THE SCREEN CAR
1994 Toyota Supra Turbo MK IV (A80) — 'Brian's Supra'
Brian O'Conner's orange Supra from The Fast and the Furious (2001).
The MK IV Toyota Supra — chassis code A80, sold in North America from 1993 to 1998 — is built around the 2JZ-GTE inline-six: a 3.0-litre cast-iron twin-turbocharged engine famous for tolerating extreme power increases on the standard internals. Stock, the US-market 2JZ-GTE Supra produced 321 hp and 315 lb-ft of torque, but the 2JZ's headroom — 600, 800, even 1,000+ hp on built engines — made it the engine of choice for Japanese tuners and, later, for the tuner-culture wave that the Fast & Furious franchise depicted on screen.
Brian O'Conner's orange Supra is the most-photographed of the film's many hero cars: it appears in the closing third of The Fast and the Furious (2001), driven across the desert in the climactic chase, and re-appears in 2 Fast 2 Furious (2003) repainted and re-cast for the supporting character Slap Jack. The on-screen build was prepared by Eddie Paul's The Shark Shop in El Segundo with help from Vertex (USA), retained the factory 2JZ-GTE twin-turbo internals, drove the rear wheels via the stock four-speed automatic, and wore Lamborghini Diablo 'Candy Orange' pearl over the Troy Lee–designed 'Nuclear Gladiator' livery. The exact film car sold at Barrett-Jackson in 2021 for US$550,000.
LEGO® 77260 reproduces the orange and the livery as a Speed Champions road-car build. Like the rest of the franchise's Speed Champions catalogue (76917 R34 Skyline, 77241 Honda S2000, 77237 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat), it lands at the 8-stud width and ~14–16 cm length that defines the road-car cell — visually a Supra, mechanically the same chassis-cell budget that Speed Champions has used since the line moved to 8-stud in 2020.
