Notably, a new Sony tape deck adorns the dash, ready for a future CD changer addition. The instrument cluster adheres to a Japanese tradition of clear, pragmatic design, with a prominent 85mph speedometer, a nod to U.S. regulations, alongside the tachometer.
Beneath the sleek hood, a soulful 2.8L in-line six-cylinder engine resides, channeling its prowess to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox.

An iconic piece of Japanese sports car history, Nissan’s series of Z cars have been around since the late '60s. Badged as Datsuns in the United States, the Z cars were highly desirable when brand-new, as they marked a sort of affordable entry into the sports car segment for eager enthusiasts.

Toyota is one of the best-selling car manufacturers in the world, offering millions of American consumers reliable transportation for their daily needs. However, the Japanese automaker is also responsible for providing the enthusiasts with some of the best and most memorable sports cars that have since become revered by all. Names like Celica, Supra, and Trueno are all on the wishlists of many JDM fans. So, too is our featured car: a 1993 Toyota MR2 Turbo Coupe. The MR-2 name stands for “Midship Runabout,” with this sports coupe featuring a mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive. This example includes the potent 3S-GTE turbocharged engine, and a manual transmission, making this a proper driver’s car, plus an instant modern classic.
When the Honda/Acura NSX debuted in 1990, it was widely considered to be the first supercar from Japan. Its exciting styling, VTEC engine and purist-oriented driving dynamics made it a highly desirable car, and it was produced for fifteen years. Then, Honda decided to do a follow-up. Of course, in true spirit to the original, the new or second-generation NSX had to be a technological tour de force. So, Honda gave it the best hybrid technology and nearly double the power of the original. Cue up this 21,863-mile 2017 Acura NSX as a fine example of the result. Well worthy of the supercar tag, it’s now available for you to own and enjoy as often as you like. Just contact us and inquire on how to purchase it.

Now that the 25-year importation rule is history, owning an R34 GT-R isn’t just a dream but an achievable reality. However, long shipping times might test your patience. Why wait? This 1999 GT-R R34, finished in Bayside Blue, is ready for someone eager to create lifelong memories behind the wheel.
