The fourth generation, known under the internal model code JZA80, was designed by the renowned designer Tetsuya Tada. The Supra MK4 was characterized by its distinctive aerodynamics design, long wheelbase, and short overhangs.

Another technical highlight of the Supra was the Targa roof, which allowed for both open and closed drives. In addition, the car had an advanced chassis and braking system, specially developed for balanced and safe driving. The Targa version also offered additional rigidity and a more dynamic driving experience compared to conventional coupe versions.
