The JUN Akira Supra: 400km/h Yellow Thunder
Some builds fade. Others burn bright for decades. The JUN Akira Supra is the latter — a street-legal MkIV Toyota Supra that hit 401.20 km/h at Bonneville and drifted Tsukuba like it was born sideways. Yellow. Loud. Unapologetically violent. And unforgettable.
The Car That Hit 401 km/h On Salt
Built by JUN Auto Mechanic in Japan, the Akira Supra was originally a 1993 Supra RZ. Under the hood was a JUN-built 3.2L 2JZ-GTE with twin GReddy turbos, sequential Holinger 6-speed, and a drag-ratio rear diff. It made 1,380ps and smashed through the 400 km/h barrier at the Bonneville Salt Flats — all while retaining its street roots.
The Drift Clip That Went Global
You’ve probably seen the Tsukuba clip. If not, hit play below. It was 2000, and Option brought the Supra to the circuit. On the cool-down lap, Tarzan Yamada let it slide. That 21-second moment went underground — fast. No YouTube yet, just ripped VHS clips passed around like tuner gospel.
More Than a Drag Monster
After Bonneville, JUN reconfigured the car for the street. One massive Trust T88-34D single turbo, 950ps, a milder head setup, and street aero. But it wasn’t softened — it was honed. The result? A street-legal car that could cruise Tokyo, rip through the Aqualine, and hit 300+ km/h without breaking sweat.
POV Power with Chiba-Kun
Curious what it’s like inside the Akira Supra? Let Chiba-Kun show you. This is what unfiltered boost, sequential shifts, and cult-car vibes look like in motion:
Akira Supra: Style + Speed
From its iconic gold Advan Model 6 wheels to a full JUN aero kit and RE Amemiya diffuser, the Akira Supra defined Japanese tuner style. Inside? Recaro SPG, GReddy gauges, and a Stack 8100 digital dash. Street car. Track weapon. Top speed slayer. This thing did it all.
Legacy Lives On
JUN founder Junichi Tanaka passed in 2019. Builder Susumu “God Hand” Koyama followed in 2022. But the car they built remains a legend — a 400km/h hero that wore plates, shredded tires, and burned itself into the memory of car culture forever.
