Are you looking for a fast import car to meet your need for speed? The fastest production car in the world is something 99.9% of the world’s population isn’t likely to afford. Sold at approximately US$2.5 million and reaching the top speed of 268 mph, the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport is the rich man’s toy and is certainly not for daily driving around town. It’s impressive but sadly out of reach. Fortunately for fast car fans, you don’t have to be a billionaire in order to get a top car; just take a look at this list of high-performance but absolutely affordable pre-owned sports cars you can buy from Japanese exporters. Toyota Supra Mark IV – The Mark IV Supra launched in 1997 was based on the Celica platform. It uses a Sequential Twin Turbo to boost its acceleration from 0-60 in just 4.6 seconds. It reaches a top speed of 170mph—a remarkable feat in the nineties. The engine, a 3-liter 2JZ-GTE inline 6, made the Supra one of the most-wanted sports cars up to now. The iconic model has also appeared in various entertainment media such as movies, television shows, and video games, most notably in The Fast and the Furious movies. 1994 versions of the Supra can be had for as low as US$3000-4500 from Japanese exporters. Nissan GT-R R35 – Fast-car fans swear by te GT-R’s all-wheel drive, twin-turbo 6-cylinder engine. It’s one of the fastest import cars from Japan and can reach 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds. Flooring the accelerator takes you up to 193 mph. A sleek 1992 coupe costs around US$15000 in the secondhand market; newer versions cost a lot more—but for speed junkies, it’s worth every penny. Subaru Impreza STi – Developed by the Subaru Technica International division, the Impreza STi is the high-performance version of the Impreza WRX. It comes equipped with a 205-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine that makes the car go from 0 to 60 in 4.7 seconds. A used-car listing in Japan sells the Impreza STi at around US$11000. Mazda RX7 – This model made such a good impression when it first came out that it made the 10 Best list of Car and Driver in 1993 to 1995. The front-mid-engine layout makes handling the car pure joy, and its design is timeless you wouldn’t know it’s from the nineties. There are plenty of RX7 units in stock and you can get a 2000 model for as low as US$12000. Honda S2000 – This list of affordable and fast import cars from Japanese automakers won’t be complete without a vehicle from Honda. Under the hood of this car is what makes it a must-have on this list: a 2.0-liter inline 4, also known as the F20C. It’s the engine of V-Tec fans’ dreams, and it has been recognized as the International Engine of the Year spanning the period of 2001-2004. A 1999 release sells for around US$20000.
