The 90s Japanese sports cars you already know, covered the way you'd want them covered. Every spec comes with its source. Every model page goes past the brochure into tuning, body kits and builds people actually finished.
Japanese-market figures first, export differences noted, and a citation on every number. Where sources disagree, you see both.
What the engine and chassis respond to, and where the known limits are.
The kits made for each car, by maker.
Documented builds, credited and linked to where they were first shown, plus a section for the unusual ones.
Mitsubishi
The Mitsubishi 3000GT, sold in Japan as the GTO, was the car that got everything: twin turbos, all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering and aero that moved on its own.

Toyota
The Toyota MR2 put the engine behind the driver at a price ordinary buyers could reach, across three generations: the AW11, the SW20 and the ZZW30.

Honda
The Honda Integra proved a front-wheel-drive car could be a serious driver's car, most of all as the DC2 Type R.

Toyota
The Toyota Supra A80 is the car that made the 2JZ-GTE famous, and the engine returned the favour.

Nissan
The Nissan Skyline GT-R came back in 1989 as the R32 and spent the next thirteen years as the benchmark.

Mazda
The Mazda RX-7 is the rotary sports car: three generations, all powered by an engine nobody else would commit to.

Honda
The Honda NSX took on the mid-engine supercar with an aluminium body, a VTEC V6 and the idea that such a car could be driven every day.

Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Subaru: the lineage, the engineering and the tuning houses.
Why one decade produced so many of these cars, and why it ended.
Photos and AI illustrations, each captioned with the exact car, year and variant, and each illustration labelled as one.
Deep dives on the 280 PS agreement, the RB26 and 2JZ, the aero houses, chassis codes and drifting.
