modelem Corona prodávaným v Japonsku. V nabídce se objevila skládací střecha typu targa pod názvem Sport Roof. Novinku představoval přeplňovaný třílitrový motor 7M-GE o výkonu 200 koní s elektronicky ovládaným přímým vstřikováním, dvěma vačkovými hřídelemi a čtyřmi ventily na každém ze šesti válců. Od roku 1987 přibyla ještě jeho silnější varianta 7M-GTE s turbodmychadlem (230-235 koní).

Vůz dosahoval rychlosti 232 km/h a zrychlení z 0 na 100 km/h zvládl za pouhých 6,2 sekundy. V Japonsku se z daňových důvodů nabízelo i auto s dvoulitrovou pohonnou jednotkou 1G-GTE o výkonu 185 nebo 210 koní a unikátní varianta 2,5 GT Twin Turbo (2,5/280 koní). Toyota Supra MA70 se vyznačovala inovativním zavěšením se systémem elektronické regulace Toyota Electronic Modulated Suspension (TEMS) a na řadě trhů také systémem ABS. Již v prvním roce se prodalo více než 33 tisíc kusů, z čehož se více než 60 % dostalo do USA.

Aby automobil získal homologaci FIA ve skupině A (závody turistických automobilů), bylo v létě 1988 vyrobeno 500 kusů limitované série Turbo-A, výhradně v černé barvě. Auta s motorem 7M-GTEU o výkonu 270 koní měla jiný spojler a další průduchy pro vstup vzduchu.

Toyota Supra Mk. III nabízela bohatou výbavu a vynikající výsledky, které se více blížily vozidlům Gran Turismo než obyčejným kupé pro mladé lidi, s uspořádáním sedadel 2+2. Na podzim 1990 byly zavedeny nové pětiramenné disky z lehkých slitin a airbag u spolucestujícího (USA a vybrané trhy). Na masce se poprvé objevil logotyp koncernu Toyota.

V USA v roce 1992 stála Supra Turbo 39 tisíc dolarů. Ve stejné době se na trhu objevily další modely Lexus a prodej sportovní Toyoty klesl na pouhých 1 174 kusů.

Hvězda „The Fast and the Furious”

24. května 1993 debutovala čtvrtá generace Supry, druhá technicky nespřízněná s modelem Celica. Výroba auta s továrním kódem JZA80 byla zahájena v podniku Motomachi (později v Kanto). Mohutná karosérie, kratší, avšak širší než doposud (4,52 m na délku) s měkkými,

aerodynamickými liniemi, pokrývala vysoce výkonný vůz. Základní motor 2JZ-GE o objemu 2 997 ccm vyvinul 225 koní, pozornost však přitahovala zejména Supra Twin Turbo (2JZ-GTE) s 330 koňskými silami pod kapotou.

Na počátku 90. let se jednalo o jedno z nejsilnějších sériově vyráběných aut, jaká se v USA dala koupit. Vůz ve své top verzi dosahoval rychlosti 262 km/h a na 100 km/h zrychlil již za 5,1 sekundy. Nová kabina obklopovala řidiče jako v nadzvukové stíhačce. Dva airbagy, ABS, elektronicky řízená klimatizace, elektrický balíček a kožené čalounění, to je jen pár položek z dlouhého seznamu sériového vybavení Supry. Na kovaná kola z lehkých slitin se obouvaly pneumatiky 255/40ZR17, mohutný zadní spojler, systém řízení precizní jako řez samurajské katany a účinné brzdy umožňovaly skvělé ovládání automobilu i v situaci, kdy řidič využíval plný výkon motoru se dvěma turbodmychadly.

Supra vážila 1 585 kg a byla v podstatě dvousedadlovým vozem, protože místo na zadních sedadlech bylo spíše symbolické. Ovšem pokud někdo vydal více než 42 tisíc USD, očekával slušnou dávku adrenalinu (zadní pohon) a nikoliv rodinné MPV. Precizní šestistupňová manuální převodovka vyvolávala nadšení u Američanů, kteří vyrostli na automatech, ovšem v nabídce byla i automatická převodovka.

