Why is the Supra called the 'Bull Demon King'?
2 Answers
Toyota Supra has exceptional power among its peers in the sports car category, with an outstanding acceleration performance, which led many to simply refer to it as the 'Bull Demon King'. Below is the development history of the Toyota Supra: 1. 1979: The first-generation Supra was Toyota's first mass-produced electronic fuel injection engine, with the MA46 adopting a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. The Supra featured a large displacement, cast-iron cylinder block, and front-engine, rear-wheel-drive configuration. 2. 1982: The second-generation Supra was born but still belonged under the Celica lineup. 3. 1985: The Japanese domestic Supra engine was upgraded with the new 6M-GE engine, delivering 190 horsepower, a slight improvement over the 5M's 170 horsepower.
This question reminds me of the early days of car enthusiasm. At that time, the car culture in Hong Kong was thriving, and the fourth-generation Supra (A80) hit the streets with its factory 3.0T twin-turbo 2JZ engine, easily tuned to unleash seven or eight hundred horsepower. Back then, few cars could handle such power, and this car's straight-line acceleration was like a raging bull charging forward. Car enthusiasts started calling it the 'Bull Demon King,' inspired by the reckless and powerful character from 'Journey to the West.' Later, the scene in 'The Fast and the Furious' where Paul Walker drove a yellow Supra in a high-speed chase ignited the 'Bull Demon King' nickname, setting the global car scene on fire.
