What models of Japanese sports cars deserve attention?
Japanese sports cars appeared already in the 60s. Unfortunately, the Polish economy at that time did not allow buying such an expensive and as if there was no luxury vehicle. Fortunately, there have been times when their prices have decreased and we can buy them without much problem. We will start the comparison of several models with the Lexus LFA. This model includes only 500 copies, which was designed in 2009. Under the hood we can find an engine with a capacity of 560 hp and a volume equal to 4.8 liters. Due to such a small number of vehicles released on the market, now their price increases every year.
For cabriolet fans, the Mazda MX-5 may be the perfect choice. Not only does it look original, but it also guarantees a lot of fun while driving it. Today you can buy this model even for a few thousand. Surely many motorsport fans will think of the Subaru Impreza 22B. As befits Japanese sports cars, here too, we can find a large amount of horsepower under the hood. The engine is 2.2 liters, and the power is 280 hp. Unfortunately, in this case you have to reckon with increased difficulty when it comes to accessing this model. Not a lot of them have been produced.
Subsequent models of Japanese sports cars with a power of more than 200 hp
Toyota Supra is another model of a sports car from Japan, which under the hood has up to 324 hp depending on the specific year of release and version. Also an interesting model is the Honda NSX, which was produced from 1990 to 2005. Under the hood we can find an engine with variable timing phases with a capacity of 275 hp. The Mitsubishi 3000 GT also boasts a considerable number of horsepower in its construction. The twin-turbocharged engine achieved power reaching up to 320 hp. For such a small car, this is an impressive number. The last in today's comparison will be the Nissan Skyline GT-R, which surprised with a power of close to 600 hp after tuning.

Unfortunately, there is no good news for their fans, because the country of cherry blossoms is increasingly betting on ecology and hybrid and electric car models, where achieving such high engine power will be a significant difficulty. Nevertheless, still in the automotive market you can meet sports Japanese cars with the opportunity to bring them and buy them.
