Overview
The development of the A80 began in February 1989 under various teams for design, product planning, and engineering led by Isao Tsuzuki. By the middle of 1990, a final A80 design concept from Toyota Technical Centre Aichi was approved and frozen for production in late 1990. The first test mules were hand-built in A70 bodies during late 1990, followed by the first A80 prototypes being hand-assembled in 1991. Again using subframe, suspension, and drivetrain assemblies from the Z30 Soarer (Lexus SC300/400), pre-production of the test models started in December 1992 with 20 units made, and official mass production began in April 1993.
Performance
The turbocharged variant could accelerate 0-60 mph in as low as 4.6 seconds and cover 1/4 mile in 13.1 seconds at 109 mi/h. Car and Driver magazine includes a rollout in their 4.6 seconds test (typically about 0.3 second) that they subtract from the acceleration figures. The turbo version has a tested top speed of 160 mi/h, but the cars are restricted to just 180 km/h in Japan and 250 km/h in worldwide markets. European versions of the car also had an air intake or scoop on the bonnet. It has a for the naturally aspirated models and 0.32 for the turbo models but unknown with the rear spoiler.
