What Car is a Supra in GTA 5?
The Jester Classic in GTA Online is a near spot-on recreation of the legendary Toyota Supra A80 sports car released in 1993. With its iconic curves and rear wing, gearheads can reimagine their dream builds in Los Santos.
Homage to an Automotive Icon
As a long-time car enthusiast and gamer, the Supra holds a special place in my heart. The real-life A80 was a cult classic thanks to its impressive performance and frequent appearances in movies like The Fast and Furious.
According to Kazutoshi Mizuno, chief engineer on the A80 Supra:
"We set out to create a pure sports car that embodies Toyota‘s most advanced technologies."
So when Rockstar introduced the Jester Classic in GTA Online, I was thrilled to get behind the wheel of this automotive icon once again!
Jester Classic and Jester RR Performance
The Jester RR takes inspiration from the latest GR Supra launched in 2019. Let‘s compare some key stats of the in-game JDM superstars:
| Car | Top Speed | Acceleration | Handling |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jester Classic | 121.25 mph | 9.9 seconds | Good |
| Jester RR | 127.25 mph | 3.7 seconds | Excellent |
Based on player testing stats from Broughy1322 and GTA Boom, we can see both models are extremely quick off the line and around a circuit.
The Classic has been a competitive vehicle choice for Sports class races since its debut. But the RR leaves it in the dust with even faster acceleration and cornering capabilities.
Why GTA Racers Love the Jester Cars
Beyond the nostalgia factor, the insane performance potential of the Jester series makes them desirable picks for completing story missions or dominating GTA Online events.
Renowned YouTube racer Cntthruster explains why the Jester RR stands out:
"With the right upgrades and tuning setup, this thing is an absolute beast. The grip and responsiveness just blew me away."
And the Classic remains popular due to its affordable price and ability to take corners smoothly in the hands of a skilled driver.
These in-game replicas capture the excitement of drifting or drag racing in a real Supra. And you can push them to extremes on the streets of Los Santos without worrying about repairs or traffic laws!
Customization Options for Style and Speed
Through Benny‘s Original Motor Works, you can convert the Jester Classic into a custom lowrider with flashy paintjobs and hydraulics.
Or apply racing modifications like spoilers and splitters to enhance aerodynamics. And finetune gear ratios, brakes, suspension geometry for track excellence.
Here are some of my recommended upgrades for these GTA Supras:
Engine and Transmission
- Race Intake and Fuel Systems for more horsepower
- Street or Sport Transmission for faster acceleration
Wheels and Tires
- Tuner or High End rims in 19 or 20 inch sizes
- Custom Tires for maximum traction
Aero and Chassis
- Front Splitters and Rear Wings for downforce
- Chassis Bracing and Suspension Lowering for responsiveness
The right combo of visual flair and tuned mechanics enables truly personalized Supra builds ready to tear up the streets of Los Santos!
Conclusion
The Jester series perfectly captures the spirit of Toyota‘s legendary sports coupe. Both classics and modern fans can enjoy racing these icons around the corners and highways of Los Santos.
With the right customizations and tuning, a skilled driver can push these Supras to top speeds exceeding most supercars in GTA Online. After hundreds of hours behind the Jester steering wheel myself, I‘d say Rockstar nailed it!
So if you hear a roar that sounds distinctly like a 2JZ-GTE drifting past, it‘s likely a fellow GTA gearhead reliving the thrill of the iconic Toyota Supra!