Ve srovnání s rychlými, avšak nevyzpytatelnými italskými superauty byla Supra mimořádně pečlivě smontovaná, houževnatá a spolehlivá, pokud majitel prováděl alespoň minimum servisních činností. Ti, kdo měli příležitost jezdit s vozem Supra JZA80, se shodnou na jednom – bylo to auto velmi odolné vůči bezohlednému jízdnímu stylu, včetně takového, při kterém se ručička otáčkoměru neustále pohybuje v červeném poli. Tuneři byli bez problémů schopni dosáhnout výkonu až 650 koní.

V roce 1998 Toyota Motor Sales USA prodala 682 auta z 1 232 vyrobených v tomto roce, a proto padlo rozhodnutí, že se Supra z klíčového trhu stáhne. V Japonsku a dalších zemích zůstala JZA80 součástí nabídky až do července 2002. To byla zatím poslední generace Supry, která se ještě během výroby stala motoristickou legendou, stejně jako její velká předchůdkyně Toyota 2000GT.

21. září 2001 se na plátna kin celého světa dostal film „Zběsile a rychle“ („The Fast and the Furious”) v režii Roba Cohena. Hlavní hrdina Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) jezdil Suprou model 94’ vytuningovanou, dle slov hrdiny filmu, „na víc než 1 000 koní”, zářivě oranžové barvy Candy Pearl Orange. Vůz byl vybaven mimo jiné turbodmychadlem Turbonetics T-66, výfukem z leštěné nerezové oceli, vstřikováním N2O (krátkodobé zvýšení výkonu o 100 koní), zavěšením Eibach a 19 palcovými disky M5Tuners Dazzle Racing Hart. V jedné ze scén O’Conner porazil v pouličním souboji Ferrari F355 Spider.

Jak film, tak Toyota Supra získaly obrovskou popularitu a vyvolaly nadšení milionů diváků po celém světě. Toyota Supra se stala ikonou moderní popkultury. Objevila se i v pokračování úspěšného filmu nazvaném „2 Fast 2 Furious“ (2003) a kultovních hrách „Need for Speed“, „Gran Turismo“ nebo „Forza Motorsport“. Ještě dnes, 26 let od svého debutu zatím poslední Toyota Supra fascinuje a vyvolává obdiv. Je to vyhledávaný vůz sběratelů i milovníků profesionálního driftování.

Očekávaná pátá generace

V roce 2007 se začalo hovořit o nové nástupkyni. Měla se jí stát Toyota FT-HS (Future Toyota-Hybrid Sport). V lednu 2014 roku se představil impozantní koncept Toyota FT-1, v únoru téhož roku pak právníci Toyoty podali u amerického patentového úřadu žádost o prodloužení platnosti výhradního obchodního názvu „Supra”. Od té doby se mnohokrát neoficiálně objevily předzvěsti velkého sportovního kupé, jež mělo vzniknout ve spolupráci s BMW, avšak až do března 2018 nebylo jasné, jak bude vypadat a zda zdědí název po své velké předchůdkyni z minulého století.

V březnu tohoto roku se na veletrhu v Ženevě představila Toyota GR Supra Racing Concept, předzvěst budoucí tovární Supry páté generace. Dvoudveřové závodní kupé má klasické uspořádání s motorem vpředu a náhonem na zadní nápravu. Automobil je konstruován z lehkých materiálů, dostal široké nárazníky, přední a zadní spojler, zadní difuzor, prahové lišty a rámečky zrcátek. Snížené přední a zadní zavěšení, sportovní výfuk, závodní kola BBS obutá do pneumatik Michelin a brzdy s čelistmi a kotouči Brembo Racing připravily koncepční Supru na závodní jízdu

na dráze. Ke stejnému účelu slouží syrové, závodní vybavení interiéru s volantem, sedadly a pásy OMP.

V dubnu se virtuální GR Supra Racing Concept objeví v nové verzi hry „Gran Turismo Sport“ firmy Polyphony Digital Inc.
