![]() The curves of the RX7 still look incredible today and we dare say it is the sexiest of the bunch. Unlike the laggy turbo systems of its peers, the RX7’s sequential turbo system was extremely smooth with its distinguished sound. The RX7 was a masterpiece of its time with the twin-turbo rotary engine. These easily range upwards of $200k with unmolested examples extremely difficult to find even in Japan! Expect prices of the Supra TT to trend up in the coming years. Non-turbo and AT Supras can be found for cheap but the twin-turbo MT Supra is the one to have. The 2JZ motor is also extremely tuneable and the infamous Supra rear wing blazed the trail for many crazy oversized spoilers of the 90s. Out-of-the box, the twin-turbo Supra had the fastest straightline speed of the bunch. That ass! The Supra never reached the same level of hype and status of the NSX and GT-R in the Japanese market but was probably the most popular JDM supercar in the US market, made popular by Fast & Furious and also the fact that the GT-R was never imported and the NSX being priced significantly higher than its peers. Due to the large volume of R32s made, we expect prices to remain stable with the exception of limited runs such as the Nismo or N1 models. Prices start at ~$80k but can run up to over $200k for mint examples. Prices of the R32 can vary significantly depending on condition. We would stay away from the highly modified examples and parts for the R32 can be surprisingly expensive. Most, if not all R32s will have some level of modifications as it was a crime back in the day to not have a loud 5-inch exhaust with a hissing blow-off valve. The R32 looks the most hooligan of the bunch and will surely attract unwanted attention at local roadblocks. It is a common fact that the highly tuneable RB26 engine can reach insane power levels of 400-500hp easily, which was an incredible feat in its time. ![]() Better versions of the GT-R have come and gone since the R32 but this was the cult hero that really put the GT-R at the top of the tuner scene. The limited NSX-R, if you are lucky enough to find one, will go for no less than a million dollars!! We expect prices to continue to trend up as it is still the undisputed king of Japanese sports cars Prices start at ~$400k with mint examples going for well over $600k. The car is easy to service and replacement parts can still be ordered new from Japan.Īutomatic cars can be had for ~$300k but the Manual cars are the ones to have. The sleek and well-sculpted lines of the body have aged well as the NSX remains just as much of a head turner today as it was back in 1990. ![]() This car was incredibly well built and pampered examples show little signs of age with its simplistic and purposeful interior. The NSX drives like a dream with its Aryton Senna inspired chassis and Formula-1 derived VTEC engine. Probably the best sportscar that Japan ever made (yes, even taking into account the R35 GT-R), the NSX shocked the world at launch and is still highly regarded today. If you have ever been a fan of Best Motoring, you will know what the NSX is about. We have shortlisted 5 of the best sportscars from each of the top Japanese Makes that can qualify for import today! The 90s were a golden era for Japanese manufacturers with Turbos and VTEC dominating the performance scene. We are seeing an influx of Japanese imports in the Hong Kong car market with the weakened Yen and strengthening dollar.Ĭar enthusiasts have been jumping at this opportunity to bring in classic sports cars from Japan as vehicles of 20 years or older can now qualify for registration as classic cars.
