RALLIART: The Spirit Lives On

Toyota History | Soarer

The 1st gen. Toyota Soarer (Model MZ11), Toyota's first personal luxury car, caused a sensation in Japan as a prestigious specialty car and won the 1981-1982 Car of the Year Japan. "Soarer" is used with its meaning of a high-performance glider.

The Soarer, Toyota's first personal luxury car, was a long-nose, short-deck 2-door notchback coupé with forward-leaning center pillars and thin rear pillars. The dashboard featured a digital speedometer, an LED tachometer, a digital speed alarm (that could be set to go off at any desired speed), and a microchip-based automatic air conditioner, epitomizing the upcoming age of car electronics.

The two available engines included 2.8-liter (5M-GEU) and 2-liter (1G-EU) units. The former boasted the highest specifications in Japan, producing a gross output of 170 PS. An SOHC turbocharged unit (M-TEU) was added to the lineup in June 1981. The top-grade 2800 GT Limited model was made available in March 1982, featuring specially designed leather bucket seats, an audio system by Technics, and an original 2-color body. In January 1985, the 2.8-liter engine was replaced with a 3-liter unit (6M-GEU) that produced 190 PS.

The Soarer caused a sensation in Japan as a prestigious specialty car.

The Soarer won the 1981-1982 Car of the Year Japan.
